Greenville is home to some of the city’s best culinary treats. One of those treats is Neptune Bakery and Deli, which has been at the corner of Neptune Avenue and the Boulevard for decades. From the outside and upon walking in, it seems like an older, but still ordinary bakery. But Neptune is so much […]
Vinnie’s III
No conversation about pizza in Jersey City is complete without mentioning Vinnie’s. Vinnie’s has been at the intersection of Danforth and 440 for decades and they’ve developed quite a following, and one visit will quickly reveal why. I’ve been a regular at Vinnie’s for years because I like good pizza. A lot. Anyone who knows […]

I have never met anyone as passionate or knowledgeable about Jersey City’s growing culinary scene as Joely Reyes. Joely is a dear friend of mine who I met back in high school at McNair. A West Side resident for over ten years, she has long been determined to change the way others view our city. […]
Dinner at Laico’s
A childhood favorite of mine is Laico’s and they have been a Greenville staple for over 40 years!

But what Laico’s seemingly lacks in prominence, it makes up with its legendary service and mouthwatering food. Hidden […]

Cool vibes, diverse music, and great people […]
