Rocky Catanese a singer and songwriter in a band called Rocky and the Chapter. They will be celebrating their latest release ‘You Are Not Mine” this Saturday at Porta in Jersey City.

The Women of Action Awards
Every March, Mayor Steven Fulop and the City kick off Women’s History Month by giving awards to Women of Action in Jersey City. Each ward nominates a woman from the district to receive this honor. It’s a really big deal. These women are so incredibly inspiring and I am lucky to know a few of […]

Mint Market x ChicpeaJC
I’ve been shopping at Mint Market ever since they opened over a year ago. I love their contemporary looks and mazing vintage finds. They’ve dressed me for multiple events, specifically the Jersey City Film Festival. They dressed me in a beautiful gown that was a show-stopper, but the best part is that it was under […]
Top 9 Places for Value Shopping in Journal Square
As someone who has grown up in Hudson County and was raised on the concept of value shopping, I realized most people don’t know where to go for essentials at a reasonable price. There’s a strange connotation behind buying clothes from certain stores simply based on value, but let’s be realistic – most people can’t afford to […]
Recap of LSC After Dark: Sexy Science
On February 16th, Liberty Science Center held their seventh LSC After Dark event, and this theme was “Sexy Science.” It was definitely sexy, I’ll say that!

The Hip Hop Lab
Rosesarereal’s hip hop lab at TCMG studios this Saturday was a reincarnation of 80’s hip hop culture with a modern day 808 twist. It reminded me of the days when acts like Fab5Freddy, Goldie, and Madonna would once roam the Lower East Side of NYC, painting the streets with bravado, class, and eccentricity. The vibrant […]

The Animal Clinic and Hospital of Jersey City
The Animal Clinic and Hospital of Jersey City opened in 1939. It didn’t take its current name until 1953, though. During the earlier years, the police officers in Jersey City were still riding horses around the city. The original owners of the animal hospital were the ones taking care of all these horses. This was […]
Luna De Papel
It was a beautiful cold day when I ventured into the Communipaw Ave area to meet the owner of Luna De Papel. To no surprise, the area is drastically different from my memories as a child visiting my grandmother on Johnston Avenue. With more homes being built and unique shops opening up, Communipaw is definitely an understated area. […]
Top 6 Avocado Toasts in the Area
A wise man once said (and by “wise man,” I mean the Grubhub Twitter account), “When it comes to avocado toast, it’s all about the toppings.” Here at ChicpeaHQ, we’re all about avocado toast. While I typically enjoy making it at home, there are plenty of places in Hudson County that offer bomb avocado toasts for […]
The HeARTIST: Mateo Ahki
When I first saw Mateo Ahki, he was a last minute add-on to the Forever Young Festival hosted by Chicpea and Hayoner. I was instantly impressed by his energy and stage presence. I didn’t introduce myself to him that day, but we would soon bump into each other at different functions within Jersey City. I […]
Gary’s Sweet Shoppe in Jersey City
People always ask me what my favorite posts are. I really love the arts and culture – related articles, but to be honest, my favorite interviews have been with the people who’ve been in Jersey City all their lives. One day, I got a direct message from someone named Tara to check out Gary’s Sweet Shoppe. She […]
Journey to Abs: 11 Reasons You Should Work Out in the Morning
Since I started this Journey to Abs column, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from people asking me why I wake up so early in the morning. People ask for advice on how to get to the gym early, want to know why it’s better, and want to know how to stay motivated. I’ve […]
