Born in Georgetown, but raised in Jersey City, Nick grew up with opportunities and skills Jersey City has to see! Now going onto college, Nick […]

Especially with temperatures fluctuating between the 50s and below zeros. So why not fight it with an easy to find natural remedy called turmeric. Scientifically known […]
Children: The Death of Fine Dining
Clearly, I have temporary amnesia when it comes to taking my kids out to restaurants. It’s sort of the same amnesia that tricked me into going through labor the second time! I am not talking about the kid-themed restaurants where I am convinced that the pizza is laced with crack. I’m talking about restaurants that […]

P.S. #5 Air Fresheners
Back when I was in elementary school, I always found the annual Science Fair to be extremely intriguing.

And in terms of getting noticed, 8th graders Lailany Maldonado, Nancy Do, Ivonne Ovalles, Gianna Quijada, and Sydney Kensley of P.S. […]

70 Columbus, Jersey City’s Hottest New Rental!
Over the summer, I was invited to a sneak peek at the new 70 Columbus building while it was still under construction.

DRS Medical Associates
This post is a game changer for me. You know how many times I’ve asked for recommendations for a local general practitioner?! Every time I went to visit a new one, my experience has been not the best (I will leave the negative reviews to Yelp). I would resort to going back to Manhattan to […]

Neptune Bakery and Deli
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 […]

GEAR TO THE STREET: Summer Scum
Coming from a self-proclaimed artistic background myself, it dawned on me about a week ago (free Bobby Shmurda & the whole GS9) that I haven’t had the most opportunities to speak on my behalf about the creative thoughts I’ve had in the past thirteen years or so. But luckily, a little recent focus and self-motivation […]
