There are many really talented local Jersey City DJ’s that are making a name for themselves in the nightlife scene.

Downtown Medspa
We all have our little insecurities and I think if there is something we can do to make ourselves feel better about our looks, we should do it. I am not saying to go get a whole body lift, but a little something here and there makes a huge difference; whether it’s Laser Hair removal, […]

Top 12 Gluten-Free Eats in Jersey City
A couple years back I was diagnosed with this challenging allergy. I thought great, of course, I would get the most misunderstood allergy in all the land. Time to get prepared for eye rolls from waitresses as soon as they hear that first “glu-” syllable come out of my mouth. Arrivederci, to my favorite Italian […]

What better way to kick-off 2016 other than with outstanding support, networks and good company that fundamentally believe in #MentoringMatters. Friends, supporters and “Bigs” all joined […]
QUINN
In nearly every track, Quinn boldly starts it off by yelling a “Jersey City” or “201” so sincere and rugged you can smell and hear the sizzle of a White Mana burger through the recording. Considering the recognition and esteem he gets from fans and other Jersey City rappers, he is the epitomy of a […]

Vincent, The Owl Album Release Party @Seraphim Vape

Why I Am Not Moving to the Burbs
Don’t tell anyone, but I grew up in the suburbs of Long Island. I remember thinking that if I lived there long enough, I would shrivel up and die from boredom. Fast forward to the year 2016, living in Jersey City for 13 years with, dare I say, 2 kids. Granted my kids are too […]

Hamilton Pork
About a year and a half ago, I sat down with one of the owners of The Hamilton Inn, John Gondevas, for an interview. It was one of my first restaurant posts and still one of my favorites! At the time, next door to The Hamilton Inn stood a vacant space that used to be a […]
Jase Harley
The past year, I’ve been getting many emails from local artists and musicians asking to be featured on the blog. As much as I would love to interview everyone it is virtually impossible.
