It is kind of a crazy and funny story how I met my style crush and fashion soul mate Heather. We are both fashion addicts, her being a style blogger and me a personal stylist, and we met through Instagram. Kind of creepy really, but that is the age we live in. Heather and I […]
HayOner
I first met Haytham about a year ago when I walked into Sneaker Room and interviewed him and artist Jeff Rose about the shop. I didn’t want to leave! Between the energy of both of them and the vibe of the store I felt like I was in a reality T.V episode. Sneaker Room is […]
Emilio Florentine
I’ve been “courting” Emilio Florentine for an interview for over a year, ever since I first met him at the no longer existing 660 Ramp #rip. I started checking out his work right after we met and he quickly became one of my favorite artists. Emilio Florentine paints flowers, that is all he does. Flowers […]
Liberty Humane Society
I went to the Liberty Humane Society (LHS) for the first time this past week, but my first visit certainly won’t be my last. Jersey City contracted with LHS in 2004, and since then they’ve converted an old garage to meet their needs and have secured contracts with Hoboken and Bayonne. This great group of […]

JCAST 2015 Recap!
Thursday afternoon I got a bunch of messages from friends and acquaintances wishing me “good luck,” to which I responded “for what?”. Everyone had assumed that I would be attempting to cover 200 + Art events happening this weekend. To their dismay, my response was “I am sitting this one out.” To be honest, I’ve […]
NVRLand Productions
I interviewed Mackienzie King a few months ago about her life and clothing brand “Commonless Apparel”, and we clicked right away. Mackenzie wears many hats both literally and figuratively… not only does she own a clothing brand, she also owns a production company called NVRLand productions. Upon seeing some a few of the videos she […]
Little Movers Physical Therapy
Without being too descriptive, giving birth to “Mini-Chicpea” was both the most amazing experience in my life – and most painful. I suffered from a lot of physical issues that many women do after giving birth. I went to my OB-GYN for help, but there was nothing she could really do; she just told me to […]
SOL Studios at Mana Contemporary for JCAST
The very first time I stepped foot into Mana Contemporary was in August of 2014. I had seen it in fleeting as I would be on my way around the city to do various things that year and I didn’t know much about it. Having been slightly disconnected from that art world since the start […]

Astin Erikson
When you first see Astin, you wouldn’t think he could rap. I know I am not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover but Astin has this whole model/actor vibe to him… We found each other on Instagram and after checking out his funky website (you really have to check it out) and seeing […]
Sean Lugo x ChicpeaJC x Bocelli’s
Every since I started writing ChicpeaJC I’ve been so intrigued with street art and our local street artists. Sean Lugo was the first one I ever interviewed, he was the one that inspired me to seek out more like him. Since then we’ve kept in touch and I’ve become one of his biggest fans. Every […]
Tommy 2 Scoops
For years I thought Tommy 2 Scoops was just an Ice Cream spot, until I met with Tommy 2 Scoops aka Mr. Brightside Tavern aka Tommy Parisi a few months ago. Tommy is extremely well known in the JC community, he is one of the friendliest people in town. I was lucky enough to interview […]

American Dreamers
On Friday night I ventured to Merseles Studio to become fully engulfed in the world premiere of Lia Romeo’s American Dreamers. The play was based on three millennials and their transition into being adults in an adult world with adult things. Actors—Madalyn Pedone, Daniel Rutz, Tina Wong-Lu, Annabel Barret, and Alan Niebuhr really made the […]
Transmission Nightclub: Sonia Santore Fashion Show
Saturday night’s premiere opening of the Club Room at Transmission Nightclub’s was the place to be. The bar / lounge had the perfect mixture of vibes within its 5000 square foot space. Transmission Nightclub, located downtown Jersey City in the city’s art district on Bay Street is an artist work within itself. The cobblestone road […]
