Since then, we’ve upgraded a little and got new mics to improve the sound quality! Yay for low budget filming! When Kyra […]
“Raw Dinner” recap
I am sure those of you who follow my blog/social media have seen that I’ve been promoting for the past two weeks a “Raw Dinner”; a party that I was hosting with Chef David from Whealth along with DJ Reese and Chantal Lamour. After weeks of planning, tasting, anxiety…. the day finally came. I was so excited […]
BROA
I’ve been waiting for this post to happen ever since I first interviewed Liz, girl boss and owner of Feena Boutique. I met Michael, owner and chef of Broa cafe that day while trying on the whole store… Broa cafe which is right underneath Feena was still under construction at that time…I became fast friends […]
Bojangles!
Happy Hump day y’all. Another Wednesday means another Hip Hop Dance video! This one is a throwback jam. I am not the biggest fan of Pitbull but some of his beats just make you want to dance, like this one… Speaking of Hip Hop. This Sat night (Jan 31rst) I am hosting a “Raw Dinner” […]
Kid Kold
A few weeks ago, after working with and interviewing 17 years young prodigy/photographer Andy-Mac (which blew up my website btw) I realized that I wanted to interview more young talents, people who have a successful future ahead of them… I wanted to be there and meet them before anyone else and to follow their journey… […]
Modern Family Dentistry PT 2
Yes, I said it, going to Modern Family Dentistry with the whole family was fun! It’s been a few months since I interviewed Jen and Ari after they opened their new practice. It was time for my whole family to get their check up, cleaning and for me to get a cavity fixed (don’t judge […]
Art House Productions: Snow Ball 2015
Last night my hubby and I attended the 9th Annual Snow Ball at the Art House. Since I started ChicpeaJC in May, everyone has been talking to me about the Snow Ball, telling me it is THE event of the year! That everyone goes all out for this Gala/JC Prom. I’ve been thinking about what […]
Clarence Rich
I really thought after interviewing all these Jersey City street artists that I would end up running out of people to write about…. boy was I wrong… the more I am out there the more I learn that there are a growing number of street artists making Jersey City beautiful… some of which are more […]
“Going up on a Tuesday”
“Going up on a Tuesday”…. Since that song came out, I’ve been dying to say it and actually mean it. A few weeks ago while visiting Faded Royalty; “Stylish peep”, DJ Alaska invited me to their first live show event in Manhattan, “Screw York” at Arlene’s Grocery in the LES. Normally I don’t cover events outside […]

Happy Wednesday friends. Last dance video post “Twerk it” seemed to have been very well received! I guess I am not the only one who loves a good old hip hop dance video! Thanks for the support. This week is dedicated to a sexy slow jam “Right There” by Nicole Scherzinger and 50 Cent. I […]
Whealth
As some of you may know, I like to try and eat vegetarian 75% of the time. I am not strict about it or anything but I go through times where I feel like I’ve indulged a little too much and need to reset my body… which was the case after the holidays. I posted […]

Since I started blogging, I’ve become more and more enamored with the arts culture in Jersey City by covering JC Fridays, art openings, shows and events. Art House Productions is a non profit organization that is behind many Jersey City cultural events like the Snowball happening this Saturday night!! They’ve brought the community together on […]

gentrification: The Changing Landscapes of Jersey City

Maid In Hoboken (Jersey City)
When I became a mom I learned a few important lessons when it comes to managing life and juggling responsibilities: 1. Order whatever you can online. 2. Keep it Simple. 3. Write EVERYTHING down. 4. If you can outsource help. DO IT!! Since I started ChicpeaJC I’ve been asked multiple times for a cleaning service […]
Ann Harwood
About a year ago, on a random Jersey City stroll (pre-ChicpeaJC) we walked into Smith and Chang to look around for “tchotkes”. I spotted a photograph; a picture of two latin men dressed in 70’s gear and in the background the twin towers. This picture drew me in, it told a story, I couldn’t stop […]
Jeff Rose
I went to Sneaker Room to interview the guys that run the store; Haytham and Jeff…. Jeff manages the store but he also happens to be an extremely talented graphic designer and artist. During the interview, Haytham kept saying “Jeff is our generations Warhol”. His claim obviously piqued my interest so I checked out his work. […]
Rumba’s Cafe
A little while ago, I met with David, the District Manager of Central Ave SID on Central Ave, to tour this awesome shopping and eats destination in The Heights. Before hitting the stores, we met at Rumba’s Cafe for some breakfast/lunch. Rumba’s Cafe is a cuban style no frills diner. When I walked in, I felt like I […]
