Yours Immortally
I am the biggest wuss when it comes to horror movies, roller coasters, clowns and most importantly, dead things. When I heard about Antoinette and her taxidermy art business I was beyond curious to hear her story. We set up a time to meet at her studio in Jersey City which is right next door […]

Smith & Chang
Ever since we moved to Jersey City we’ve been hitting up Smith & Chang whenever we are in the Hamilton Park area. This beautiful general store is so wonderfully curated it reminds me of those shops you hit up when you go upstate (which I found out later was what they were going for). As […]

Beth & Cat
I’ve known Cat and Beth aka Lovey and Bubbala for quite some time now. What always struck me when I saw them was how in tune they were with each other. They are just the most amazing people, individually and together. When I met with Eddie to brainstorm ideas for pride week, I immediately mentioned […]
Gayborhood
A few months ago, Eddie from Gayborhood tweeted at me to tell me how much he loved my Virile themed week. After looking into Gayborhood, and seeing all the amazing things Eddie has been involved in, I reached out and pitched the idea of doing an LGBT Pride theme week on Chicpeajc. We met at […]
BBBS Bowling Event

Jersey City Art & Studio Tour

Bone-In
I’m a vegetarian….well I used to be before this interview… Prior to embarking on this journey called ChicpeaJC, I swore off all meat, at some point my diet was even vegan! I stopped eating meat for health reasons, I just did not like the way it made me feel. Ronald and Virginia, owners and taste […]

I’ve always been a hat collector but now that I am no longer working in the corporate world, I can essentially wear whatever the f-k I want so my collection has since quadrupled. Faded Royalty is a Jersey City born and bred brand that I discovered at Metro Capz at a recent interview. I was extremely […]
Fabian Roman
I go to baseball games for the beer, peanuts, the chance to heckle at random strangers and wear cute sporty outfits, but that’s as far as it goes! As I write this I am sitting on the couch watching the second game of the ALCS (Royals v. Baltimore – my husband told me!), but secretly wondering […]

modcup
Coffee. Oh how I love thee. I was first introduced to modcup at one of the Jersey City Street Fairs and I was in love. I normally dump half a LB of Splenda or sugar in my coffee to mask the bitterness but not with modcup; the coffee has this natural sweetness that I was able to […]
