Groove on Grove is officially back next Wednesday! and I am so beyond excited for this! Every Wednesday from Spring to Fall you will see me and mini chicpea rocking out right by the stage on Grove Street and Newark Ave. I wanted to get the background story on “GOG” so I reached out to […]
Spring Weekend Roundup
I can’t believe I wrote a whole paragraph as my subtitle for all the different events I got to attend this weekend, it was insane! Ever since launching the ChicpeaJC calendar I have been attempting to stay on top of all the fun things going on around Jersey City (which is pretty much impossible). There […]
Pacific Flea 2.0
Ever since my last Pacific Flea post, I’ve been counting the days till spring for it to re-open. My favorite activity is hitting up local markets…. there is fun for everyone; shopping, food, music. It’s the best!! Well this year the team behind the Pacific Flea; Joel, Brittany and owner of this establishment Stewart took […]
Breaking Grounds
I recently got a press release from a communications director, inviting me to a Groundbreaking of Phase I of a project which will ultimately bring two-residential towers and 900 luxury rental residences to the Liberty Harbor North neighborhood. I don’t really consider myself a “news person” but the fact that I was invited to this piqued […]
Wolf Juice Open Mic
Last night I went to check out the Wolf Juice Open Mic at The Dopeness, this was my third open mic. My first time was when I first started blogging and I left early because I was just too shy to be at an event on my own. Anyway, the second time I went, I […]
I AM Inspired
Inspired Artist Movement is a new organization that supports creatives in music and fashion and is run by a phenomenal human, vocalist and girl boss, MJ….who I interviewed on my first day as a full time blogger! She invited me to join a panel of experts to discuss the topic of “How to build a […]
Virile JC Turns 1!
A few weeks ago, bossman of Virile Barber & Shop Jersey City and a dear friend of mine, Andre Fersa reached out to me to let me know he will be throwing a special one year anniversary party at LITM. I immediately jumped at the opportunity and said to him let’s do a special one […]
AMT Spring Trunk Show!
Last week we got a taste of spring, so it’s only a matter of time till the weather warms up and we can bust out those cute summer dresses! Another Man’s Treasure threw a fun spring trunk show at their shop last night for the ladies! I got there around 8pm and the store was […]
“Sock Hop” Party
I love a reason to dress up, so I was so excited when I heard Union Republic was throwing a 1950’s style “Sock Hop” party in collaboration with my fav vintage shop, Another Man’s Treasure and party mogul Dancing Tony (post coming soon!). We got to Union Republic at around 9pm and the place was […]
Brunch Exchange
The concept of going to party on a Sunday normally does not appeal to me…. Usually by 4pm I am plastered on my couch in my jammies! A few months ago I learned about the “Brunch Exchange” through a social media friend and future stylish peep, Sonny Castillo. He told me it was a party […]
JC Fridays Roundup
It’s been a while since I attended any weekend festivities in Jersey City, and this weekend was jammed packed with events. I had a whole list of all the things I wanted to check out yet only made it to 10% of them. Can someone please clone me?! Another thing that did not help my […]
“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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
Top 10 Things to do on NYE in Jersey City
Disclaimer: I dislike NYE. The idea of spending hundreds of dollars to go somewhere that will be over crowded, not have any room to dance, and deal with wasted people does not sound like a good time. The past 4 years I’ve actually “missed” the New Year. I pass out by 11pm. I take joy […]
Jersey City Project Market
Woah. What a weekend! It’s Sunday night and I am passing out on my couch. I totally refuse to shut down until I recap this amazing weekend!! So Friday night was JC Friday’s which I usually am so adamant to cover; I was ready to go, cute outfit and “Rosy” in tow and then heard […]
The First Annual JC Youth Foundation Gala
This weekend we attended the 1rst Annual JC Youth Foundation Gala honoring Mayor Fulop at Mana Contemporary. My hubby and I got all dressed up; I wore my prettiest vintage dress from Another Man’s Treasure and he rocked his Asos suit and looked so dapper! It was a beautiful event with beautiful people supporting a […]
Jersey City: Halloween 2014
Past Halloween’s consisted of finding a last-minute costume, going somewhere for drinks and then being in bed by 11pm. After my big birthday/90’s dance party in July, DJ George Soul and I, immediately decided we should throw another party…. “80’s Halloween Prom”. This time we wanted to go bigger and better, so we teamed up […]

[…]
Pride Week Wrap up
Woah! what a week!! JC Studio tour and then a full week of celebrations leading up to the Pride Festival on Saturday. I was only able to attend two events; The flag raising at City Hall (which didn’t end up happening until the next day due to technical difficulties) and the Festival itself. Eddie, boss […]
