A few weeks ago after my tour of local JSQ businesses supporting the Egyptian Festival (which is happening this Saturday) and then dinner at The Marina Seafood Restaurant with Ahmed Shedeed. I wanted to learn more about the Egyptian community in Jersey City. The first person that came to mind, was Ramy Eid, the first […]
Harmonica Sunbeam
Harmonica Sunbeam has been on my radar ever since I did a full week of posts dedicated to the LGBTQ festivities in Jersey City. Eddie Baez, the man behind “Gayborhood”, a social group for our LGBTQ community said to me over coffee, “Wait till you meet THE Harmonica and see her perform”. A few days […]
Jersey City 70s Summer Styles
When I started ChicpeaJC over a year ago, I was going to focus most of my writing around fashion and stylish people. If you look back at some of my firsts posts, they were all about “what I am wearing” and stylish people….then this blog just morphed into an all-encompassing culture blog, covering everything from […]
Pat Byrne
Shot by Greg Pallante Pat Byrne is a natural-born entertainer. I first heard about him after seeing some buzz online about his DIY Variety Show Prove it All Night live from WFMU‘s Monty Hall. I’ve always been a huge fan of late night talk shows and when I heard Jersey City had its own, I […]
Sasha
Sasha is the last (but not least), of the Balance Salon “Stylish Peep” edition and she is a total babe! She seems a little quiet and reserved in comparison to the rest of the Balance crew but definitely has her own rock n roll style going on. I know many Jersey City “stylish peeps” that […]
Dancing Tony – Rock-it Docket
On Friday, I celebrated ChicpeaJC’s one year anniversary with the biggest post of my blogging career; my interview with Mayor Steven Fulop. The day after the post, I thought to myself “Who/what would be a worthy post to follow the Mayor?!” and right away I thought about the guy who “runs fun” in Jersey City: […]
50 Shades of Borscht
Tomorrow night I will be going to the “All Points Borscht Presents, Fifty Shades of Borscht” an evening of comedy to benefit Temple Beth-EL a beautiful synagogue on Kennedy blvd. I reached out to comedian and local JC funny man Phil Rivo to meet me at Beechwood for coffee to get the background story. Phil […]
Christian Bonez
A few weeks ago I put a post up on my social media asking “Who is my next Jersey City stylish peep?” and someone tagged Christian Bonez. Christian is a cross between Michael Jackson circa “Thriller” and Edward Scissorhands. He has a one of a kind style so naturally I wanted to feature him as […]
Patrick Bucket Rogers
Patrick Rogers is the newest addition to the Balance Salon family and he fits in so perfectly! He invited me to sit in his chair and we got to chat while he styled me. Patrick is a character and he his hysterical! I feel like he would be the perfect person to go to Luckys with […]
DJ Robcast
I met DJ Robcast at the “I AM Inspired” panel I was a part of at Art House. He is best friends with Hayoner, stylish peep, entrepreneur and curator at the Sneaker Room on Central Ave. DJ Robcast is one stylish dude, I feel weird comparing him to a celebrity since he clearly has his […]
Elena Venetia
I spent a few hours good hours at Balance Salon because I wanted to get to know the whole team and really get a feel for the vibes and how everyone interacts with each other… I didn’t want to leave! In fact I asked Carla if I could get a job there….Anyway, Carla insisted I […]
Sneaker Styles
It’s been a while since my last fashion post, so I figured I would go easy on all my readers and keep it simple for this holiday Friday (passover/easter). As much as I love getting dolled up in a dress or a cute girly outfit, I am actually most comfortable in street wear. Growing up […]
Jen Twice
I first heard about “Jen Twice” when I interviewed Hayoner and Jeff from Sneaker Room. They had told me that Jen was the queen of all things sneakers and I knew it was only a matter of time before I got her as a “Stylish Peep”.. About a week ago I went back to visit the […]
Marlene Landauer
I’ve known Marlene for years now; we used to be neighbors after I moved to Jersey City. I remember seeing her and her husband David in the elevator and I would be in complete awe at how attractive they are…. You really don’t see people like that on a daily basis!! It was actually a […]
la vie en rose
A few weeks ago, I went to Jersey City Tattoos to interview and get tattooed by Adam Patterson, the owner and tattooer of this dope local tattoo spot. I got two pieces done; a bow which doesn’t really have any meaning behind it other than me just liking them because they are cute…. and a […]
Steven Santander
I first met Steven months ago at a JC Friday themed party at the E.Tittlemouse store. As soon as I laid eyes on him, it was like a neon sign lit up on top of his head with an arrow pointing down that said “Stylish Peep”. He stood out with his tailored suit, top hat […]
Designer Boyz
A few months ago, I heard about Designer Boyz…. I checked out a few of their YouTube videos and for a split second thought I was listening to an old Cash Money Millionaire record. I couldn’t believe they were from Jersey City. Generally speaking, there aren’t that many Hip Hop groups around, and to see […]
Zoey Ramone
Jess, aka Zoey Ramone, is a tattoo artist at Jersey City Tattoo and has tattooed some of the most stylish JC people; menswear fashion blogger Denny who also works at Another Man’s Treasure, Carla owner of Balance Salon (post coming soon), Kari my stylish peep and “girl crush and so many more… Jess is the ultimate babe, she […]
The Vintage Show
A week ago, on one of my many visits to my favorite Vintage Shop, Another Man’s Treasure. Meika and Warren my stylish friends and owners of this local business gave me a ticket to The Vintage Show. The Vintage show is vintage heaven, about 30 plus vendors from across the country bring their best vintage […]
Massiel Hernandez
It’s been a while since I did a post on a Jersey City “Stylish peep” which is essentially what ChicpeaJC was initially going to be centered around…fashioniable people. Massiel, a Jersey City native is an actress and plus size model….Massiel and I have been Facebook friends for a while, and the first thing I thought […]
