I am a fitness fiend and ever since I can remember I’ve been on a quest for that perfect tush. That is why for months now I’ve been waiting for The Sports Barre to open…. I met Jacey and Danielle a few months ago, and we had a fun boozy lunch at Marco and Pepe. They […]
Jersey Cycles
After lunch with David the District Manager of Central Ave SID at Noodlefan we went next door to Jersey Cycles to talk to Luca, bossman of the shop. After eating so well, I was tempted to grab a bike and take it out for a ride. This shop has everything you need if you are looking to get […]
Jersey City Tattoo
10 months ago, I led a seemingly normal life; I was a corporate working mom living a quiet laid back life…and then I had some sort of quarter-life crisis; I decided to start a blog (that would end up changing my life), and also get two new tattoos… I heard through different locals that JC Tattoos […]
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 […]
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 […]

New Bridge Laundry
When I lived in Manhattan I was frequently using wash and fold services because there was no washer and dryer in my building… that and I was a little spoiled. That being said, every month I would switch services because my clothes would come back ruined, brittle and smelling like s-t!! Many people in the […]
Sneaker Room
A few weeks ago I met with David, the District Manager of Central Ave SID to have lunch at Cafe Rumba (post coming soon) on Central Ave in The Heights. He was telling me about different cool stores that I should check out… namely Sneaker Room, the mecca for sneaker collectors. Sneaker Room has over […]
GreenPen Investments
I am a huge fan of all those house flipping shows; Seeing homes in crazy conditions get turned into amazing properties coupled with drama and interesting stories makes for my perfect night in. When I heard about GreenPen Investments I knew they would have some amazing stories to share! I first met Lorna for coffee […]
Sensory Kids LLC
I’ve walked by Sensory Kids many times, always with my toddler in tow, I would peak in and see so many happy children running around and playing and I really wanted to go in there and check the place out. I didn’t, because I thought Sensory Kids was predominantly for children with learning disabilities. I […]
A Staycation at Base NJ
As all moms can attest, it is very difficult to take time for ourselves…between work, appointments, groceries, daycare, entertaining the kids, cooking etc… it’s no surprise that moms end up burning out or freaking out! Which I sort of did… since I started ChicpeaJC I haven’t really taken any time for myself and I recently almost […]
Street Fame
Photography by Greg Pallante A few months ago I found the most stylish/bad ass female barber on Instagram; Lady Jaekutz who I wanted to be my next “Stylish Peep” and she so happens to work at Street Fame, a barbershop on Newark ave. It’s been a minute (a month) since my Virile Barbershop post which was […]
Republic of Pigtails
Growing up my mother would force me to wear matching hats or hair accessories with all my outfits, which I hated! To get back at her, I made a point to dress more like Eminem when I was a teen… which I sort of grew out of. These days, I have a collection of beautiful […]
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 […]
Faded Royalty
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 […]
Tribeca Grain
One day, out of the blue I get a phone call from John Gondevas boss man of The Hamilton Inn. Lynn “Hello?” John “I have a story for you….about my friend Joe Wood” Lynn “Cool!! A Jersey City porn star?!” Ok… so Joe Wood is not a porn star, he is actually the owner of […]
Damaged Wear & CHICpeaJC Collaboration!

Another Man’s Treasure
Photography by Greg Pallante It’s no secret by now that I do most of my shopping at Another Man’s Treasure. This week we got a peak into the lives of the owners of the shop The Franz’s and also a look at their showroom. Today its all about the shop! I must admit I probably […]
Another Man’s Treasure Showroom
Photography by Greg Pallante If you read the post about stylish family and owners of Another Man’s Treasure the Franz’s you know already that the store actually started in the location where they currently have their showroom on Brunswick street in Downtown Jersey city. Going to the store on Grove is an experience, however going […]
Modern Family Dentistry
Photographer: Greg Pallante When I think of going to the dentist I shudder. I remember when I was a kid living in Montreal, my parents would take me to this old scary dude that was not gentile AT ALL. Since then I’ve always had this fear of going to the dentist and until now haven’t […]
