People in Jersey City never cease to amaze me, the amount of talented people living and working here is really insane. I was asked recently if I would ever run out of things to write about, the answer is absolutely not!! Annelise Collette is one of those people; I’ve met her a few times out […]
Bed Bugs In love
It’s no surprise that I’ve become pretty obsessed with Jersey City’s street art and the artists behind them. What’s even more amazing to me, as I continue this journey is discovering that all these talents are everywhere among us; they are your bank tellers, Light Rail operators, dog walkers, teenage neighbor and barista at your favorite […]
Pat Massett
When Dennis from Damaged Wear and I decided to get together and work on a shirt line we thought it would be cool to have a design contest and involve local talented designers. The requirements were for the design to be retro Jersey City and to incorporate the Kiss icon I use in my logo […]
Pershing Field Styles
A few weeks ago I teamed up with artist and Jersey City aficionado Pat Massett (post coming soon!) to bring you the first edition of our Jersey City History and Fashion blog collaboration; The arch in Pershing field. After this post I was curious to find out more about the rest of the park; I […]

Chris is the lead singer and guitarist of punk band “Crazy & The Brains” (post coming soon) who I discovered after interviewing Verbal Phantom. I went to see them playing shortly after at Union Republic and took notice of Chris’s edgy punk style; Signature sailor hat, skinny jeans, torn tank, tattoos…He is definitely a stylish peep! […]
Chicpea does JC Friday’s
Last time I covered JC Friday’s I was only about a month into blogging about Jersey City so I was pretty clueless about all the cool people and things going on. Now after 130 posts on all the awesome people that make this city so freaking cool… JC Friday’s is actually THE most stressful evening […]
Verbal Phantom
I love all music but I am a hip hop head all the way. I had no clue when I started writing ChicpeaJC that there was such a vast Hip Hop scene just around the corner from me… so many talented artist I am discovering every day; Nizz Sentine, Lana Sez (all future posts) and […]
Robert Piersanti
Robert Piersanti needs no introduction. He is a Jersey City fixture, not only has he been a long time resident, but he paints the different characters that live here. You can also see his work at many different locations such as Two Boots, Grassroots and now The Dopeness. Bob Piersanti is a character himself; long […]
Mr AbiLLity
The day I made the decision to leave my job of 7 years to pursue my passions, on my way home I decided to take a little detour. I needed time to reflect, to think about my life and whether or not leaving my job was the right decision (I also really wanted an ice […]
Chris Zurich
One day I got a friend request on Facebook from Chris Zurich….That same night while riding my Bridgitte I heard someone yelling out “Hey, Chicpea”, and it was Chris! After chatting with him for 5 minutes I knew we would be friends, he is a super down to earth guy, with an adorable smile. A week […]
Roland Burks
A few months ago, I went to 660 Studios to interview some of the citizens of this weird arts space craft. While interviewing and checking the place out, I heard a faint voice singing opera. A few thoughts crossed my mind; a) Great now I am hearing voices, b) I really need to get some sleep, […]
Hulbert Waldroup
Every person I’ve interviewed has an amazing back story, and I always end up learning something new. Hulbert was no exception…A few weeks ago at a 6am Krank class I noticed this man….he kind of reminded me of a modern day Mr T. wearing a cowboy hat and he was lugging large paintings to his […]
660 Studios
I am going to be 100% honest here….I launched CHICpeaJC as a hobby, a fun side project where I could write about fashion and random shit about Jersey City. Now here is the thing, I knew there were awesome/stylish/talented people who lived here but I had no clue to what extent…. I started meeting people […]
