Jersey City Puerto Rican Festival, Part Two
If you missed any of the Puerto Rican festivities this weekend, you definitely missed a party. I stopped by Exchange Place this past Saturday to see what would be in store. I went in search of one of my favorite Puerto Rican dishes, Pernil! All I can say is wow! It […]

Dinner at Laico’s
A childhood favorite of mine is Laico’s and they have been a Greenville staple for over 40 years! Despite its age, it is arguably one of Jersey City’s best kept secrets – a culinary speakeasy of sorts. But what Laico’s seemingly lacks in prominence, it makes up with its legendary service and mouthwatering food. Hidden […]
Jersey Girls Food Tour
Over the weekend I got to hang out with Alessia and Janis from the Jersey Girls Food Tours and I got to explore some restaurants Downtown. Being that I’ve lived here my entire life I’ve only now begun to challenge my palette with new and exciting foods. Jersey City has over 100 different restaurants and […]

We’re halfway through July and the events keep pouring in. If you’ve spent most of your time working and trying to get on top of things, take a break. There are so many events going on this weekend that one is bound to be calling your name. While some are recurring, there are single-time events […]
Mini Weekend Roundup
I ended up eating amazing gelato today. My taste buds felt like they were running through golden fields of awesomeness, along with the children who were laughing on the Ferris wheel and the families mingling to the sounds and vocals of Kiwi. This weekend, Lynn and I split about seven events right down the middle—this […]
O’Leary’s Publik House
Anyone who asks me “What’s your favorite interview?” I alway say “The Pride of the Fourth Battalion“, a post about Jersey City firefighters that went up as a tribute on 9/11. Those few hours I spent with Battalion 4 at Engine 9 and hearing their stories changed my life. Ever since that post I realized […]
ChicpeaJC Turns One – Party Time
Last Friday ChicpeaJC turned one. It was the most insane/emotional/overwhelming day since I started my blogging career…I started my day at 5am and waited with much anticipation to post an interview I’ve been waiting for since I started; My article about Mayor Steven Fulop. After it was shared on social media and the storm had […]
The Brightside Tavern – Jersey City’s Cheers
Tom Parisi aka Tommy 2 Scoops is the most loved man in Jersey City. I heard about him many months ago when I started blogging. People in the community would tell me how friendly and hilarious he is so I knew it would be only a matter of time before we crossed paths. At the […]
ChicpeaTV Episode 3
Here it is, Episode 3! The first two were centered around food and hot chicks, this time we wanted to do something a little different. Nizz Sentine and Vincent The Owl are rappers and best friends, and they are hilarious! They are definitely the funniest guys I’ve ever interviewed. I knew that doing an episode with them […]
The Bar at Union Republic
Union Republic was my second ever “Eats” post when I started ChicpeaJC. I will honestly say this, completely on the record, that UR is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. Their food satisfies all my cravings; If I am looking for something light to eat I will have one of their seasonal salads, […]
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 […]
The Warehouse Cafe
The past couple of weeks I have been going to The Warehouse Cafe in Jersey City to write, work and drink really great coffee. The first thing I need to note is that they have Almond Milk, meaning if you are a vegan (wannabe) like myself and try to stay away from soy products, you […]
