I live on my iPhone. It’s a really sad existence but it’s part of my life now as a blogger and social media addict. I do everything on my phone, I write notes for blog posts, I record audio during interviews, e-mail, take photos, Snapchat, I even use it as a mirror to make sure […]
How the Online World Has Made Us More Social
How the Online World Has Made Us More Social The world is getting more social. Despite what the technophobes and cynics might say, people are now more social than ever. While we might not talk on the phone or write letters in the way we used to, we talk more now than ever. Thanks to […]
Big Wake
We are living in a time where music is no longer just made up of guitars, drums, and bass. The explosion in popularity of EDM music and other genres rely heavily on electronics and it sometimes makes you miss the classic rock era and the bare bones stylings of bands such as The Allman Brothers […]

Get to know the Central Ave. Special Improvement District
It’s been almost a year since I first met David Diaz, the district manager for the Central Avenue Special Improvement District and since then we’ve made blogging magic. Our Lunches at Noodlefan, Rumba’s, Pizza Masters all pretty much broke the internet! and I had a blast exploring Central Ave with David. It was time for […]
ChicpeaNews
There is always so much going on in Jersey City, it’s so hard to keep up sometime!! I am a huge fan of “The Skimm” a daily newsletter which delivers an abbreviated version of the news… so I thought we would do the same for our readers. If you would like this to be ongoing […]
JLD Tax and Accounting
A few years ago (pre-chicpeajc), my parents who are entrepreneurs tried to convince me that I should leave my corporate job and open my own business. My response was “Hell no.” The thought of having to manage a business from the ground up sounded daunting and just plain crazy and now, well here I am, in […]
25 Senate Place
Jersey City is changing by the minute, and it’s no secret that living downtown is getting pretty pricey for most people, especially for those who would like to live in a luxury building with amenities. There’s a lot of attention being given to the Journal Square neighborhood lately and it’s growing as a residential destination […]

The 53 story building will deliver 538 luxury rental residences and is located right by the Journal Square path train. Well hello there Boulevard Drinks! A few of us rode up in the elevator along with the Mayor […]

NVRLand Productions
I interviewed Mackienzie King a few months ago about her life and clothing brand “Commonless Apparel”, and we clicked right away. Mackenzie wears many hats both literally and figuratively… not only does she own a clothing brand, she also owns a production company called NVRLand productions. Upon seeing some a few of the videos she […]
Little Movers Physical Therapy
Without being too descriptive, giving birth to “Mini-Chicpea” was both the most amazing experience in my life – and most painful. I suffered from a lot of physical issues that many women do after giving birth. I went to my OB-GYN for help, but there was nothing she could really do; she just told me to […]

GOLOKAL Launches at the All About Downtown Street Fair
A few days ago, I got an email from Elona, a Product Manager for GOLOKAL. She invited me over to their office to by Exchange Place to meet her team and hear their story. At first, I was reluctant to be honest because as someone from a tech background I know a lot about the […]
Citi Bike JC
It is no secret that biking is my preferred method of transportation; it’s good exercise, you don’t have to look for parking, and especially in urban areas it is, at most times, much easier and faster to get around. I bought “Bridgitte” as soon as I started ChicpeaJC and have been using it almost daily […]
“The One”
When you think about “The One,” you think about the love of your life, your soul mate, a person that completes you and someone you can spend the rest of your life with. You don’t really think about an apartment building… or at least I didn’t at first. Until I stepped into “The One.” I […]
