“Going up on a Tuesday”…. Since that song came out, I’ve been dying to say it and actually mean it. A few weeks ago while visiting Faded Royalty; “Stylish peep”, DJ Alaska invited me to their first live show event in Manhattan, “Screw York” at Arlene’s Grocery in the LES. Normally I don’t cover events outside […]
Annelise Collette
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 […]
Junestar, Mr. Blackman
I’ve been after Junestar since my interview with Stylish peep and musician Kieran Sullivan… Him and his wife (also a stylish peep) Mercedes told me Junestar is the ultimate “Stylish peep” and that he is also extremely talented. To my dismay he was nowhere to be found until a few weeks ago he returned to […]
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 […]
Crazy & The Brains
I found out about Crazy & The Brains after my interview with Verbal Phantom and Piss Mobb. Vincent “The Owl” told me to check them out and so I did…. I went home and internet stalked them. I remember being in my living room sitting on the couch with my iMac, I pressed play on […]

Chris is the lead singer and guitarist of punk band “Crazy & The Brains” (post coming soon) who I discovered after interviewing Verbal Phantom.

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 […]
Joshh Ayala – JC’s California Boy
Months ago, I started following Joshh on Instagram; I just loved his style, his cool gear and his adorable selfies… Upon further investigation I found out he just moved here from California and was also a musician.. So I asked him to be my next stylish peep! We met on the boardwalk by Exchange place […]
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 […]

Girl Crush alert!! I first laid my eyes on Kari at the WYLDLIFE/Wax Darts/Vomitface show at Lucky’s a few weeks back..

A Sound Start
I grew up most of my life outside of the US, and I always thought that American parents sometimes went a little overboard putting their babies into all these classes…. the baby just popped out of your lady bits, do you think he/she is ready to learn japanese?? I digress…. While pregnant with Mia I was […]

CHICpeaJC Weekend Roundup
Just spelling out the subtitle made me want to take a nap. Full disclosure, most of my weekends consist of going to Krank, running errands, doing mommy things and occasionally hit up a local restaurant to stuff my face and then in bed by 10pm. This weekend was quite the exception, I felt like I […]

Kieran Sullivan- JC’s Kool Kat
I first met Kieran with his wifey (and stylist) Mercedes at Roman nose in Jersey City a few weeks ago. Two words to describe him…. BAD ASS. He’s so f-ing cool! He is the type of guy every one wants to be friends with; super chill, laid back, but also really friendly and he is kind of […]
Timothy Ruiz- Rhythm & Style
I first saw Timothy, a local musician performing at Two Boots a few weeks ago. I was drinking beer, eating a vegan pizza (which was delicious btw) mingling with new JC friends and then he started singing…. I stopped short. His voice is so soulful and unique…. It’s truly amazing! It’s the kind of voice […]
