Last week I joined David Diaz the District Manager of the Central Avenue Special Improvement district for our monthly “lunch date”. This time he took me to La Concha, a Spanish eatery located on Central Ave. a few blocks by Renato’s Pizza Masters. We were greeted by Berta, the owner/cook/mom/matriarch of this delicious food spot and […]
Renato’s Pizza Masters
Every month I have a standing lunch “date” with David Diaz the District Manager of the Central Avenue Special Improvement district. Normally David gives me a few choices of where to go eat, but at our last lunch at the Ecuadorian Bakery Angel Azul, I told him our next spot needs to be Renato’s Pizza […]
Marina Seafood Restaurant
The 10th Annual Egypt fest is happening Saturday, June 13th in the Journal Square plaza. A few weeks ago I met with Ahmed Shadeed, the brain behind this amazing yearly event to get the background scoop on all those in the community who are involved (post coming soon). While I was getting to know Ahmed Shadeed […]
Top 3 Burgers in Jersey City
May is national burger month and tomorrow is Memorial Day, which means almost everyone will be outside cooking up burgers, from the veggie kinds to the fancy ones. About a month ago, professional burger eater/connoisseur/writer Dave “Rev” Ciancio tweeted at me and said we should collaborate. We came up with the idea to have all […]
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 […]
Helen’s Pizza
Helen’s Pizza is a local favorite, a no frills food spot where you are guaranteed to leave with a full and happy tummy. It seems like there are over 100 pizza places all over Jersey City but there are only a handful of neighborhood spots where you can walk in and feel at home. A […]
Ibby’s Falafel
I am Israeli, and my nickname is “Chicpea” so when it comes to writing about a Falafel place I can be extremely biased. I’ve eaten at the best middle eastern restaurants in the world, and I happen to make the best home made hummus (recipe here!) you will ever taste and I stand by it! […]
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 […]
BROA
I’ve been waiting for this post to happen ever since I first interviewed Liz, girl boss and owner of Feena Boutique. I met Michael, owner and chef of Broa cafe that day while trying on the whole store… Broa cafe which is right underneath Feena was still under construction at that time…I became fast friends […]
Tea NJ
I recently went to TeaNJ to meet my new friend Dennis from Damaged Wear for lunch. For weeks I’ve been wanting to go try out their food! As some of you may know I try my best not to eat meat and TeaNJ is very vegan/vegetarian friendly (but they have plenty of options for carnivores […]
The Hamilton Inn
Ever since I moved to Jersey City 4 years ago, The Hamilton Inn has always been a staple restaurant that I either end up at or tell people to go to. It’s a place that you know you will have a great meal, a fun time, service with a smile, good drinks…. I can go on. […]
Barcade Jersey City
Jersey City is full of fun bars, restaurants and hangout spots…. but one of my favorites is Barcade. I don’t really go out that much, and when I do I usually like to hit the dance floor… but on those days where I want to just kick back with friends, drink yummy local beer and […]
Goods & Greens
Goods & Greens is an awesome spot, if I lived closer to the Hamilton Park area, I would pretty much eat and shop here everyday… or at least come say hi to Paul my new best friend. This post was at first intended to be the normal run of the mill “Eats” write-up about this […]
White Star Bar
Disclaimer: I am not a food critic, nor do I want to be! I love food and enjoy the act of eating at restaurants. Otherwise I don’t know shit about being a food critic. Everyone is a fucking food critic these days!! That being said, I will be posting about places I’ve eaten in JC […]
