Happenings at Harborside
So. Lots of us work and live local, and as such we may have historically experienced the Jersey City waterfront as pretty much a transportation gateway – its’ fascinating historic and scenic importance notwithstanding. That said, it’s so, so different now. Under the invested eye of Mack-Cali CEO Mike DeMarco, a guy born and raised in Jersey City, Harborside is now a destination in itself. If you haven’t checked it out recently, here’s the deal.

District Kitchen
JC’s rep as a destination place for tri-state foodies to eat is well served here. 13 of the best local restaurants are bringing it! District Kitchen is currently open weekdays 7am to 7pm

DRINKING
Adjacent to Harborside’s District Kitchen, and accessible from the Atrium and via street level, Manny’s District Lounge mixes up memorable cocktails in a moody, industrial setting enlivened by art installations, ping pong tables and VIP lounge areas.
A menu of signature drinks incorporates local spirits from Misunderstood Whiskey and Corgi Distillery, along with cold brew from Mod Cup Coffee; local beers are available on tap or by the bottle. Open from Wednesday to Saturday evening, it’s the ideal spot to get your night started – or close it out.
