A recent trip to the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers was a fun trip back in time to 19th Century Jersey City. The exhibit “Picturing Jersey City; Nineteenth-Century Views by August Will” is a treasure trove of visual history by one man on a mission.

As the month heads to a close, we wrap up our list of 23 things we are grateful for in Jersey City.

When it comes to Italian food, you know what they say. If it ain’t broke… We are grateful for you all!

As Phoebe’s proud owners we share her appreciation for the following: Our heroic animal organizations and volunteers, our dog parks, outdoor dining year-round, warm Weather Cocktails at Corgi Sprit and the Beach by the Colgate Sign.

The New Year begins with lots of buzzy motivational words and slogans being bandied about on social media. We are going with this one - 2023 is all about an Attitude of Gratitude.

Did you know that 40% of edible food in the U.S. is wasted, or the equivalent of a full midsize SUV every second. This contributes to 10% of all global greenhouse gas emissions and $1.2 trillion worth of food.

Nimbus Dance will offer 13 performances of the quirky and lovable adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s timeless classic, which takes place in Jersey City and weaves together themes of magic, adventure, family, and friendship.

In the mood to bake yet? In the spirit of the holidays, Colleen Christi Willet of Bread and Spoon is sharing one of her favorite recipes with us – her Gluten-Free PB & Chocolate Cookies.

Tis the season to get together and celebrate! As winter takes hold, the desire to get together and commune outside with friends and dogs does not dissipate, even after the seasonal glow of December fades into colder January and beyond.

There are so many places throughout New Jersey (including Jersey City) to pick up your holiday tree. You will find church lots aplenty here and in neighboring Hoboken offering trees of all kinds and sizes for sale.

Happy holidays, all! What a treat to see so many of you at our Client Appreciation Thanksgiving Pie Giveaway. So lovely to see friends and share our recent home renovation courtesy of our dear friend and brilliant interior designer, the Queens-born-and-raised and all-around-the-world fabulous Lorraine Liste.

We are officially in love with the work of Tara Kothari, a Jersey-City based artist who creates out of her studio at Mana Contemporary. A self-described botanical ceramicist and maker of whimsical pottery, we just adore her fun and clever themes.

This holiday season, we are committed to shopping small and local. This extends to online businesses too, where there are so many treasures to behold. LingChen Art, for one. The talented artist behind this Etsy shop makes gorgeous, detailed paintings recreating iconic images from NYC and Northern New Jersey.

Winter is around the corner and like many dogs we know, our Phoebe loves herself a good snowy frolic. But where this is snow, there is ice, and extreme cold temperatures can occur too. All pose a risk to our pooches’ optimal health and wellness.

Learning the craft of ceramics and pottery seemed to gain traction over relatively recent years. Perhaps as a reaction to so much screen time, there seemed to be a collective interest in getting crafty and hands on.
