Newport Swim and Fitness + Newport Skates
As many of you may know, I love the gym and love working out. It’s my therapy. Last week, we were given a tour of Newport Swim and Fitness Center and took a look at Newport Skates! As you can imagine, I was like a child in a candy store. With the temperatures dropping below […]
Modera Lofts
Photos by Andy Mac I’ve visited quite a few buildings since I started my blogging journey, but none of them were like Modera Lofts. They were all awesome, don’t get me wrong, but they were all new buildings that were built from scratch. Modera Lofts has a unique story behind it – it was redeveloped […]

Delta Storage
More and more people are choosing to live in urban areas as opposed to moving to the suburbs. The only issue is space. I think all of us who live in Jersey City in an apartment can attest to this “Where the heck do we put all our accumulated s*&t?” Ever since we had a […]
DRS Medical Associates

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.

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 […]
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 […]

The Brunswick Center- A Place of Wellness and Education
