Last week, we attended Zeppelin Hall's 10-year anniversary. Funny story: Zeppelin Hall had opened right after I moved to Jersey City, so it's fun to indirectly be a part of its growth. I'm there often, as my daughter's school holds their events there. It's a hub and community space for Jersey City. Good food, beer, casual vibes, family-friendly, what more could you ask for? … [Read more...]
