Things To Do
Frankie
Our all-time favorite restaurant in Jersey City – and where we got engaged!
Subia’s
The best vegan food and desserts — try the Zen Garden sandwich, the carrot cake and the brownie!
Kanibal & Co.
One of our favorite local shops for unique and thoughtful gifts.
Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza
One of our favorite spots for date nights. Our wedding venue, Porta, is here, along with many of our favorite local restaurants, shops and bars. You’ll often find live music, farmer’s markets, pop-up shops and other events taking place here, too.
Gaia & Loki
Another one of our favorite vegan places – with the best burgers we’ve had!
One Dee Siam
Our favorite Thai restaurant and casual date night spot.
Liberty State Park
Isla’s favorite place to explore, and one of the best parts about living in Jersey City.
Van Vorst Park
A cute park right downtown, surrounded by beautiful brownstones — with a big dog run. We’d take Isla here every day when she was a puppy.
Hudson Point Marina
When we lived in Paulus Hook, we’d always walk with Isla along the waterfront here. There are beautiful views of the marinas, the harbor, Liberty State Park, the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline as you continue along the waterfront walkway.
Colgate Clock & The Waterfront
Stroll along the Hudson waterfront for beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline.
