Jersey City, New Jersey

The quarter of a million residents of Jersey City enjoy a vibrant lifestyle in an historic port city which overlooks lower Manhattan. While a busy port city, many financial and corporate offices have relocated here and the renewal efforts are considerable.

When starting the search for your Jersey City apartment, consider whether you want to own a car and where you'll park it. This is an urban area! Mass transportation is excellent both for the inner city and to Manhattan.

Art Mecca on the Hudson

With such wide scale gentrification, Jersey City has become a mecca for artists.The Jersey City Museum is an excellent venue for the hundreds of artists who live and work in the area. Famous Ellis Island actually resides within Jersey City town boundaries and everyone should go check for their ancestors!

The Hackensack Riverfront area gives a remarkable view of the bay and river, and is a great place to live or visit. You'll find plenty of smaller parks and recreational facilities sprinkled around town and with Manhattan a train ride away, you have major international cultural venues at your Jersey City apartment doorstep.

Lighthorse Nights

Eating out in Jersey City is an ethnic adventure. Ibby's Falafel is great eating and one of the few places that stays open late. The Fiesta Grill is the absolute best family Filipino food anywhere in the area. The king of little India is Rasoi and can put fancy Manhattan places to shame.

For good old American, the Lighthorse Tavern near the waterfront is wonderful. It's locally owned, a fun place and fantastic for meeting new people. For Italian, go where Italian families go on Sundays, Laico's. You'll be going back weekly too!

Your Lucky 7

Get out of your Jersey City apartment and check out some bars. Dive bars like Lucky 7 and Rolon's are famous for being busy, having cheap drinks and offering up friendly service. Lucky 7 also has live music some nights as does Liberty House. Go dancing to techno or rap at the Sandbar. Zeppllin Hall is a biergarten but is also a good night scene. You'll find it friendly and busy.
