A tiny gem of a candy store--delicious homemade chocolates, gift baskets, cookies, and other treats. Family owned since the 1940s and still going strong!

Everything Else

This is the rental car place we always use--they'll even pick you up and drop you off! They have the most competitive prices in the area. Only complaint: they are closed Sundays.

Live organ music played before every movie!! This is the jewel of Journal Square--a truly spectacular landmark that was saved from the wrecking ball in the 1980s. See their website for movie listings.

We love this little family-owned produce store a few blocks from our building. The fruits and veggies are incredibly fresh and always priced lower than anywhere else in the neighborhood.

Sightseeing

Nearby Lincoln Park (a 5-min walk from our apartment) is great for jogging, feeding the ducks on the pond, or just reading on a park bench. Safe and well maintained. Beautiful in winter after a snow.

Food Scene

Very conveniently located, and extremely nice people. We find the soups to be too salty, but the sandwiches are great!

Drinks & Nightlife

This completely unmarked bar is a neighborhood treasure. Good beer and hard cider on tap, and the best hamburgers and BLTs in Jersey City! Look for the building with wooden siding and no sign.
