Jersey City Events!

Even though the weather doesn't seem to realize we should slowly be creeping towards warmer temperatures and fewer layers, the heroic businesses of Jersey City do and there are lots of events over the next several days to get you out of your apartment and enjoy!

First off, today Barcade is celebrating NYC Craft Beer Week Jersey-style with the 2nd Annual Bridge and Tunnel Night! They will be featuring craft-brewed beers that you can't get in New York, beginning at 12pm.

Tomorrow at 10:30am, WORD will have their Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and will be giving out free cups of Stumptown coffee in celebration. It's a great time to check it out if you haven't already.

Then over the weekend, start your March with a bang (or at least lots of drinks).

Pint, co-hosting with Hudson Pride Connections Center, will be holding a Mardi Gras Party on Saturday with beads, boas, hurricanes, and much more!

Saturday marks the begninng of Mac N Cheese March Madness at Liberty House. So many days, so many varieties - I want them all. Seriously.

Cool Vines, a new wine and liquor store at 255 Grove Street near York, is holding their Grand Opening Party this weekend, Sat. March 1st-Sat, March 2nd. There will be wine and beer tastings, Portugese finger food, live music, and a vintage bike raffle!

On Sunday, March 2nd, you can head to WORD bookstore again for a free cupping and tasting event with Stumptown Coffe Roasters. They'll discuss different coffee regions and methods of brewing amongst other things.

Both White Star and 9th and Coles will be hosting Oscars parties Sunday evening so grab a ballot, mark your choices and kick back for a few drinks. Proceedds from White Star (it's a $10 suggested donation) will be going to help support the New York AIDS Walk and festivities begin at 6:30pm.

9th and Coles' party begins at 7pm and they will be giving the winner with the most correct categories a $100 bar tab! They'll also be extending the weekend with a Mardi Gras party on Tuesday, March 4th with lots of drink and food specials.
