Events in Jersey City



One of the things I love about Jersey City is that there's something for everyone, especially in the culinary world.

Of course, there's Hudson Restaurant Week which started earlier this week and will continue through next week. Restaurants all throughout Hudson County are offering special prix-fixe meals for you to enjoy.

Snowpocalypse or Whatever It's Called 2015: Who Is Open?

In all honesty, I don't recommend going out tonight and probably not tomorrow night either. It does not seem great outside and falling is embarassing.

BUT, if you forgot/willfully chose not to because eh, it's a hassle, to stock up before the storm, here's a list of what is confirmed open tonight and/or tomorrow in Jersey City.

UPDATED TUESDAY: Ok, so this blizzard didn't turn out to be a blizzard. It is still snowing outside, so hopefully you still get to enjoy a snow day. Jersey City is ready for you!

Taphaus: A Modern Beer Garden In Jersey City

       (view from right in front of Taphaus)

Walking into Taphaus for the first time, I immediately fired off a text to my friends saying "Oh god, this is my nightmare." But once I walked in another 4 feet or so, past the large crowd of overgrown frat boys concentrating on getting hammered, I began to experience an entirely different Taphaus - more beer garden then club and one I liked much better.

While waiting, I sat next to a middle-aged couple at the bar there to relax, then later had dinner a table away from a small group of women in their early twenties celebrating a birthday and amongst several other various groups of friends and dates. Luckily, Taphaus is large enough to accommodate a hugely mixed crowd successfully. With its long bar, communal seating, and smaller tables, there's a place for everyone to hang out and it's a nice change of pace from most Jersey City drinking establishments that tend to draw one type of crowd.
