A Look at Jersey Girls Food Tours
*Full Disclosure - my ticket was complimentary, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not asked to post a review in exchange for coming on the tour*
Recently, I was invited to join Jersey Girls Food Tours on a downtown Jersey City tour. If you're not familiar with Jersey Girls Food Tours, it's a Jersey City-based company that organizes food tasting tours in Jersey City and throughout New Jersey. I'd been on a tour a few years ago when they first started up, but over time they've grown and modified the structure of the tours, so it felt like a brand new experience. The concept behind the tours is to offer attendees a chance to try a bite or two at every spot while learning a little more about that particular restaurant, the chefs, and to give everyone chance to get to know more about the story behind the restaurant and the food.

What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in
the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next
four years?
Jersey City has
really made a name for itself in the time I’ve lived here--especially downtown.
But even with our growth, there is still a real small-town feel--everybody
knows everybody. The events in the park--Six-Ward dinners, neighborhood
festivals, movie nights--have strengthened communities.

four years?
I’ve lived in Paulus
Hook since 2004, at that time the only residential high rise in downtown,
outside of Newport, was Portside Towers. So the number one difference from 2004
is the amount of high-rise living.

What are some of the changes you've seen in
Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to
see in the next four years?
Jersey City
has changed tremendously since I was a kid. It seems almost unbelievable
now, but Downtown used to be a pretty rough area. Greenville, where I grew up,
was a safe and thriving middle class neighborhood. Journal Square was once a
bustling transportation hub surrounded by grand movie houses and high-end
shopping.

What are some of
the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What
changes would you like to see in the next four years?
The sense of community that made me fall in love with
downtown JC remains, but so many residents talk to me about their worries that
it will be lost. Many lose sleep over Newark Ave turning into a second Hoboken;
waterfront towers that are built to keep their residents inside them and
outside of our neighborhoods; and the displacement of the Latino community.

What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?
As the only candidate that is from Jersey City the answer is A
LOT. In the past 37 years there is little about Jersey City that hasn’t
changed. More development, more parks, more people. Jersey City
wasn’t always a place people wanted to be and now it is arguably one of the
best mid-sized cities in the country. A lot has been accomplished.
That being said, with change and growth comes new challenges and over the next
four years, my hope is to be elected as Councilman to help try to solve them. For instance, I think we need to work alongside developers to get better
give backs for our community. We need more schools especially in Downtown
where overcrowding is becoming more of an issue. We also need to work
alongside other local and statewide elected officials to demand the Port
Authority actually service the needs of Jersey City, Harrison, and Newark. We need to work on pedestrian and street safety and implement a Vision Zero
plan that will eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. It is
also important to focus on basic quality of life issues and real change that we
can effectuate on the local level. We'll also need to work through the
reval.

What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?
I moved to Downtown Jersey City in 2005, the day after I graduated from Montclair State University. My first apartment was in the Village. The walk down Newark Avenue has changed dramatically since then. When I moved here I almost exclusively met friends in the city on the weekends. Now, friends from the city come to meet me here and we hang out at any of the great places along Newark Avenue.
