Guide to Project Eats

It's finally here. This weekend, The Jersey City Project and The City of Jersey City Present Project: Eats and there's an incredible line-up of vendors representing a wide variety of cuisines and eating styles.

To help you plan ahead (because it's almost impossible to try everything although I'm all for trying), I've put together the list of vendors with notes on what they'll be serving and if I've seen any specials announced.

Project Eats 2015 Vendors

In case you've missed the news, The Jersey City Project's Project Eats is this weekend! This year, they're expanding it to two days, both Saturday and Sunday from 11am-7pm (this means if you time it right, you can pretty much have every meal of the day here). Here's a quick look at last year's event.

Not only is this a great festival for all the best eats around, there's a special food-centric marketplace, highlighting some of the best small businesses and product vendors around.

Recapping Project Eats

This weekend, The Jersey City Project is presenting Project: Eats*, a TWO DAY event full of some of the best eats from vendors in Jersey City and beyond. There will be food stands, trucks, and other specialty vendors selling food-related items of all sorts.
