Over the past year, I've had some fantastic dishes and culinary experiences in Jersey City. There have been new places, new menus, and a huge surge in community and outdoor markets. The food culture has grown by leaps and bounds and I, for one, am incredibly glad to have been able to enjoy it.
As you may or may not have noticed, I generally try to avoid ranking places or calling anything "the best". However, I do have many favorites or meals and experiences I consider special and note-worthy for a variety of reasons so I thought the best way to mark one year of talking about food in Jersey City would be to show some of my favorite things I've eaten in Jersey City over the past year. Some I may have posted before; others may not have been. Please note, except for the final item, these aren't in any particular order.
The cold brew coffee from ModCup - I've always been one of those people who really enjoy the taste of coffee but ModCup really impressed me with how delicious their coffee is, especially their cold brew. Their dedication and passion for bringing incredibly fresh coffee to the public is evident in the flavor of every single cup.
There are a lot of things to love at Andrea Salumeria in Jersey City Heights. Their sandwiches are amazing and while it might seem like sacrilege to not name one of their sandwiches filled with their delicious specialty cold cuts, my favorite so far is Pete's Special Tuna. Not only is it my favorite there, it's one of my favorite sandwiches ever. Made with mayo AND oil and vinegar, peppers, oregano, salt and pepper, lettuce and tomato on fresh, nicely chewy bread , it just completely blew away my expectations of what a tuna sandwich could be. It's also giant.
