Event Recap: Project Earth

This past Saturday was The Jersey City Project's first event of the year, Project: Earth, and it was fantastic! Besides giving me my first sunburn of the year (a sure sign of spring), the event also had tons of people, dozens of vendors from Jersey City and beyond, and lots and lots of delicious food.

Showcasing small and local businesses around Jersey City, the outdoor market had a heavy focus on earth-friendly items and products including organic bath items, reusable bags (I ended up picking up a pack of the produce ones), planting, and eco-friendly living, including a big Stop The Drop art project as part of the city's campaign against littering. These are just samples of everything that was there.

The White Meat Side of White Star

In the interest of full disclosure, I did not actually consume either of these chicken sandwiches at White Star that I'm about to talk about but I was there during the consumption and discussed them at length. I had a burger but I feel I covered those pretty well in my White Star delivery post so no need to rehash. It was still good, juicy and flavorful although once I saw the chicken sandwiches, I did experience some regret at not ordering one myself.
