National Doughnut Day 2018

Today is National Doughnut Day! Started as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army during the Great Depression and in honor of female volunteers who provided home-cooked meals and doughnuts to soldiers during World War 1, it has evolved into a day to celebrate doughnuts of all kinds.

Here are some ways to celebrate in Jersey City (including opportunities for free doughnuts):

Third & Vine Rosé Preview

The days have been getting longer and the temperatures have been slowly creeping up which means only one thing: it's time to break out the rose.  Tomorrow, Third & Vine is doing just that.

National Coffee Day

Free Coffee Alert!

Tomorrow (9/29) is National Coffee Day! To celebrate, 9 Bar Cafe will be giving out free 12 oz coffees to anyone who goes into the shop and shows the picture above.

If you haven't already been into 9 Bar, this is a great reason to go. It's one of my favorite coffee shops in Jersey City and they make excellent coffee (as well as some delicious bites to go with it).

Enjoy!
