Job Search In Jersey City

Lately, I've noticed a lot of restaurants and market vendors in Jersey City putting up posts that they're looking for extra staff and help so I decided to do a quick round-up of the job postings. If you're interested in learning the ropes of vending at a market or of working in a restaurant, or if you're experienced and looking for a change, check these out!

Taproot Organics, local organic soap makers, are looking for someone to help them out at the markets around town. Ideally, someone with restaurant or acting experience who is comfortable discussing the products, happily social, willing to work rain or shine, and has a reliable means of transportation. If interested, please DM them on twitter.

Food Truck Saturdays

This Saturday, several of Jersey City's food trucks will gather together and park at the 318-328 Newark Avenue lot (between 4th and 5th Street) for the first time to officially launch the JC Food Truck Rally, anticipated to run every Saturday.

Market Season Begins!

It's Farmers' Market season in Jersey City! This weekend, Van Vorst Park and Riverview Market are kicking off the first Farmers' Markets of the season.

The market at Van Vorst starts Saturday morning at 8:30am and will run until about 3pm. This year, they're anticipating having their regular farmers with fresh produces, eggs, cheese, flowers, honey, and more as well as Hoboken Farms with lots of prepared specialties and breads, and X-Calibur for all your knife sharpening needs and they'll be welcoming O'LaLa Empanadas, a specialty high-end meat supplier, Bucket & Bay gelato, specialty pickle and olive oil vendors, and a fresh juice stand along with much more. Spending Saturday morning wandering through the beautiful Van Vorst Park is a great way to enjoy the weekend - especially with some modcup, another vendor at the market, in hand.

Carrino Provisions Officially Open!

Event Recap: Jersey City Project: Market

Yesterday was the much anticipated Holiday Market presented by the Jersey City Project and Yelp and Jersey City turned out in full force for the occasion! There were tons of people, lots of great stands and creative gift items around and of course, some delicious food.

The variety and creativity on display was astounding with everything from imprinted goods from Nightingale Project to soaps and cars from Smith and Chang while Kanibal Home brought out some beautiful antique jewelry.
