Jersey City Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving is coming up quickly so here's your guide on where to order your turkey, sides and desserts or where to simply make reservations in Jersey City. 

Eating At Home
If you're looking for a raw turkey to prep and cook yourself, there are a couple of good local options:

• Bone-In is offering two kinds of farm-fresh turkeys, a heritage breed for $8.50/lb and a broad-breasted for $7/lb. A $25 deposit is required which will be applied to the total cost of the turkey. They also have a variety of vegetables available for order.
• Moloney's Meat Market in Journal Square has fresh turkeys ranging in size from 9-34 lbs.

What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?

Jersey City has really made a name for itself in the time I’ve lived here--especially downtown. But even with our growth, there is still a real small-town feel--everybody knows everybody. The events in the park--Six-Ward dinners, neighborhood festivals, movie nights--have strengthened communities.
