LINCOLN PARK, JERSEY CITY
ITA ITALIAN KITCHEN
THERE’S SO MUCH TO LOVE ABOUT LIFE IN JERSEY CITY.
Its urban rhythm is grounded in its charming, neighborhood appeal, with a long history as the cultural center of Hudson County. At the crossroads of Journal Square, this youthful, funky sister neighborhood known as McGinley Square is filled with shops, restaurants and bars — with new places constantly on the scene. Popular spots include Rinconcito Copaneco, a popular hole-in-the-wall serving up tasty Honduras cuisine; Crema, a hip, artsy neighborhood coffee shop; ITA Italian Kitchen, a cozy place with delicious Italian fare; also sister restaurants Carvao BBQ, an open-pit barbecue joint and bar, and Taco Bar, a lively spot known for fun cocktails and tasty tacos; along with McGinley Square Pub, a hangout for local trendsetters; and so much more!
MANA CONTEMPORARY
Besides dining, the neighborhood’s energy also comes into focus with its emerging arts scene. Check out Mana Contemporary, an old tobacco warehouse that’s been converted into one of the tri-state area’s premier art destinations, with artist studios and exhibition spaces, home to Artfair 14, an international showcase that highlights local artists; and Drawing Rooms, an arts space with exhibition galleries and studios. Also, the 273.4-acre Lincoln Park, considered the jewel of the Hudson County Park system, is among the go-to destinations that give Jersey City its special character and appeal. And downtown Jersey City, with the waterfront and appealing pedestrian plaza, is quickly accessible, merely five minutes away.
JOURNAL SQUARE PATH
Easy access to Manhattan and elsewhere is nearby within 10 minutes to the Journal Square Transportation Center, with PATH train service into both Lower and Midtown Manhattan. The Transportation Center’s bus station provides bus service into New York City and many New Jersey locations, including Newark Liberty International Airport.
