When it comes to sprucing up the streetscape, Hoboken is following the timeless adage of something old, something new. An old Belgian block street is being restored, and a drain mural competition is underway in celebration of Earth Day. Let's take a look at some of the murals.

The network is planning to film at a Jersey City storefront as part of an upcoming series.

The hulking, four-building industrial complex at 154 Avenue E was converted into the SilkLofts rental complex in 2014. But before that, the building facilitated the manufacturing of everything from the modern bra to military parachutes and carrier pigeon vests. Last night, a homecoming of sorts was held to commemorate the building's history.

White Eagle Hall has hired a seasoned NYC talent buyer who has already secured a solid line-up this summer and fall, including New Found Glory.

Café Alyce has begun a Friday night dining service with a menu that draws inspiration from the history of Jersey City.

The question of why the Loew's Journal Square has been unable to undergo a Kings Theater (Brooklyn) style full renovation under the Fulop administration (or prior administrations) and become a cultural destination with more jobs and year-round programming, is a complex one. We caught up with Friends of Loew's to get the scoop.

Weekend Walks is our weekend column where we explore the photographic beauty of various neighborhoods through the lenses of history, architecture and commerce. For this weekend’s walk, we took a stroll through Downtown Hoboken.

A gold painted shipping container has landed in the middle of Military Park in Downtown Newark. Dubbed a 'portal' the container is part of a global art initiative by Shared Studios.

Even short city escapes have worthy benefits—like returning with wider eyes and perhaps a souvenir in tow, or at least a little beach in your hair. Asbury Park, one of the closest shore points to Jersey City (clocking in at an hour away and skipping most shore Parkway traffic), has become an ideal destination for such a spell.

Art House Productions’ building at 136 Magnolia Avenue has been fenced off for a while now and will be torn down, but concerned Journal Square residents can rest assured--AHP will relocate to Cast Iron Lofts.
