holly jolly Jersey City

 December in Jersey City is magical.  The rowhouses are decorated with wreaths on every window and real evergreen garland covering the gates and handrails.  It is truly beautiful and extremely festive to see everyone go all-out for the holidays.

Downtown also gets in on the holiday action with jolly store fronts and a few decorated Christmas trees throughout the most populated areas.

And don't forget all the wonderfully festive Jersey City Parks. Favorites this time of year include the Hamilton Park Santa Farmers Market, Exchange Place, and the Newport waterfront.

Last but not least, our top picks for holiday magic in Jersey City, are the holiday pop up restaurants where the cocktails are served in reindeer mugs and the walls are covered in wrapping paper.  The music is Christmas carols on repeat and the food is phenomenal.  Our favorites are Sleighs and Leighs at Cellar 335 and Miracle on Mercer at Franklin Social.

Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year.
