Time for Jersey City, After Dark

You know what a pubcrawl is, it's in the FuHo city charter BUT a Dishcrawl is coming to Jersey City

Without pubcrawls the economy of Hoboken would die off. That's great for them. However, Jersey City is holding a Dishcrawl which may intrigue folks with a more culinary interest. Dishcrawl is a San Francisco company that has chosen Jersey City to introduce their super fun evening out. So, how does it work? Let's find out:

Tuesday, April 2nd at 7:00PM a walking food tour of four Jersey City eateries will be held. Tickets must be purchased in advance, so get on that before your other fellow Jersey Citians beat you to it.

Tickets are a mere $45 dollars which includes all your restaurants. There are still a few tickets left. 

So Johnny, what could a San Francisco company know about the Jersey City food scene? A lot apparently:

A short sometimes cramped and bumpy ride on the PATH train, across the Hudson, into the Garden State's second-largest city, boasts New Jersey's best dining scene (sorry, Hoboken).

See there? The BEST Jerry, the BEST!

So which restaurants will you be attending? That's the secret. You'll be informed via email where to meet and where you'll get to go. Cool no? Now if you'd like hints as to where the dinners will be held you can follow @DishcrawlJC on Twitter.

Considerations will of course be made for vegetarian diets. Be there, Aloha!

Johnny heard some gossip tonight that the Taqueria Downtown is going to open back up any day now. Here's to that gossip being right.

Get your buckets and waders Jersey City, the shellfish are hatching!

Every early early early spring in the Garden State the shellfish hatch from the snowbanks of the season's last big snow. Johnny was out this morning and saw the first shellfish of the season. Gets those buckets and waders and start grabbing with both hands Chester!

Daylight Savings Time starts tonight at 2AM

So set your clocks ahead one hour at 2am and deprive yourself of an hour sleep because FARMERS!

Set your clocks ahead two hours if you really want to make a great impression at work Monday.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with CULTURE CLUB!

Your Uncle Johnny is a music encyclopedia he is. For many moons people have said that it is Alison Moyet singing backup on this Culture Club hit 'Church of the Poison Mind' but it isn't. The woman with the big voice is Helen Terry. This song is cool and all but it's also so 80's it makes Johnny want to put on leg warmers and drink a Bartles & Jaymes wine cooler.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with HOLE!

Whenever Johnny hears a song by Hole or sees Courtney Love on the teevee he always thinks of Mr. Mackey on South Park saying "Drugs are bad mmmmmmkay." But luckily for us Courtney holds it together long enough on this song, 'Violet', to make it good enough to make it into the Music Series.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ELMORE JAMES!

So, what were you doing in 1963? If you were cool like Elmore James you'd have been cutting this song in Quadrophonic sound, 'Hand in Hand'.

A snowy walk through the Powerhouse Arts District

What a pretty snow this morning friends, unless you were driving in it. Just a beautiful Friday morning in our fair city...
