While I was living in NYC, I often found myself hopping over to Jersey City for a change of pace—and honestly, the food scene there quickly won me over. I had the chance to dine at some incredible local spots, and each one offered something a little different. If you’re looking for great flavors, welcoming vibes, and a few hidden gems, here are my Jersey City favorites.
