Adorable and massively underrated, this place is cozy, romantic, and most importantly - has a great food and wine list.

Words can't express how much we love this place! We're huge fans of the laid-back European vibe and timeless décor.
Satis Bistro
This new Korean-fusion spot is home to some of the best food in Jersey City. Everything we've tried on the menu is fantastic and the seasonal cocktails are always fun to try!
ONDO Jersey City

The Jersey City outpost of this NYC institution does not disappoint! Look no further for the best sushi and Japanese staples in JC!
DOMODOMO Jersey City

When we're craving great ramen, there's no place we'd rather go than Ahri's. Plus, it's BYOB so you can really get creative with wine pairings!
Ahri's Kitchen
This BBQ spot has some great down-home vegetarian options and an all-American vibe. Great outdoor area for the summer as well!
Hamilton Pork
Jersey City is no stranger to fantastic Indian food but this one is our absolute favorite. Authentic, delicious - and more than willing to adjust spice levels as needed if you can't take the heat.
Rasoi

A local New Jersey chain, this imaginative Mexican restaurant mixes up traditional flavors with fun combinations.
Tacoria
This speakeasy-style restaurant and bar has reinvented itself a few times over the years, but the current iteration has some great, authentic French food. Get the profiteroles for dessert - you won't regret it.
Madame
Our go-to spot for brunch! This place is great and has some solid breakfast and lunch options for a slow, casual weekend.
Mathews Food & Drink
A JC institution! Great spot for the best pizza in town, plus delicious apps and a wonderful drinks menu.
Razza
Museums & Attractions
Jersey City doesn't have a huge music or theater scene yet but White Eagle Hall is always putting on a show. From cover bands to string quartets, we often switch date night up with a show here!
White Eagle Hall Jersey City
New to the community, Arthouse Productions is small but mighty, with a rotating list of gallery exhibits, concerts, and dance from local artists.
Art House Productions
The best views of NYC? They're here in Jersey City. Liberty State Park is one of our favorite weekend haunts - we bring the pup and let him run to his heart's content in the open green!
Liberty State Park
Immaculately well-maintained with beautiful running and biking paths, this massive park is a great place to go for a run together or to take the dog on a walk.
Lincoln Park
Bars
This place is a Jersey City institution and it's easy to see why. Amazing food, creative and exciting cocktails, and a fun vibe. Lines are long on the weekend but during the week it's the perfect place to grab a drink and unwind.

Talk about creative: Pet Shop is one of the most unique bars in the area. It's rock and roll (with live music every week!) meets vegetarian bar food meets great cocktails.
