Holiday Season in Jersey City
Have you gotten your fill of holiday cheer yet? Of course not! Now is the best time to put on your puffer jacket and a warm hat and head out there to explore everything that Jersey City offers. And there's no better vantage point to experience all the merriment, decorations, and shopping in JC than from the Journal Square apartments at 55 Jordan.
Located in a newly fashionable neighborhood filled with bars and unlimited transit options (the PATH train will take you to Manhattan in 10 minutes), these Jersey City luxury apartments for rent are the ultimate in convenience. For culinary and cultural connoisseurs as well as commuters, 55 Jordan serves as a stylish design-focused home base.
With well-appointed interiors and amenities, like a doorman, state-of-the-art gym, and on-site coworker spaces, you may be tempted to keep your festivities at home. But the holidays only happen once a year, and Jersey City really knows how to celebrate. So, let's explore everything to see and do before the holidays are over.
Jersey City Nutcracker
Tchaikovsky's classical ballet is as much a part of the holidays as twinkling lights and exchanging gifts. Chances are you've seen some version of it, whether the annual showing of the stage production on television or in movies like Disney's Fantasia. You, however, have never seen a version of The Nutcracker like this one. Jersey City Nutcracker is a reimagined and delightful take on the original that is set in Jersey City itself. Utilizing stunning sets, magical animation, and world-class choreography, the Nimbus Dance company and many local artists take the audience on an unconventional and highly entertaining journey.
Shop!
If you're in search of the perfect gift for a friend or family member—or simply looking for something for you—take a shopping tour around Jersey City. Everyone from high-end fashionistas to sneakerheads loves the sartorial choices. For almost a decade, Mint Market has curated both contemporary and vintage fashions. The early aughts are back in a big way, so maybe a pair of low-rise jeans for under the tree? Part home goods store, part boutique, Kanibal & Co. has an eclectic selection of one-of-a-kind finds. For everything else, take a 7-minute drive to Newport Center, an indoor shopping center with stores like Sephora, Coach, and Zara.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
There's nothing like an après-shopping or post-ballet cocktail to warm your soul in this cold weather, especially during this time of year when establishments go all-out on decor and drinks! For a garland-festooned and ornament-filled dining experience, Franklin on Mercer is the spot. This version of a traditional tavern serves mouthwatering pub food year-round. During the holidays until December 31st, they host an over-the-top pop-up called Miracle on Mercer. So, wear a comfy holiday sweater and join them for some deviled eggs and a Christmapolitan cocktail. Don't forget to pick up a holiday-themed glass to add to your drinkware collection.
