7 Reasons Why Downtown JC is NYC's Best Waterfront Neighborhood
7 Reasons Why Downtown Jersey City is New York City’s Best Waterfront Neighborhood (courtesy of Jersey Digs):
1) Quick to Manhattan: Practically speaking, Jersey City is an extension of Manhattan. The PATH is a 30-minute commute to Midtown, but the new Harborside ferry is even faster: a 15 minute NY Waterway to Midtown and 8 minutes to Brookfield Place downtown.
2) Views: It also features views of the Hudson side of the Manhattan skyline — especially awe-inspiring while walking, running, or biking on the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, a well-lit space that stretches for 18 miles.
3) Top-rated chow and spirits: There’s Piggyback Bar, owned by famed Chef Leah Cohen and husband/partner Ben Byruch; award-winning Razza, known for its pizza; the Brownstone Diner and Pancake Factory, known for its all-day breakfast in a retro setting; Lutze beer garden; new American comfort food at Amelia’s Bistro; designer cocktails and refuge at The Archer, and plenty of fun tasting festivals.
4) Shopping: There is a terrific mix of specialty boutiques all over the city, particularly along Grove Street and Newark Avenue, featuring Tia’s, Kanibal & Co., and Mint Market — and multiple farmer’s markets throughout the city. Of course, a major perk is the Newport Centre Mall — 1.2 million square feet of retail with 130 stores, including Macy’s, H&M, Sephora and an 11-screen AMC movie theater.
5) Walkability: The Art House is located in the heart of it all. Set off on foot, grab a Citi Bike, or Uber when it's right. Everything is within minutes of your apartment making it easy to enjoy multiple neighborhoods during your stay
6) Art and music: There’s the Jersey City Ballet and Jersey City Theater Center; the Historic Downtown Special Improvement District’s Groove on Grove, which features musicians and performers every Wednesday night in the summer at the PATH plaza; the All About Downtown Street Fair, which draws more than 30,000 people in September, and the Novado Art Gallery
7) Luxury Living: Take a stroll through Jersey City and see the abundance of inspiring architecture -- both traditional townhomes and new developments, right next to you and NYC view across the river.
