Jersey City- Worth A Stop


Jersey City, NJ: A place that smells bad. Just kidding. It only smells bad in some spots. In other spots, the ones that are now priced so far out of most people's price ranges that there is more parking available due to abundant vacancies, is actually a beautiful place to live and eat and drink and walk puppies in. I only really know of the Hamilton Park area first hand, but I hear there are a few other small areas worth spending some time in. If you ever find yourself in the mood for some amazing, authentic** Italian food, then I strongly recommend dining at Porto Leggero. The food was unbeatable, and the room itself, while it may not be screaming authentic rusticity, it definitely screams "You wish you lived here!" If and when you do decide to give it a go, definitely order the porcini filled ravioli with white and black truffle sauce. Like you wouldn't have already been ordering that!

**I cannot fairly judge "authentic" Italian food, since I am neither well traveled or Italian.**
