JOURNAL SQUARE

Anchored by its namesake Journal Square on Kennedy Boulevard, Journal Square offers shopping, dining and theaters galore. The architecture is a mix of single-family homes, historic properties, and condos. Sprawling for 270 acres, Lincoln Park is one of Jersey City’s largest green spaces. If you love living an active lifestyle, try scoping out their various public sports courts, go for a walk around the lake, or bring your furry friend for some off-leash play. In the summer, Lincoln Park has outdoor yoga and a farmers market. Though it was once a tobacco warehouse, Mana Contemporary has since transformed into one of Hudson County’s coolest museums. Visitors can roam through various exhibitions, chat with artists in residence, or even attend one of Mana’s countless year-round events. You’ll have no trouble finding fun in Journal Square. If you’re looking for recommendations, start by checking out the historic beauty of the Stanley Theater and The Landmark Lowe’s movie palace. Locals also love picking up local produce from the JSQ Farmers Market and savoring cuisine from EggMania or Philippine Bread House.
