Let’s face it: transplants to New York love to scoff at New Jersey. (Interestingly enough, I’ve noticed that native New Yorkers lack this prejudice.) Contrary to this popular stereotype, culture exists in the Garden State.
The JCLC will be handing out awards to homeowners, developers, and architects who have renovated or preserved historic property throughout Jersey City and to individuals who championed local history and culture through writing or activism. This year’s marquee honoree will be the novelist Richard Price.
A ticket—only $35—will get you a seat at the awards ceremony, a buffet dinner, drinks from an open bar, and a guided tour of the Loew’s. In addition to enjoying good company, you’ll be helping the JCLC with its local preservation goals and historical awareness efforts.
If you don’t have any plans, check it out. We’ll be there.
