🔥 Can’t Miss Dish

What: An Epic Build-Your-Own Burger

Where: Corkscrew

Why: It’s tough to find something as awesome as the burgers from Corkscrew that are made on a grill behind the bar! You have to try it with their Cajun Waffle Fries.

👀 A lokel’s View

Anthony Packwood, CEO & Co-Founder of OVO Vodka

❤️ Favorite local spot: It has to be Ed & Mary's. They have got a good happy hour, great vibes, and events.

🍔 Top Bite & Sip 🍷: My top bite right now is the Arroz Imperial (aka Cuban Lasagna) @ Rumba Cubana and my top sip is the Bootleg Drop, made with OVO Vodka, Midori, Fresh Lima Juice and Simple @ Boots & Bones.

🤔 Describe Your Perfect Day in JC: I get up early and walk with the family and grab our favorite breakfast sandwich at Scram. Then go to Hamilton Park to run with my dog. Of course have to stop in Ed & Mary's and say hi to the guys!

👀 Favorite Local Hidden Gem: Canopy Hotel has a really cool bar, cocktail menu, bites, and deck area. Great music and events and not a load of people know about it.

Did You Know? Jersey City has the largest planetarium in North America. The Liberty Science Center used a $5 million donation to convert the IMAX theater into the planetarium.
