Here’s our guide to Jersey City’s best street food markets.

Project Eats

Jersey City’s non-profit foundation, The Jersey City Project, holds their most delicious event every year called Project Eats. With a name like that, it’s everything you want and more—from gourmet food vendors and trucks to four hand-picked beverage bars to whet your whistle while you munch. It only happens for one weekend in the summer, so you better make sure you’re there. This food-centric festival brings together all the best eateries in Jersey City in one place.

1. The Journal Square Green Market

Market

For over 20 years, the Journal Square Greenmarket has been a weekly staple for locals. Although this isn’t a special event, a good farmer’s market lives at the heart of every great neighborhood, and this one is no exception. Dealing out fresh fruits and veggies as well as homemade goods such as empanadas, mozzarella, and even fresh fish, you’ll always score a good market haul here.
