From a paella festival at Surf City to a “nerd” games night at PS Wine Bar — here’s the best of what’s going on in Jersey City this week.
Paella Fest at Surf City (Monday)
Paella Fest is back at Surf City. Enjoy 10 different paella dishes from a Lobster Paella (pictured) to a Vegetable Paella. The Spanish rice dish is served in a traditional paella pan that can feed two or three people. All of the paella dishes (with the exception of two) are priced at $24.95. There’s also a Classic Paella ($34.95, clams/mussels/squid/shrimp/octopus) and an Arroz con Leche “dessert” Paella ($19.95). The paella menu will be available through Sunday, August 26.
Ghostbusters at J. Owen Grundy Pier (Monday)
Who you gonna call? Tonight’s Movies in the Park features a free screening of Ghostbusters at the J. Owen Grundy Pier (next to the Exchange Place station).
Jungle Boogie at LITM (Tuesday)
Get a jump start on the Pride festivities with Jungle Boogie — a JC Pride dance party open to everyone who loves good music, dancing, and drinks.
Music at the Fountain at Lincoln Park (Wednesday)
Music at the Fountain returns with a free performance by The Bottomless Mimosas — a local band that’s part bluesy and somewhat loungey. The family-friendly event runs from 7pm to 9pm.
Nerd Night at PS Wine Bar (Wednesday)
Get ready for a night of your favorite nerd games at PS Wine Bar. The night’s list of games includes Dungeons & Dragons so far with more games to come.
