Make sure to support local this holiday weekend as many restaurants, cafes, and small businesses in Jersey City were hit hard by Tropical Storm Ida. These new financial losses are in addition to losses from the ongoing pandemic. Something as simple as a direct purchase, social media shout out, or a simple “thank you” can go a long way.
