Sunday Guides, Jersey City Edition

By Michele Rosenthal

For several years, we have been going to Bon Vivant in NYC for their Petit Fours. They are fabulously delicious! Soaked in a variety of flavors like rose, lavender, coffee, and lemon; they are decorated in delicate floral detail by the talented hands of artisans. We love gifting them to friends. They recently moved their “Cake Café” to Jersey City and it is beautiful. The interiors are chic, fresh, and a feast for the eyes. You can place orders in advance on their website or you can choose in person. 

Bon Vivant is “A Cake Café located in Jersey City at the entrance of the 1,200-acre Liberty State Park and Light Rail station. On the corner of a new luxury 300+ unit residential building featuring 21,000 sq ft of courtyard.” 295 Johnston AveJersey City, NJ 07304” 

“The exquisite creations are made with the finest ingredients and crafted with care and attention to detail. Discover the art of indulgence at Bon Vivant.”

“Create your own beautiful box of delicate cakes for a special celebration. Personalize by composing flavors and including a message card. Please check online for hours. Order ahead to ensure stock and on time delivery. Choose between

  • Same Day Delivery to Manhattan / Jersey City / nearby areas

  • Nationwide Shipment

  • Café Pickup”

We like to begin our day in Jersey City enjoying cappuccinos & petit fours. Then it’s off to Liberty State Park, where the wonderful views of the incredible skyline and Statue of Liberty never get old.

Liberty State Park is one of the state's most beautiful parks. It is located on the shores of the Hudson River with views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island. There are popular restaurants nearby with views that will dazzle, like the Liberty House Restaurant.

For dinner, we decided to try something more casual yet still beautiful with a European bistro atmosphere and menu. We went to Satis Bistro where the service was incredible. The outdoor seating had a quaint atmosphere. There is a charming little bar area tucked away. You must pop in there; it’s so cute! My endive salad was balanced perfectly with a lemony truffle dressing & the gnocchi dish melted in my mouth. It was so delicious! My husband loved the steak frites. The streets are lined with cute shops, restaurants, bars and more!

Paris House Kitchen Steak Frites

Steak frites and a glass of red wine transports us back to a Bistro in Paris, France. Steak Frites with Maitre d’Hotel butter. French fries have a truffle oil and blue cheese.

Fall Fashion Looks

Let’s Take our “Out To Dinner Bistro Look” to the next level! Elevate Fall fashion with a two piece sequin outfit! Swap out that jacket for a cashmere sweater. We love Faux leather dresses and stunning florals. Shorter to mid length polished nails in rich autumn hues with chunky gold bracelets and stacked rings are so chic! These looks are all about putting the “ooh la la” in Fall fashion! Book Michele at Paris House for a fashion consultation & personal shopping!
