Scott and Cathy Shaw, January 2012

“Barbara was very helpful in our search for the perfect home for us in Port Lib. She was patient, informative and really listened and cared about our needs.

We are so glad we chose Barbara as our Realtor. She was always available to us no matter when we called. She turned out to be not only a great Realtor for us but a true friend as well.”

Trattoria Abbondanza

Mike (husband) and some of our Port Liberte friends were excited to try a new restaurant in downtown Jersey City on Grand Street at Liberty Harbor. Trattoria Abbondanza surpassed our greatest expectations. How nice to find parking and then to be greeted by the gracious owners. If you like brick oven pizza or superb Italian cuisine, try this restaurant. Bring your own favorite bottle of wine. After dinner we enjoyed a wonderfully performed show at the Attic Ensemble Theater, Next Fall. As always, the actors and the play were superb.

A Friday evening at the Pointe

What would a Friday night be without some food, friends, and drinks at the Pointe Restaurant in Port Liberte? The Alan Quinn group featuring Jeanine with an amazing voice doing old favorites last Friday made an enjoyable evening. If you are new to Port Liberte this is a great way to meet some of your neighbors.

Dinner at Porto Leggero and Attic Ensemble show “Fully Committed”

What a great evening was had by my husband Mike and me as well as our wonderful group of Port Liberte and downtown Jersey City friends. New friends and old friends alike are what makes Port Liberte our special home. Dinner at Port Leggero was superb as always. The off Broadway show by the Attic Ensemble “Fully Committed” at the Barrow Mansion was hilarious. This one man show amused us for 90 minutes.

There are several theaters in downtown Jersey City including the Attic Ensemble and a theater in Hamilton Park. Tickets are $20 and dessert and coffee is served.

There are more events coming up this Fall and Winter. I will be posting them to my website in advance of the performances.
