The picture above was taken from the terrace of The Point restaurant. I will post a link to additional photographs over the...

Last Friday for the first time in quite awhile, I took the NY Waterways ferry from Port Liberte to Pier 11. When I got to the terminal one of the crew members told me that I could now buy my ticket on my Iphone. After downloading the App and completing a short signup process, I was able to purchase my ticket. In addition to purchasing and activating tickets (just show the crew the screen after activating) there are multiple ticket purchase options as well as schedules, route maps and other information all easily available. There are both...

Mike and I attended one of the many Super Bowl parties in Port Liberte on Sunday.

I have started to see a surge of buyers visiting Port Liberte over the last week or two and have even had a bidding war over a property for the first time in quite a while, a positive sign that the market may be starting to turn. I look forward to the time that Port Liberte short sales are a thing of the past and we see prices start to appreciate. This is going to take time but any indication of progress is a good sign. Port Liberte inventory of both sale and rental properties are currently near historically low levels. Tenants are telling me...

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.

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...
