We are located at 85 Wayne Street in beautiful downtown Jersey City, between Jersey Avenue and Barrow Street.
We are a five-minute walk from the Grove Street PATH Station.
Parking in our neighborhood is difficult, so we advise arriving early. The parking lot around the corner recently closed for development.
