JERSEY CITY — Five Jersey City small businesses – Cocoa Bakery, Kanibal Home, Nightingale Projects, WorryWoo creator Andi Green, and Grove Street Bikes – are banding together on Sunday, Dec. 16 for what they are calling a “Take Back the Holidays” shopping event. The fun begins at 10 a.m. with book readings by Andi Green at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2 p.m.
From artisanal cakes, handmade home decor, to classic bikes, and a WorryWoo Monsters book signing, this event hopes to get the Jersey City community back on its feet to enjoy a holiday shopping experience perfect for all ages. Festivities include door prize raffles, free bike safety checks, a reading and signing of “The Very Frustrated Monster,” the latest WorryWoo book by Andi Green. Cocoa Bakery and Kanibal Home, in collaboration with Nightingale Projects, will each set up a pop-up shop at Grove Street Bikes and sell a selection of items from their product lines. The goal is to come together and bring back the holiday spirit that was somewhat taken by Sandy’s fury.
