About Jersey City

Jersey City is the second-most populous city in the U.S. state of New Jersey, after Newark. It is the seat of Hudson County, as well as the county's largest city. As of 2014, Jersey City's Census-estimated population was 161,146. Among the oldest surviving houses in Jersey City are the Newkirk House (1690), the Van Vorst Famhouse (1740), and the Van Wagenen House (1741). The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. Jersey City is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. A part of the East Coast Greenway, a planned unbroken bike route from Maine to the Florida Keys, will travel through the city. Liberty State Park is home to Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, the Interpretive Center, and Liberty Science Center. From the park, ferries travel to both Ellis Island and the Immigration Museum and Liberty Island, site of the Statue of Liberty.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.
