Jersey City Living
The History of Our Beloved Historic Brownstones.
The Jersey City brownstone homes that populate our neighborhood streets are more than places of residence but rather pieces of jersey city history ingrained in the fabric of of our community. Although some may refer to many townhouses as brownstones, the true Jersey City Brownstone home is identified by the unique reddish-brown coloring of the sandstone.
At Home with Annie & David Trotta of Whealth & Co
An inside look at the home of Annie & David Trotta of Whealth & Co and their story.
You may be familiar with the amazing, healthy food offering that Whealth & Co offers. Owner David Trotta and wife Annie Evans originally met at Jack's Coffee in the West Village over some brief and flirty exchanges years before their first date. Annie accepted a job position in Miami working for a Tech Startup and David continued on towards his goal of building Whealth & Co. It took years before they reconnected through an online dating app, leading to what Annie’s describes as “The most Epic first date in Jersey City and the rest is history…”
Now married and parents to Baby Boy Wells, they enlisted the help of friend and design maven - Irina Schneid of Scharc Studio - to create the perfect Nursery and Guest Room that reflected their fun-loving lifestyle and new parenting roles.
