We love the brand new Vale’s Kafe and Kitchen (@vales_kafekitchen) at the corner of 22nd St and Kerrigan Ave! Meet Pablo Mendoza and Vanja Blagojevic, the restaurant’s warm and welcoming owners. Having both worked in the restaurant industry for a long time in Manhattan, they opened Vale’s together on April 1st, 2023, aiming to bring a fresh, healthy, and invigoratingly delicious menu to their home of Union City. A perfect stop for any meal of the day (dinner hours coming soon!) Let’s all welcome Vale’s Kafe and Kitchen to Union City, Baby! #unioncitynj
What better way to kick off this page than by posting about Blondie? The song "Union City Blue" was written by Debbie Harry and Nigel Harrison, and was featured on Blondie’s fourth studio album Eat to the Beat from 1979. The tune was inspired by the 1979 movie Union City, which Debbie Harry appeared in (she wrote the lyrics one evening during a break in the shooting). The song’s music video was filmed at Union Dry Dock in nearby Weehawken, New Jersey. Follow us for more on the finest city in NJ.
