A half hour comedy/drama where huddled masses salsa freely

Sizzle Reel by Monique Alvarez

At the heart of our world on Bergenline Ave is a family-owned apartment building and its bistro storefront run by the Gonzalez Family.

Meet the Gonzalez Family

We follow the unconventional Latinx Gonzalez family as they fight for their version of the American dream by saving their family-owned apartment building and storefront in Jersey’s historic “Havana on the Hudson”.

World & Neighborhood

“Havana on the Hudson”

A colorful, authentic, historic neighborhood across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Only most of us didn’t know this unique community even exists, until now. The Cuban sound–el son Cubano–fills the street as hearts in rhythm with la cultura beat in sync as Dominos clink and clash with the crunch of fresh ‘shaved ice’– A symphony of el barrio. The soundtrack for hips swanking booty jeans as they sway under an array of Latinx national flags strung as one, proudly near a prominent American flag.

“We’re neither Democrat or Republican, nor blue or black, nor rich or poor…here, everyone’s equal.” - Local resident
