Bread + Salt, a bakery in Jersey City Heights, is known for its exclusivity in both menu items and hours of operation. But this Thursday, December 19th, the local haunt is breaking its strict Friday-Saturday-Sunday schedule to host a burger pop-up at 435 Palisade Avenue. A pretty far cry from its usual selection of pizza, sandwiches, and baked goods, Bread + Salt has recruited Roll-O Dairy Bar for an evening of milkshakes, burgers, and fries. Keep reading to learn more about Bread + Salt’s burger pop-up, happening in Jersey City Heights this Thursday, December 9th.
Event Details
Starting at 5PM on Thursday, December 19th, Roll-O Dairy Bar — a retro-style snack shop — will be parked outside of Bread + Salt in Jersey City Heights for a night of classic diner food. Bread + Salt is making the burger buns (guaranteed delicious), but Roll-O Dairy Bar is preparing everything else: the burgers, the shakes, the fries, etc.

It might seem unexpected for a local Italian bakery to pair up with a Coca-Cola vending trailer-turned-dairy bar, but it’s a welcome friendship. The food truck specializes in locally sourced foods, even for its burgers and shakes.

OrGovia: A New Chilean-Puerto Rican Fusion Restaurant in Hoboken
A new restaurant has been added to Hoboken’s extensive food scene. OrGovia is a Chilean-Puerto Rican fusion restaurant located at 1119 Jefferson Street. The culinary team's head chef combines ingredients from one part of the world with spices from another to create bold and unexpected flavors. This new spot is the only place where diners can find alcapurria bites and tostones waffle fries in Hoboken. Read on to learn more about OrGovia in Hoboken and its Caribbean-fusion menu items.
About OrGovia
OrGovia is located at 1119 Jefferson Street in Hoboken. Owner and Head Chef Jordan Ortiz shared with The Hoboken Girl that he is half Chilean and half Puerto Rican. The name ‘OrGovia’ is a blend of Ortiz, his father’s last name, and Segovia, his mother’s maiden name. Since his food creations are a fusion of his two cultures, the name OrGovia seemed fitting.
Jordan also shared that he always had a passion for cooking. After the pandemic in 2020, he decided to start cooking at pop-up events in Jersey City. He hosted ‘OrGovia Fridays’ at Blends Cafe and had pop-ups at Garden State of Mind. His innovative menu items gained popularity over the next few years and Jordan opened his first restaurant, OrGovia, on January 1st, 2025.

The Menu
OrGovia serves traditional Puerto Rican street food like alcapurria bites, which are fritters made from root vegetables and stuffed with savory chicken or ground beef, and mini empanadas filled with chicken, beef, or vegetables. These items are served with pebre, a Chilean salsa made with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and garlic.
Also on the menu are the signature crispy chicken sandwich and the Banngin’ Burger, a double-smash cheeseburger topped with grilled onions, and secret sauce. These items are served with a choice of tostones waffle fries, made from green plantains, yuca (cassava) bites, or crinkle-cut french fries.
Other menu items include chicken tenders, hot dogs, and crispy mozzarella cakes. Jordan shared with HG that in the future he would like to expand the menu to include more traditional Puerto Rican dishes like pernil (roasted pork), pasteles (root vegetable patties), and mofongo (fried plantains mashed with garlic). His main goal at OrGovia is to “make hungry people happy.”
