Vintage lovers will be thrilled to know that there’s a new(ish) shop to the Jersey City Heights scene — as of October. Sure Things specializes in what it calls “fintage,” found and vintage objects and used books. It originated as an online business operating on Instagram in 2020, and has since grown into a brick-and-mortar shop located at 561 Palisade Avenue.
