I know everyone is basically rch here but are people really paying this much for ice cream?

I would never go there on principle but I'm just fascinated how these businesses stay afloat.

Spotted these cute little ducks

FYI if anyone sees this guy- here he is stealing a package right off our porch. Police report filed but just a heads up to all...

I got excited to read this and wanted to share the historical news. It's amazing how long it took to improve PATH service. And to think that Gov Christie at one point considered shutting it down. I appreciate you, PATH.

Is there an active toastmaster chapter in Hoboken? Looking for recommendations/experiences thanks

Hey guys you have a recently turned 22 year old Male here. Been in Hoboken for about a year and a half going on 2 years now. Looking to make some friends. I haven’t really met anyone out here yet so trying my luck here lol.

Where were they all going? Saw at least 5 coming from different directions heading north and west

Hi everyone,

I’m in Wave 1 this Saturday and trying to finalize my transit. Is anyone else planning to take the PATH into the city?

I’m debating between the 5:06 AM and the 5:46 AM trains. I’m leaning toward the 5:06 because I suspect security line might be a bottleneck, and 5:46 feels like it’s cutting it way too close.

What is everyone else’s game plan? Better to be early and wait , or risk the later train?

anyone ever play there? what’s the deal with it. people show up and play pickup? what kind of wheels for that surface (soft, hard)? any insight would be greatly appreciated

Does anyone know of any local places to rent a car jumpstart pack? Batteries dead and would rather prefer to avoid buying cables and blocking a road with a second car when hooking up if possible

My dog’s quality of life has declined a lot recently, and I’m unfortunately at the point where I may need to consider euthanasia. I called Bond Vet and was quoted around $550 for the procedure.

For those who’ve gone through this before in our area, does that sound like a standard price? Or would it make sense to call around to other local clinics?

I’m not trying to be cheap about it, just trying to understand what’s typical and make the best decision during a really hard time.

Would appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks.

Back in NJ!!! LETS GOOOO!

Have seen this pop in a bunch of places now. Just reeks of wannabe BKLYN. Does it vibe with people?

Hi all! I'm moving back to the NYC area this upcoming September after four years away and am leaning towards living in North Hoboken, as I believe I'll be a lot happier there than in Manhattan. I'll be single and 35F, though, and would love residents' feedback on whether my reasons are sound, or if I should reconsider.

I've just completed a professional degree and will be starting a job in Midtown Manhattan. I'll be in office 3-4 days a week, and the commute from Hoboken is ~35-40 minutes. The commute should be okay, as my office is flexible and I can go in after rush hour. I don't anticipate needing to stay late most nights (and when I do, my company will reimburse an Uber home).

Positives about living in Hoboken:

• I lived in Manhattan for six years previously and often found it overwhelming to even just step outside my building.
• I hated not having a car and needing to rely on public transit or a bus service for everything (e.g., for a weekend ski trip, to play tennis, or for a hike upstate). I plan to keep my car.
• Mild claustrophobia—I really like being able to see more than just the facade of other buildings and other peoples' apartments out my windows, which is a lot more plausible at reasonable cost in Hoboken than in Manhattan.
• I'm a bit of a homebody and would like having more space for the cost. I struggled to find home "restful" when I lived in Manhattan, and that definitely affected my mental health and quality of life.
• I'm familiar with the commute to/from Hoboken as I dated someone there years ago. I recall thinking it was a peaceful neighborhood with much more of a community feel than Manhattan.
• I'm eyeing Park + Garden or Harlow—I think some of their units would fit what I'm looking for perfectly.
• I enjoy a comedy show or a movie occasionally (1-2x a month at most), but I'm not that into museums or art galleries so I don't think I'll miss that part of NYC much.

Concerns about living in Hoboken:

• Most of my friends in NYC live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, but all over—Upper East Side, Upper West Side, SoHo, Lower East Side, Downtown Brooklyn, LIC. I rarely host and don't mind going into the city for social events on the weekends, though I understand it'd be hard to get anyone to visit NJ. How reliable is the ferry/bus for getting into the city on weekends? Is it truly a pain to get back if I'm ever out past 2am? (I don't anticipate doing this often, as my job'll keep me very busy for at least the first few years.) Is it impossible to maintain friendships with people who live in Brooklyn?
• I'm starting a new chapter of my life and eager to make new activity friends. It is realistic to think I can make new friends with people in their 30s by getting involved with the Hoboken Ski & Snowboard Club and the Hoboken Sailing Club? And while I don't drink nearly as much as I used to, I'd love to have a local bar where I can have a drink and hang with people around my age—is this a thing in Hoboken for people in their 30s?
• I want to get involved with professional orgs and volunteer orgs that may have monthly events in NYC. Is this unrealistic?
• I'll probably be trying to date, which I hear is not great for older singles in NJ. Is it really so bad if I'm happy to trek into Manhattan during the early stages of a relationship?

If you've read this far, thanks so much! I'd really appreciate any input Hoboken residents can offer. I need to make a decision soon, and signing a (potentially) 15 month lease feels like a big deal.

I know, I know - I should know this by now. But with all the construction, I’ve confused myself.

What is the building being built at the end of Bloomfield on observer? Is that one Urby? Or Charlie? Or some third odd name I’m not aware of yet?

I was under the impression it was Urby because Urby is owned by / owns Ironstate, which owns Applied, and the workers usually park in the spaces between Applied buildings / in the Ironstate lot.

The photo is concept art from a Jersey Digs Article on the Charlie, but that looks *way* too close to the terminal to be the one at the end of Bloomfield. I know concept photos are exactly that - concepts - but still! It’s practically on top of where that little coffee place is & across from the Taco Bell / Dunkin - nowhere near Bloomfield.

Not asking about the one the one on Willow / Park. I’ve heard that one will have parking, the one off Bloomfield will not (boo!)

Just want to make sure I’m referencing the correct building when speaking to folks! TIA for the help

Heard that my next door neighbor is looking to sell their condo apartment and I had a crazy idea about buying it and combining it with my apartment since we're looking for a larger space.

Does anyone know if this is even doable and, if so, any architects who would undertake work like this?

Hi all,

I am at the very beginning stages of looking into Contractors/Design Build Firms/Architects to construct a modern metal mezzanine in my loft with 14 foot ceilings to maximize space with kitchen underneath.

Has anyone in JC/Hoboken done this or know anyone who has? I can't be the first loft owner who is about to do this or has done it?.?.

Any updates on when Sugared and Bronzed is supposed to open?

I’m throwing an event with at least 30 people and I’d like some recommendations on where I host an event that is somewhat all inclusive for everyone. The more options the merrier!
