Hey I'm Stephanie I am a Hoboken local and I have lived here for over four
years and I cannot wait to show you all of my favorite places to eat drink and
be merry in the one square mile city. Hoboken is accessible by ferry bus and
Path train. The ferry takes about five minutes, my personal favorite form of
transportation. The bus is about 15 and the path train
which connects to the (NYC) subway is about 10 minutes to get in and out of New York
City so it's pretty convenient. The Hudson River waterfront walkway
stretches for 18 miles up and down the coast of northern New Jersey.
It goes from Jersey City through Hoboken all the way up to the GW bridge which
makes for a great bike, run or walk along the waterfront. I absolutely love this
train terminal it is so gorgeous this is where you catch the trains right near
the ferry it is just so beautiful here. Pier A park is one of the most popular parks
here in Hoboken it is closest to the train station so once you hop off the
path just walk over here and you'll get amazing views of New York City as well
as back at Hoboken.
Every summer Hobokenites flock to Pier 13 because they have great beer even
better sangria and some of the best views in the entire city of Hoboken.
As a beer lover myself the Pilsner house was an obvious choice as one of my favorite
places to go in Hoboken I'm obsessed with their beer they have all of the
best type of hefeweizens you can imagine not to mention the best soccer on Saturdays
and Sunday so you have to get here early to get a spot but it's pretty fun when
it's nice out you can actually sit outside at the Pilsner house which makes
it even better because they have a really fun and vibrant beer garden.
Hoboken has a ton of amazing Italian delis because there's a lot of Italian
influence here and one of the most impressive is Vito's. Vito's is known for
its epic "mutz" mozzarella and you can't go wrong when you order it out here
because I always do! Carlo's Bakery is probably one of the most famous places
here in Hoboken, it originated in 1910 but became really famous after TLC's
Cake Boss show which featured master baker Buddy Valastro who now really
leads the Carlo's Bakery brand. Something a lot of people don't know about Hoboken
is there's actually a university in this 1 square mile city and the university
Stevens Institute of Technology actually has some of the best views in all of
Hoboken one of its most famous views is Castle Point Lookout which is where we
are right now. Castle Point Lookout is the highest
point in Hoboken and it overlooks lower Manhattan up here on Castle Point Lookout
there's actually a Revolutionary War cannon that symbolically protects
Hoboken even to this day!
