  • I travel across the Hudson River from New York City to spend a day exploring Hoboken, NJ. I eat a massive sandwich at M & P Biancamano with fresh “mutz” (mozzarella), see where the first organized baseball game was played at the site of Elysian Fields, visit Carlo’s Bakery from the show Cake Boss and explore the beautiful waterfront with NYC skyline views.

    I live in Hoboken from 1952 to 1959. My Mom and I lived at Northern end of Washington St. 1 bock west in a 4-story building, no elevator and was considered a poor person building. I still remember my first day of kinder garden in Hoboken. My friends and I used to play on the docks where many trains would be parked. Were good memories. I live in California now but would love to go back to Hoboken to see places I remember. Although from your video it is very modern and built up looks like. Great video, thank you.

    This place is amazing to be honest, I got the chance to stay with my bosses friend during a convention. Its amazing at how while walking, you can keep moving in the direction you're going. If one street is giving the cars right of way, the other isn't, allowing you to continue in your direction. Not to mention how amazing the waterfront is.

    Great job James! My hometown man. I'll always love that city. Unbelievable, I'm planning on going back for a visit next Summer, I live in Maine now for the last 22 years, but the pull on my heart is still as strong as it's ever been. Highlights: Restaurants, bars/pubs/taverns with pool tables and entertainment, and great people, the street scene is incredible, whatever you want, we got. lol. Italian feasts in the Summer, the feast of Saint Anne's the biggest of which, with fresh zeppolas, and of course fireworks.. Some goodfellas vibes, (well it's the birthplace, so...the old days ok?) Fun events in the Spring and Summer, festivals with some of the best rock from the old school. A small community with a large population under the shadow of NYC, it doesn't get any better, believe me. Hey, I was born in Hoboken, birthplace of Frank Sinatra, baseball, Pia Zadora, among others, and I remember the horse drawn cart (old white horse who us kids loved) selling fresh fish wrapped in newspaper, those were the days! You visit, you love.

      Nice to see that you're actually from Hoboken...its yuppie ville and alot of outsiders claim they're from Hoboken when they weren't even born or raised there. I hate when ppl say they're from there when they really aren't. A true Hudson county person stands out and you can tell who is and who isn't from here.

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God’s Son will not perish but will have life that lasts forever. For God did not send His Son into the world to say it is guilty. He sent His Son so the world might be saved from the punishment of sin by Him.
    Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
    If today you hear His voice harden not your hearts. Now is the time to be saved!
