Hoboken:
Hoboken, New Jersey, is a community that simultaneously enjoys all the benefits of a big city and the neighborliness of a small town. Children still walk to school and they play hopscotch on the sidewalks. Men with brooms and wheeled garbage cans. Sweep the streets.
Neighbors gather on front steps.
Bordered by the Hudson River and the Palisades, and centered between the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, Hoboken is just one mile square. One can walk to everything, yet the city is also a transportation hub, with a subway, ferry and railroad terminal.
Known as the birth place of Frank Sinatra and baseball, Hoboken `s physical character and charm have been preserved for over 140 years .The city is arranged in a tidy urban grid, lined with owner-occupied and cherished Victorian row house, punctuated by turn -of-the-century churches and storefronts.
The city has many fine and varied restaurants, included Chinese, Cuban, German, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Tai, and by an ice cream parlor still intact from the 1930s.You can shop in a modern supermarket or at a brick-oven bakery, and buy fresh produce from a peddler` truck. Although parking spaces are few and far between, festive out-of-towners visit every weekend anyway - something they have done here since horse-and-buggy days.
As you take your walking tour of Hoboken, you will find yourself traveling back in time, to a warm, human-scaled world that is still alive and well in the Mile Square City.
