Her insider perspective of the city provides insight about the best places to visit throughout Hoboken and its unique qualities from food to nightlife.

After 11 years on the waterfront, the Irish-style tavern has closed its doors after the location changed hands as of August 1st. Word around town is a new local restaurant will opening in the location sometime this fall. Either way, as one of the first restaurants to commit itself to the establishment of the Hoboken Waterfront scene, Trinity’s presence will be missed. We wish all the best to the staff and a thank you for all the wonderful times shared at the establishment.

Stevens Institute of Technology students have finished up work on their “Sure House”–get it? Shore House? The house they’ve built over the past 4 months has been engineered to withstand a category 3 hurricane. {We’re talking 130mph winds!} Although its meant to do so, the house is not built for people to wait out the storm but to be reassured their house would still be there upon their return. This house was built in lieu of the international Solar Decathlon competition that Stevens students previously competed in. Take a stroll past the house yourself, which is still currently located at its construction site on Sinatra Drive, just past the public soccer field.

Rumors have flown around for years that grocery store Trader Joe’s would be opening a Hoboken location. While those rumors may have been based more on wishful thinking than fact, it looks like there many now be truth to them. According to some extensive dissecting of city council meeting notes conducted by the crew over at HMag {thanks guys!}, accounts are being open by Advance Realty for expenses related to a Trader Joe’s loading dock on space at Clinton and 13th street. While no official announcement has been made, we’re keeping hopes high that they’re headed to Hoboken.

Uber to Stay in Hoboken

It looks as if ride-sharing service Uber is here to stay {yay!!}. Popular demand of the company’s services is causing serious issues with yellow cab companies in Hoboken. While the legality of the service is still in question, Uber is making a permanent home in the city, having just opened a local headquarters at 76 Washington street. Mayor Zimmer and City Council President Ravi Bhalla were on hand at the ribbon cutting ceremony and offered support for the company. Stay tuned to see if a legislative agreement can be found to legalize the operation of Uber in Hoboken.

Although it looks to be a work in progress, we can’t wait to hear more about when and where bwè 2 is going to open.

Cucharamama Ranked Among New Jersey’s Best

Cucharamama-9-1

In case you didn’t know, Cucharamama has some pretty amazing food. The South-American restaurant located at 213 Clinton is a local favorite and is continuing to get outside recognition. New Jersey Monthly has ranked the restaurant as one of the top 25 in New Jersey along side other famed restaurants like Nicholas in Red Bank, and Maritime Parc in Jersey City. With a food rating of 27 from Zagat, it’s clear that both critics and locals agree that Cucharamama is well worth the visit.
