The Local Girl Media Group, parent brand of The Hoboken Girl, founded by Hoboken resident Jennifer Tripucka, is excited to announce the redesign of its real estate directory after teaming up with students from Stevens School of Business on the project. The goal? To create an enhanced experience for prospective buyers, renters, and owners. The platform is designed to simplify searching and listing properties for rent, sale, or sublet in the area, as well as usability of searching for vacation rentals, homes for sale throughout New York and New Jersey as a whole. The Local Girl team has worked with the business students as part of their Senior Design Project to spearhead the relaunch of its real estate directory. The capstone project assigns students a small business to partner with in a strategic move to enhance user experience and expand its reach.
Jennifer Tripucka, the visionary founder of The Local Girl Media Group, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Coming from an education background, I always love to work with students, and this senior project was no exception. It’s been so wonderful to get a fresh, student perspective on what will be helpful for users in the future on our real estate directory as they continue to expand their home search.”

With a shared commitment to innovation and excellence, Stevens School of Business and The Hoboken Girl/The Local Girl teams worked together, creating a synergistic blend of creativity and expertise. Students have shared their feedback, and The Hoboken Girl/The Local Girl teams can connect in real-time regarding updates with the web team on how to make it more user-friendly.
“There are so many places to search for properties, but not as many to list your own in one central place,” Jen noted. “We aim to change that. We want this to be a resource for our readers, as an easy way to post a rental or sublet listing, or find a space that is looking for a roommate.”
The directory allows users to create a profile, post their rental/sublet/for sale property, and — the more unique aspect — it will be posted to The Local Girl Media Group’s sister brand platforms, including The Hoboken Girl, The Montclair Girl, The Jersey Shore Girl, and more. The site includes all of New Jersey, as well as some of eastern New York, including the five boroughs. It can then be shared via a published link in any capacity by users.
In the ever-changing real estate landscape, The Local Girl brand continues to be a resource for New Jersey and New York residents looking to put roots down in the NYC metro area. The directory now has an easy-to-use interface, which allows residents to post their own rentals, sublets, and homes. This is in addition to the traditional realtor-sourced postings and vacation rentals.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or searching for the perfect rental or sublet, The Local Girl‘s revamped platform offers a seamless and intuitive interface to streamline your search and connect you with your dream property, thanks to the help of local Stevens Tech students.
As The Local Girl Media Group continues to expand its digital footprint via sister brands and empower communities across New Jersey, the relaunch of the real estate directory marks a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to simplifying your local life.

Hoboken St. Patrick’s Day 2025: Bar Crawl Schedule
Now that Valentine's Day is over, it's time to start thinking about all things St. Patrick's Day. The Hoboken St. Patrick's Day parade dates back to the 1980s, but after being permanently halted in 2012, some St. Paddy's events in Hoboken have become somewhat controversial. What was once a day that celebrated a 26-year tradition and hosted NJ’s biggest parade, turned into a day filled with arrests, public drunkenness, and chaos for law enforcement. Either way, these bar crawl events happen annually — this year, there are six that have been announced so far. Most are organized by PubCrawls.com, while other events are put together by local businesses in an attempt to calm the chaos. We've rounded up all of the crawls happening locally for easy browsing. Read on for a list of the St. Patrick's Day bar crawl events happening in Hoboken, New Jersey for 2025.
Behind the Bar Crawl
The LepreCon Crawl is a privately-organized event, coordinated by Pubcrawls.com, that quickly took the place of the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Per its name, it’s a Hoboken bar crawl held on the first Saturday in March. The event became known as a cause of public drunkenness and bar fights, leading to arrests, hospital visits, local complaints, and other issues. Per TapInto, the presence of law enforcement was increased in an effort to curb rowdiness, especially after the crawl’s one-year hiatus during the pandemic. Increasing police presence and publicizing fines have reportedly helped decrease issues to an extent, though the event is still frowned upon by many local residents and businesses.

The City of Hoboken has been trying to crack down on this event. Mayor Bhalla has urged both residents and businesses not to participate — though many local businesses say that participation is crucial to keep business afloat during a slow season.
