Know Before You Go

The vast majority of their product, if not made in-house, comes from farmers, fisherman, and artisans from Delaware north to our namesake, Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia.

Neighborhoods to Explore

1. Downtown

The business and transportation hub of our little town also hosts the liveliest bars and restaurants.

2. Midtown

Steven's Institute of Technology, Church Square Park, and multiple bagel and pizzeria spots in a block radius. What more can you ask for?

3. Uptown

Slightly quieter than its counterparts, Uptown has many hidden gems. Check out Little City Book's new location, grab a coffee at BWE café, see a movie at Bowtie Cinemas, and try the best wings in Hoboken at Carpe Diem.

4. The Waterfront

While the Hudson River Waterfront spans 18.5 miles, Hoboken's one mile contains many influential and historical spots. Visit Sybil's Cave which was inspiration for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and stop by numerous World War II memorials along the way.

Head over to Antique Bar and Bakery for unique twists on classic cocktails and a speakeasy feel. While the décor is 70’s chic with walls plastered in movie posters and a menu that reads as a script, the coal oven creations are among the top rated for locals.
