Who needs the Big Apple when you’ve got the energy, culinary delights, and walkability of Downtown Hoboken? Coveted for its stellar restaurant and bar scene, youthful vibe, and friendly, intimate community feel, this thriving metropolis is an ideal alternative to Manhattan.
 
Although Hoboken covers only a single mile, the town packs a punch in terms of activity, dining, shopping, and lifestyle. An urban grid design, this exciting neighborhood is lined with gorgeous Victorian row houses, converted waterfront properties, and historical architecture.

The Sinatra pride is strong in Hoboken, the hometown of Old Blue Eyes, and the beautiful Sinatra Park is a fitting namesake. This gorgeous waterfront park offers a kayak launch, soccer field, an amphitheater, and spectacular views of Manhattan. Located along the Hudson River Waterfront, Pier C Park is a recreation pier with scenic views of New York City, a fishing pier, playground, a water play area, and a promenade. Bird enthusiasts will be pleased to know there’s even a rookery. Church Square Park, an ideal place for a day out with the family, and the family’s furry friends, provides a playground, basketball court, and dog run.

Not to be outdone by its flashy neighbor, Downtown Hoboken brings its fair share of artistic and cultural events, such as the beloved Hoboken Arts and Music Festival. Showcasing oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, sculpture, mixed media, and photography, as well as children’s activities and an incredible selection of cuisine that spans the globe, the festival is a celebration of all things arts, crafts, food, and fun.
