Hoboken

While travelers may flock to other New Jersey cities for the beaches, they come to Hoboken to see the brownstone buildings and to eat. Located across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, Hoboken is the place to go when visitors are seeking ethnic foods, ranging from Mexican to Italian to Indian. It’s also a walk able city from the downtown and the waterfront. Pier C Park is aimed at children, but older visitors will enjoy the spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. Also winning high marks is the Historical Museum, housed in an old steel plant.
