Luca Brasi’s Deli

Oozing in Italian/Italian-American references, Luca Brasi’s Deli at the intersection of Park Avenue and First Street is yet another café-meets-old-world-grocery that tells, or rather shouts, the tale of Hoboken’s heritage.

House of ‘Que

In an attempt to extend my trip to Texas over winter break by the tiniest bit, I went down to Sinatra Drive for some “Authentic Austin Barbeque” from the new House of ‘Que.

Union Square holiday shops

Tis the season for tons of tourists to descend upon the city to find their fill of holiday cheer, and though we only reside a stone’s throw away, I recommend joining them at least once.

Hansel ‘n Griddle

Popular with the Rutgers crowd, the breakfast and brunch spot Hansel ‘n Griddle recently expanded to Hoboken. Despite being consistently rated among the top brunch spots in New Jersey, I really can’t understand what all of the fuss is about.

Tacoesque

I wanted to like Tacoesque—I really did. There’s just something about the idea of a brand new restaurant, rough around the edges, focusing on nothing but the food.

Sri Thai

A short walk from campus to the corner of Third and Bloomfield will take you to yet another hidden Hoboken gem—Sri Thai.

Honeygrow Local

New to Washington Street (so new that I broke my “no reviewing places on Washington Street” rule), Honeygrow Local is the perfect addition for both wealthy yuppies and poor college students.

The Green Pear

Tucked just off the corner of First and Grand St. is the quaint Green Pear Café.

With its cozy and peaceful interior and free Wi-Fi, the Green Pear offers a great place to escape from campus for a bit to enjoy a cup of coffee or a smoothie and a snack.

D’s Soul Full Cafe sings many notes but falls flat

Between 9th and 10th Streets on Willow is a café serving up some culture with their sandwiches.

D’s Soul Full Café offers a store front window to performing musicians and their walls to artists to display their work.
