    One of the perks of living in North Jersey is being in close proximity to NYC…read more The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway spans 18.5 miles from Bayonne to the George Washington Bridge. The route goes through Jersey City, Hoboken, West New York, North Bergen, Edgewater, and Fort Lee. This is a scenic walk that offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. There are many access points throughout the walkway. Some of them are the Edgewater Commons Shopping Center, Port Imperial (Weehawken), River Street (Hoboken), and Liberty State Park (Jersey City). It's pedestrian and bike friendly, so all runners, walkers, and bikers are welcome. The best views are at Pier A (Hoboken), Exchange Place (JC), and Liberty State Park (JC). You'll be able to see Midtown Manhattan, the Financial District, the World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island. Other than taking in the beautiful views of the skyline, there are plenty of other activities and attractions. Here are some notable ones: *Parks - Liberty State Park, Veteran's Field Park, James Braddock Park *Dining - All of the waterfront neighborhoods have a vibrant food scene, so don't hesitate to stop and dine in at any of the restaurants or bars. *Kayak launch sites - Urban Paddle, Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse *Shopping - Newport Centre in Jersey City *Memorials and Statues - 9/11 Memorial, Korean War Veteran Memorial, Water's Soul, Colgate Clock *Access to mass transit - Hoboken Station, Edgewater Ferry, Liberty Island Ferry Terminal I've been living in this area for nearly three decades and I'll never get tired of it. If you want to enjoy city views, but don't want to deal with the horrific bridge/tunnel traffic, tolls, and the crowds.... this is the right destination for you.

    So in case you want to know: round trip from end to end of the entire loop is 2 miles. We walked it…read moreon a lovely fall day. It was breezy but not windy. Well maintained. Safe walk. Just a lovely path for a nice walk.

    Joe made my trip! I had an excellent experience…read more My father was born and raised in the Bronx, but this is my first time in NYC. I am very interested in my father's upbringing, and wanted to see his neighborhood, as well as important personal landmarks. Several people- including other local tour guides, told me this neighborhood was too dangerous and I should do something else with my time. Joe met me at my hotel, and we took the subway together to the old neighborhood. Not only did Joe make me feel safe, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and prepared. He brought pictures of special landmarks, like my father's apartment building (which no longer exists) and my father's favorite candy shop, which has been a bodega for decades. He was also able to tell me a great deal about the history of the neighborhood. I strongly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a tour guide.

    Joe is awesome! If you are thinking about a tour of Harlem or any tour that Joe offers, do it. We…read morebooked the Harlem tour at 10pm the night before. He met us at our hotel promptly the next afternoon, took us on the subway and chatted with us the whole time. Joe is very personable. We arrived in Harlem in 15 -20 mins later and began our tour the minute we exited the station. We were stopped a few times, because Joe is well-known in Harlem, being a native. Folks love him, and we understand why. He is a genuinely nice guy who loves his city and is proud of his and its culture. Joe's knowledge of the city and it's history made for an informative experience. If we had more time in NYC, we certainly would have booked him again for another tour in a different part of the city. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Joe!

The art doesn't die in Winter like the flowers. There's always something to see. There's plenty of photo opportunities too. The architecture along the High Line is art in itself. I'm a fan. I want to commend the people that raised all the funds to preserve this historic landmark. A wonderful job in this Urban Space!! It's really come a long way since I started visiting here years ago. New benches and the walking paths are metal. I like the industrial feel. I usually have a long walk before I arrive. I can't walk the complete High Line. I usually return to walk sections at a time now. It's a nice place to visit. I like to return as much as possible. When you visit NYC make sure you research the history of the High Line. It's a very historic place. Keep your eyes open for the art forms that run from one end to the other.

    Art has no limitations and no restrictions. No right and no wrong. Freedom of expression.

The High Line is a beautiful tranquil walking trail to be enjoyed when one devotes a whole afternoon to fully immerse and intake the atmosphere and past history of a elevated freight railroad.

My son really enjoys the kids' room where there are misc. toys, and he can play there for a solid 30mins. The books offered are also wonderful, better selection than some of the other local libraries I've been to. I like that they have the flap books for little kids where the kids can open up a flap and something is revealed underneath. The books are taken very good care of. The library also boasts a really full event calendar, from story time to crafts to live music. I was thoroughly impressed that the live music performer goes an entire hour singing kids' songs, I'd have expected just 30mins! I took off one star because I've only used the outdoor book return dropoff box once when the library was closed, and 2 of 6 books I returned were never scanned in. I only found out when the library sent me a reminder email of the books I had to return still. I called the library, the librarian looked at the shelves and found the 2 books. She apologized and said I'm all set. I'm glad they found the books on the shelves because I'm not sure how long it would've taken to dispute that I in fact returned the books, but I was put off by the fact that the library wasn't careful with scanning all the books in. I recommend returning all books with a librarian so they scan the books in right away, rather than the outside book returns bin.

    I really love the Hoboken Public Library. The librarians are kind and helpful. I always appreciate…read morethe expansive collection and online offerings as well.
