Hoboken

Hudson River city

Hoboken is a city in northeastern New Jersey, situated on the Hudson River directly across from Manhattan.

Once an industrial waterfront town, it transformed in the late twentieth century into a residential area popular with young professionals commuting to New York City.

Frank Sinatra was born there: Hoboken's most famous son.
