Do you have someone in your family who loves gardening? Here's a cool gift idea I came across. Bonus points if they watch the TV show Alone because it was created by Nicole who's been on the show twice (if you haven't seen the show you should give it a try, it's an interesting concept).

It's a gardening kit with seeds for 10 different plants that can be used to make various herbal remedies. It also comes with a book written by Nicole where she goes over everything you can make with the plants from ointments and teas all the way to essential oils and infusions. It's not something you'd find in a normal store so it makes for a unique gift especially if the person you're buying it for is a fan of natural remedies.

I ordered a kit for my Mom's birthday earlier in the year and she was a massive fan of it. She now makes her grandkids sleepy tea before bed whenever they sleep over and always offers us some substance she makes from the feverfew if we complain about a headache. I think she's probably made every recipe in the book and it's only been 9 months.

Here's the link to the website if you want to check it out: https://medicinalkit.com/

Am I the only person who is hitting their limit on EVERY business Hoboken charging CC fees? Between that and the aggressive tip pushing everywhere, it makes me not want to buy anything or patronize these places. I have started bringing cash with me and I tell all my friends who visit me to do the same.

I also am now avoiding businesses where I get the stink eye for not tipping. Choc-o-pain I am looking at you here. If your employee hands me a baguette I do not think they deserve a tip. Sorry. I used to wait tables in college years ago and I made 2.50 an hour plus tips. In those instances, yes of course you tip and you tip well but I am so over someone expecting a tip because they put a few plain bagels in a paper bag for me.

Just going out anywhere these days feels like such a money grab.

So, to preface, I know absolutely nothing about coffee and I’m not really a coffee drinker. However, my roommate is, and every single time we’ve gotten coffee in the two years we’ve lived together, he’s said that it’s too weak.

I’m looking for recommendations for coffee so strong it will kill him.

Thanks!

In the market for a new delivery service and found MyBuddyNJ online. Has anyone used them before? Are they legit?

What’s everyone doing for drinking water? Any good shower head filter recommendations?

Our Accountant has retired. Any recommendations for Accountants that you’ve used through the years that are reliable, responsive and reasonably priced? Thanks in advance!

I heard people in Hoboken are crying over a certain flag being raised. You know the UN has arrest warrants for them and most of the world is on the right side of history.

Hey guys,

I'll be moving into Hoboken and I'm looking for a 2bed 1-2 bath, anywhere near Hoboken.

The main issue is on Zillow and other platform, they require a credit score, but as an international student I don't have a credit score right now. I can pay the rent easily but have trouble finding rooms

And facebook seems filled with scammers and spammers.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Is the path train usually packed around this time of year? Im 30 weeks pregnant and people just shove and push me out of the way so they can get a seat. I never had a problem being able to find a seat until after Thanksgiving 🙃

This is probably a dumb question but I'm new to taking the ferry into the city. From pier 14, how do you know which Ferry is arriving since there's no signage on the Ferry itself? I've noticed there's usually two lines, one along the water and one next to the ticket station. Are those lines split by destination?

I got on the longer line today, not realizing there was a 2nd one and then found out at the gate it wasnt going where I needed it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone- I will be hosting my family for Christmas Eve and was wondering if anyone had experience catering from restaurants locally during the holidays? It will only be seven people so a small catering order but wanted to make sure things would be open.

Any advice would be great!

Hey all , I will be staying in NJ for this New Year and Will be with my partner, wanted to ask are the new years fireworks visible from the Riverfront? Is there usually a spot where poeople gather up to watch and celebrate? or are there another spots?

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are searching for housing in Hoboken or nearby areas, and I’m hoping to get some advice or leads from this community. Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Budget: Up to $1,400/month (including utilities), ideally closer to $1,200.
• Move-in Date: Flexible between March 1 and April 29, 2025.
• Lease Terms: Preferably a three-month, six-month, or one-year lease.
• Pets: We have a dog and a few small pets (all well-behaved and maintained), so pet-friendly housing is a must.
• Requirements: At least one bedroom or a studio, one bathroom, and access to laundry (either in-unit or shared).
• Location: Within Hoboken or a reasonable commute to Montclair State University (30 minutes by car or 1.5 hours by public transit).

We’re responsible tenants with steady incomes and can provide references if needed. I’ve been browsing listings online and in Facebook groups but haven’t had much luck yet, so I thought I’d reach out here.

If you know of any available rentals, landlords, or resources, I’d greatly appreciate your advice! Feel free to comment or message me directly.

Thanks so much for your help!

Just went to the Hoboken university medical center on Willow Ave and my god that place is absolutely horrible. Can anyone recommend a relatively close good hospital/ER hospital? Would be willing to Uber up to an hour if necessary if the care is worth it.

I’d like to volunteer a couple hours every other week. Looking for some suggestions for organizations that need volunteers.

Thanks for any ideas!

As the title says :) Thank you!

Lease Takeover Opportunity: Cozy Studio at the Border of Hoboken & Jersey City!

Hi there! I'm looking for someone to take over my lease for a wonderful studio apartment located right at the border of Hoboken and Jersey City close to the light rail. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to be close to both cities with all the great dining, shops, and entertainment just a short walk away.

The apartment itself is super bright and spacious. More spacious than your average studio apartment. The kitchen is modern, sleek granite countertops, and plenty of cabinet space. There’s also a large closet to store everything you need.

The building offers great amenities like a 24/7 concierge, fitness center, coffee machine, lounge space, pool, and a rooftop with amazing views.

If you’re looking for a place that’s easy to commute from and offers a lot of comfort and convenience, this is a great option. Please reach out if you're interested or would like to come see it! I'd love to hear from you.

Hey! Any group of nice and out-of-shape people who play soccer and are looking for more players? Would love to join, DM if relevant:)

The H2Oboken Project is a student-run initiative funded by a Bloomberg Philanthropies grant and the City of Hoboken to curb flooding in our streets as well as expand native greenery through the use of small urban gardening kits.

All Hoboken residents can sign up for free to receive up to 6 kits with seeds and soil included! If you want to help fight flooding in our community, apply now! Questions or concerns regarding the project can be sent to h2oboken@gmail.com.

Looking to buy some christmas gifts. The person likes cute artsy things like candles and snacks and calendars and handcrafted wood things. Any recommendations for a shop like that?

Want to get a family member a giftcard / a few giftcards for classes or studios in town. Budget is around $150 and would like to get between 3-5 classes. Spin, Pilates, Rumble, rock climbing place by the viaduct, anything! Would even be willing to split it among multiple classes to mix and match ($75 for 2 classes of X, $50 for 1 class of Y, etc)

Would love your perspective / experience (positive or negative) and if there are any instructors / specific classes within the studio that you would recommend, that would be awesome, too. Thank you!!

I’ve worked at the same restaurant in Hoboken for almost 3 years and I’m starting to become unhappy with it. Was wondering if anyone knew a place that might be hiring especially around the holidays.
