Holiday

The competition is fierce when it comes to having the most creative Halloween decorations in Jersey City and Hoboken.

As I walked through Broad Street on my way home with presents and giftwrap in hand, I found myself longing for a memory that now has become a rose-tinted fantasy.

With the Thanksgiving season officially upon us, Hoboken residents will have plenty of opportunities to give back to the community and can also look forward to the return of some great local traditions.

While barbeques and fireworks will likely take center stage this weekend, history buffs can also locally explore Hudson County's connection to the holiday by visiting these historical Revolutionary War spots.
