picture this—you're on a refurbished pier along the Lower Hudson River seated in a lounge chair, iced beverage in hand, as the New York City skyline glows a crimson gold from the fading light of a summer sunset. Thanks to Darren Conway this dreamlike scenario has become a reality. Darren, alongside his Managing Partner Rebecca Tarantino, has spent the last few years working to bring a lively, summer retreat to the Hoboken waterfront in the form of Pier 13. Read on as Darren walks us through the history + inspiration for Pier 13, as well as improvements for this season!
A North Jersey native introduced to ‘Mile Square City’ years ago, Jen Casson, first created Hoboken Girl as a New Year’s resolution in an effort to break herself of what she calls ‘Four Block Radius Syndrome.’ Now, with three years + lots of exploring under her belt, both Jen and HobokenGirl.com have become the staple source for all things Hoboken. And as we opened #hgHoboken, we had to hear her take on this lively city.
