Hoboken thrives on a large community of talented experts ranging from the mysterious 14th Street Dancer to the cool dudes of Bustin Boards who make really rad skateboards for a living.

Before I get into writing this review, let me explain myself for the lack of activity on my blog. Yes, I haven’t posted here since September. All I have to say is that life has been a struggle for me the past couple of months. When life is nothing but a train wreck, one must keep their head up and do everything possible to make oneself better. Needless to say, I’m still slowly getting back in the hang of this all. I truly miss writing and exploring Hoboken for you all and I’ll be adding posts more regularly from now on. I’m also thinking about a blog redesign pretty soon too, so be on the look out for that this year. But I digress.

And it’s the official #1 comfort food in my book, especially during times when you gotta cure that hangover. Seriously. What isn’t more comforting than a big bowl of pasta and loads of melted cheese? Yes, I’m talking about that good, old fashioned mac and cheese. And so far, when it comes to finding the best place to enjoy this classic American dish, no place in Hoboken has come close to Backyard’s Bistro Mac & Chez. Simply stated – it is to DIE for.

When you’re looking for the best mozzarella in Hoboken, it’s a mandatory requirement to buy from Fiore’s Deli. Fiore’s has been making fresh mozz for more than 96 years, perfecting the timing when the curd is ready to be stretch and shaped into those fancy thick braids. But this review is not just about their famous mozzarella. This is about Thursdays and Saturdays. This is about double-parked cars and long lines of hungry Hobokenites and outsiders who travel by and far to get a bite of one of the best sandwiches of all the mile square. It’s about an insanely addicting sandwich that has even landed a guest appearance in a scene from the popular TV show, 30 Rock. Yes, my friends. I’m talking about Fiore’s famous Roast Beef, Fresh Mozzarella and Gravy Hero. Just saying the name of the sandwich brings back that amazing taste. Yum!
