I was excited to finally catch an outdoor performance of William Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” in Hoboken’s waterfront Sinatra Park last night. “The Winter’s Tale” was performed by the very talented actors and actresses from the Hudson Shakespeare Company (HSC). A great crowd of Hoboken locals gathered outside on this beautiful day to watch this highly entertaining performance. A big congrats to all the actors and actresses who brought to life this classic Shakespearean fairy tale.

I don’t know about you but I love the 80’s. Who doesn’t? I mean, we had Madonna, Alf, Knight Rider, Trapper Keepers, Rubik’s Cubes, Slap Bands and most importantly, bad hair and hideous clothing! Well, if you’re looking to relive the days of side pony-tails and mesh tank top tees, then watching the whirlwind comedy production of Bartholomew Fair, NJ is a must! With only five hysterical actors performing over 20 different quirky characters, you’re in for 80 delirious minutes of delightful hijinks. Performing last summer, this theatrical treat is back by popular demand. The best part is that it’s FREE (donations will be accepted) and open to all ages!

With the beautiful sunny weather this weekend, there couldn’t have been a better day to hold the 4th annual OLG Funfest. Sponsored by Our Lady of Grace and St. Joseph’s Church, the festival took place at Church Square Park, where Hoboken and Hudson County residents got to spend time with family and enjoy some delicious food, arts and crafts, pony rides and carnival games. It’s summer events like these that make Hoboken a great city to live in. And although I didn’t win any cool stuffed animals, I did have a great time taking photos at the event and meeting some really cool peeps. Check out some of my snapshots from this event!

Best Bar Games & Rec Rooms: Duffy’s

As I continued my quest for the best adult rec rooms across the mile square, I had come to a realization that I forgot to review one of my town favorites. When I’m looking for a nice spot to relax after work and pound a few of those drink specials, I head over to the small friendly neighborhood Irish pub better known as Duffy’s. I’m a big fan of great bars that sit off of Washington Street because they don’t get too crowded and you’ll usually meet some really friendly Hobokenites rather than the rude out-of-towners that tend to crawl the popular Washington Street bars. But if there’s two main things I love about Duffy’s: the great bartenders and the little nook of darts and buck hunter!
