Memorial Day has always been a day of meditation for me. Although I haven’t lost anyone important in the line of duty, I did have a grandfather who once served in the U.S. Navy in World War II, as well as a few close friends that are currently fighting in Iraq. I can’t even imagine what it would feel to lose someone important, but as we’ve all seen, many people have experienced loss. I was honored to attend this year’s Hoboken Memorial Day Parade, as I got a glimpse of those who have fought for us and remembering the fallen soldiers who have died for our nation’s service. To all those that have fought for our country, I raise our flag to you. Here’s a glimpse of this year’s parade.

To the Hoboken bar-hoppin’ veterans, Black Bear is well-known for the perfect spot to meet up with friends, watch some sports on 1 of the 42 television screens and enjoy a nice, big bucket of some of the most delicious wings in the mile square.

Every Thursday night at 8:00pm, Black Bear teams up with Budweiser to sign up 32 intoxicated men and women to battle each other off in the most elegant and profound conflict resolution games of our childhood days. Check out this epic Thursday night battle!

We can all admit that there are probably no Hoboken bars that come close to a Dave & Busters. However, I’m proud to say that the Mile Square does have its fair share of adult playgrounds that will keep us both entertained and more importantly, well-intoxicated. Many Hoboken friends offered recommendations for beginning my quest with the most obvious of playful watering holes. With that being said, let’s start this mission for the best bar games and rec rooms with my friend’s local favorite dive bar, 8th Street Tavern.

Hoboken’s Castle Point Skate Park

Don’t laugh. But back in the day, I owned a kick-ass Batman skateboard. However, I never really used it. Why? Probably because we never had any nearby skate parks. C’mon, I could have been the next Tony Hawk! If you’re looking to pickup this sport or if you can rock a half-pipe, check out this park. If skating isn’t your forté, this park is still worth a visit just to watch the fearless boarders pull off some nasty tricks.
