Reader question about St. Patrick’s Day
Kathy. First time living in Hoboken during the parade. How bad will Saturday be? Should I get out of town? Or just stay away from Washington?
My response:
Stay away from Washington St from Friday PM to Sunday AM. Our part of town isn’t bad in terms of driving (basically, you can), but I am planning to take the kids on a Saturday day trip, returning in the later afternoon, when the worst of the celebrations should be over.
The biggest problem in South West Hoboken is house parties since there are relatively few bars here. Since the police are cracking down on them this year, it should be quieter, but I would still get out of town during the daytime just to be safe.
