what's happening in hoboken...

ahhh, summer in hoboken... the city quiets down as many flock to the jersey shore and other beach locales. what to do if you are city bound this weekend? here are 3 suggestions to enjoy the sunny weather & neighborhood feel of our mile square city...

**it's time for the 97th annual st ann's italian festival (7/20 to 7/26) where you'll find entertainment nightly, yummy food, crafts, rides & raffles...

**right around the corner from st ann's, on monroe street (#720), you'll find a much welcomed new addition to the neighborhood-- the cheese store, featuring cheeses from all over, charcuterie, olives, sandwiches and more. i just enjoyed (on the second day of chung park's new business) a wonderful fresh mozzarella, basil and roasted pepper sandwich on a baguette. yum!

**stroll no further, in the same location (monroe center for the arts), to visit rubee's closet -- for an amazing sale (up to 50%) on clothes and accessories through the month of july. after my first visit to the store when i met lovely & stylish owner beverly, i am a devoted shopper. today i bought another drifter long sleeved, layered & patterned tee-shirt at a ridiculously low price.
