A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Sep 3–9
Good morning, Hoboken. The humidity finally broke, which means we can officially stop pretending that the playground at 10:00 a.m. is a reasonable place to spend our mornings. Now we just have to figure out how to transition from frantic splash pad energy to whatever it is we’re supposed to do with our children for the next nine months.
In today’s list:
•  Story times return to park
•  Orthodontics host mouthguard event
•  Museum crafts explore river themes
Let’s get to it.
