A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Sep 4–10
Good morning, Hoboken. The humidity has finally broken, which means the collective rush to the parks has reached a level of intensity that borders on a contact sport. We are officially in that strange limbo where the back-to-school schedule is in full swing, but the waterfront still feels like the middle of August.
In today’s list:
•  Museum hosts youth sculpture workshop
•  Madonna dei Martiri festival arrives
•  Hoboken Orthodontics offers mouthguard fittings
Let’s get to it.
