A Little List
Everything for Hoboken parents, in one little list · Sep 6–12
Good morning, Hoboken. The humidity finally broke just in time for the sidewalks to become even more congested with the back-to-school crush. If you can successfully navigate a double stroller through the Madonna dei Martiri crowds this weekend, you deserve an award more substantial than a funnel cake.
In today’s list:
•  Art in the Park festival
•  Free Hoboken mouthguard clinic
•  Family leave legal workshop
Let’s get to it.
