(Hoboken, NJ) July 30, 2020 – The Hoboken Business Alliance (HBA) issued a reminder today that its Summer Streets program to attract and engage residents and visitors to safely shop, dine, and enjoy the Mile Square will take place uptown on 14th Street and downtown by Hoboken Terminal today, Thursday, July 30, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday, August 2, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The program provides Hoboken businesses in the designated areas the opportunity to further expand their space outdoors and allow for more physical distancing.

In coordination with the Hoboken Police Department and Department of Transportation, Summer Streets will take place on Thursday evenings and Sundays through October, in several different locations. Every Summer Streets event will have tables set up throughout the street where local restaurants can take orders and serve guests, and many shops will have items on display outside available for purchase. All attendees are instructed to adhere to social distancing and mask guidelines to stay safe, as well as call ahead for a reservation at any of the local establishments or restaurants, if possible, to avoid overcrowding.
