What were some of your earliest Hoboken memories?
Many of us who call Hoboken their home – used to visit the city before they moved here.
Whether it was one of the many nice restaurants, or perhaps a bar by the PATH station, I’m sure there’s a couple places that stick out as your earliest memories.
Some of my original flashbacks include ONieal’s, Ted & Jo’s (which is becoming Johnny Pepperoni), Cadillac Bar (gone), and more. But this image sticks in my head because it was a spot we drove past often on the way to find parking (which was much easier back in the day!) And even though 7-Star(s) Pizza was remodeled a bit in recent years – still has a very similar look and feel that it did way back then.

A bit embarrassed to admit this, but I do recall going to Planet Hoboken a few times prior to moving here. A more wild, free-spirited time before everyone was stressed out.

When i went to high school across the street that spot was occupied by a place called the copper kettle aka “the pit”and eddie pi would not allow me or any of my friends in to buy anything. For while there was a big window where they would serve my favorite sno-cones. the food was crap.

My first memories of Hoboken are of my dad bringing me as a well behaved 6 year old to to the shooting range back on Madison. Great place and great people. It was actually one of the first places I went after I moved back to NJ. Bummer that I can’t go spend an hour a couple times a week doing some target practice or chatting anymore. “Progress”

The Copper Kettle (The Pit) is correct, but Eddie had mostly Sinatra records in the jukebox. They were great times.

Miss Kitty’s I loved that place. I miss that place. The owner was such a sweetheart.

Owner of Miss Kitty’s was great, but the hands-down winner of best owner/proprietor has got to be the guy who owned Carmelita Cafe. Great guy. Friendly, talented in the kitchen, etc. Shame they left. Best Mexican food this town’s had in forever.

I forgot all about Carmelita Cafe. He was a doll. The food was fantastic. Was that the place with the fried ice cream? Do you remember why they closed?,cause I can’t.
