Thanksgiving Exodus from Hoboken
Posted by: Hoboken411 at 05:57 am on November 21, 2012
The biggest travel day of the year
Holidays like Thanksgiving may be great – catching up with family and enjoying a nice dinner while appreciating what you have in life.
However, like many good things there’s always a downside, and that’s that everyone is schlepping around simultaneously to get where they’re going. Hopefully you’re one of the smart ones and have planned accordingly to make your trip a stress-free one!
Here’s a few tidbits to consider as we begin the holiday weekend countdown:
- Working today? Traveling today? If your travel plans haven’t been set in stone – think about the following. If you’re about to go to work, maybe you should call in sick and avoid the mass-transit mayhem that takes place between 12pm and 6pm today (really peaks around 3pm). All the major transit hubs (bus, rail) will be chaotic. Especially with the PATH station closed after Hurricane Sandy. If you’re stuck at work all day – perhaps staying put till later tonight (or grabbing a drink at a local pub?) might help you avoid the mess. Otherwise – you knew what to expect, so hope you have patience!
- Leaving Hoboken? LOCK UP!! If you’re heading out of town – even if just for a few days, be sure you’ve properly secured your apartments. And especially those with ground-floor or basement apartments (that weren’t already trashed), ensure your windows are locked, and air conditioners should have been removed by now (criminals love kicking them in for easy access). Last thing you want to find out when you return is that you’ve been victimized by a burglar.
- Staying in Hoboken? One thing you can be happy about if you’re remaining put in the Mile Square, is that parking regulations are generally suspended until Monday. This means the parking racket like Fox 5 News further exposed is on hold and you should have no problem finding a spot!
Be safe & sound everyone!

I was on the turnpike and gsp between 9 & 11 am it was heavy and starting to build. A lot of cars and vans loaded with families in both directions so be careful. These interlopers are not regular turnpike drivers and are confused, lost and love the left lanes at the legal speed limit.

“…parking regulations are suspended until Monday.”
Is this true? I can’t find this confirmed on the Hoboken website.
