Staying in jersey city is a great alternative to NYC/Hoboken. Uber through the tunnel or to the ferry and you’re in Manhattan very quickly.

I had an obligation in Hoboken a couple years back and stayed in a spare bedroom in jersey city for (I believe) $38/night.

Hoboken is so interesting. It was once a fairly poor neighborhood, but as real estate in NYC became what it is, many moved to Hoboken and now houses that were 300k when I was younger are 1mil+. The views are astounding.

Yes very nice place. You could say it’s lost some of its charm or that its greatly improved.

Originally from there and would love to go back but it’s prohibitively expensive, even for software developers!

There's also the PATH which is a subway that goes straight into Manhattan from Jersey City.
