Mangia Hoboken!
Every Saturday afternoon, I’m sure many of you have been in the situation where you’re hungry and would love to try something new, but your options are so plentiful that you become overwhelmed and resort to sticking with something familiar. Well Mangia Hoboken! has a solution to this age-old problem. Their tours leave every Saturday at 2PM and last about 3 and a half hours. In that relatively short period of time you will visit a number of local favorites (including the now-famous Carlo’s City Hall Bakery, home of the Cake Boss). These tours offer behind-the-scenes looks at a number of bakeries, pizzerias, and traditional Italian ‘ristorantes.’ For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit: http://www.hobokenfoodtour.com
