The internet loves Matthew McConaughey and so do we, here are some of his best internet moments.

  Another Hoboken St. Patrick’s day in Hoboken is in the books. Dozens of $2,000 public drinking and urination tickets were issued and the Hoboken 411 up-to-the-minute police blotter is absolutely bizarre.

• The Perfect Party Playlist On Spotify

  In Hoboken / 23 January 2013 / 0 comments

  

  If you need a rockin’ playlist this is it. Seriously stop looking. Here is the official playlist of RSVLTS.com’s “Sorry For Partying NYE 2013″ throwdown in Hoboken. Sure, NYE was almost one month ago but all the smiles int he photos below are a direct result of the playlist. And unlimited booze. 97 tracks, 6 hours. Club bangers and feel good sing alongs. Throw it on shuffle or start it from the top. Fun fact. If you press play at exactly 9pm three hours later the hook of Alesso’s “Calling” will kick in exactly at midnight. It took hours and hours to get the timing just right but I did it. To top it all off, I added a 12 second cross fade so all the songs blend with no down time. Playlist perfection.

• 25 Bands We Want To See Perform At Hoboken’s Pier A In Summer 2013

  In Hoboken, Music / 21 December 2012 / 0 comments

  

  2013 is right around the corner which means it’s time to start thinking about summer concerts on Pier A in Hoboken. Yes, concerts, with an ‘s.’ Before this past summer’s Mumford & Sons concert we spoke to a Hoboken councilman named David Mello and he told us that the town is considering doing two concerts per year, most-likely in July and August. There is considerable planning that goes into producing a show of this magnitude so it’s never too late to start suggesting bands. We did a survey of friends living in and around Hoboken and here are the bands they want to see play. Each band had to fit the ballpark price of Mumford & Sons, which is roughly $100-150k. Obviously with the destruction Hurricane Sandy brought to Hoboken we figure the bands might even consider taking less money and donating proceeds from the show to victims, just a thought. We’re going to be sending this list to Hoboken politicians and local media so if you have a band you’d like to see let us know about it in the comments, there is a good chance your suggestion will be seen and considered. Thanks to Krysten, Rob, Drew, Anthony, Chad, Sean and Jameel more »

  [ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: NOVEMBER 2, 2012] If there is a “homebase” of RSVLT.com it is certainly Hoboken, NJ. We sponsored the Back To Hoboken Bar Crawl, threw the official Mumford & Sons concert pre-party and even launched the RSVLTS.com X Hoboken channel. We are pretty devastated by the reports coming out of the Mile Square and now, as the town attempts to clean up, we can finally take a look at the destruction left by Hurricane Sandy. It may look back by teh people of Hoboken are resilient and there is no doubt that the city will band together and bounce back stronger than ever.

  [ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: NOVEMBER 1, 2012] During the summer Manasquan, NJ is a second home to thousands of people living in and around Hoboken and NYC. Squan took the brunt of Hurricane Sandy’s wrath and we are all curious to see if our houses and favorite places like Gee Gee’s, Leggett’s, Osprey and others are still standing. After looking at the hundreds of photos posted to the Borough of Manasquan’s Facebook page it’s safe to say that the town is uninhabitable, but not lost. Check out the pictures below to assess the damage for yourself.

  In Hoboken / 5 October 2012 / 0 comments

  

  We’re all familiar with New York City’s greatest new park, the High Line, but one small group of architects in New York is re-imagining that concept and throwing it underground. The Low Line project is the result of this small community based initiative to get more green space in New York. Co founders James Ramsey and Dan Barasch plan on re-appropriating an old abandoned trolly station on Delancy Street on the Lower East Side into a new subterranean green space.

  …and this is why we choose to throw all our events in Hoboken. This ranking shouldn’t take anyone by surprise, just a few years ago Hoboken was ranked the #1 city for singles in the U.S. by CNN. But don’t let this latest report fool you. It’s not just about promiscuity. The real takeaway here is Hoboken residents value a good time more than anything else. 1,200 person bar crawls.  Mumford & Sons concert pre-party. NFL Sunday Fundays. If you build fun they will come.

  With Formula One’s 2011 champion David Coulthard behind the wheel of the 1000 horse power RB7 Red Bull Racing completed their tour of New Jersey and New York City. It all started at Liberty State Park offering spectacular views of the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Then the RB7 moved to West New York and Weehawken, New Jersey which will be home of the much anticipated Grand Prix of America Formula 1 race in June 2013. It must have been quite a sight to see a F-1 car ripping down the local street at nearly 200 mph. To wrap things up Coulthard flew through the Lincoln Tunnel at over 200 mph into New York City. Save the date, the Grand Prix of American is coming June 2013 to Weehawken and West New York, NJ and it will be an event that New Jersey and New York City never forget.

  Last night we grabbed drinks at Wicked Wolf with the founder Hoboken’s wildly popular Back To Hoboken Bar Crawl and we couldn’t figure out why Hoboken doesn’t have a swanky roof top pool lounge. Is it too much to ask for a place where people who don’t head to Manasquan every summer weekend can stop by to have a few drinks, catch some rays and take a dip? Hoboken may be a bust but there are plenty of swanky pool lounges in New York City. Our favorite is the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel roof top, you’ll recall our epic night with Microsoft and Maxim a few weeks back, but there are also five more gems that are open to the public you should check out before the summer is over.
