I feel like that’s so much to do just to enjoy the water and a nice walk for half an hour, wondering if other people do similar stuff?

I live near JSQ and I often just walk downtown or bike there. It’s nice to bike into and around Liberty State Park as well. Taking PATH or the 80 bus to the waterfront near Exchange Place is an option too.
I walk down to the water all the time. Did it yesterday. Then take the train home if you're too tired to walk back. Sometimes walk to Hoboken.
Via is also an option. It takes forever but it’s $2 to get around jersey
I went through your exact same thought process and ended up picking JSQ. I love it and take the path all the time as my primary means of transpo. Highly recommend.
Journal Square has great places, too.
People here just focus on downtown places because a lot of us are car-free people who live downtown. But Journal Square has all sorts of amazing shops, restaurants and historic sites of its own.
Fairly soon you'll have nice places to walk to on the Hackensack River too! And that's closer to Journal Square.
Yes but the walk isn't that bad, either.
a little rough getting back up that hill on Newark though
Electric Citi bikes ftw
Yeah dude, people take walks.
Glad I wasn’t the only one lol!!
Figured it’d be a little unsafe!!
Uh oh.. hills :-(
Depends on the time of day.
If you're drunk at night, yeah, but otherwise not that bad :)
It's 2022, ebikes my dude
I used to work in NYC and live in JSQ. My gym and friends were in downtown JC. So I used to do this almost every day of the week. And it was super easy.
And if I was specifically looking to go for a walk on waterfront, I used to take the exchange place path from JSQ.
And if you are using the path more, having an unlimited smartlink path card comes out to be cheaper than paying per trip. There is a break even point where the number of trips justify the price. I don't remember at the top my head.
Yes.
People walk, bike or take PATH to/from EX/Grove and JSQ all the time. The walk down Newark Ave is pretty straightforward. Personally, I prefer walking through the neighborhoods more than walking along the waterfront, but the latter is also quite nice.
There's also a decent amount to do around JSQ. Little India, Freetown Road, etc. I suggest walking around the Heights as well.
This is the way
Just stumbled in here randomly. I lived in the heights 15 years ago, and JSQ was total garbage. Glad to hear that it's nicer there now!
