Hoboken is fucked on a normal day! Fun fact, there are only like 3 ways to get out of Hoboken by car. Fuck that place.

To the south by the Holland Tunnel maybe. There's like, 7 ways to get out of Hoboken by car.

To the south there is 1 way, it all funnels onto 1 street. Then there is the one street that climbs onto the cliffs also kind of on the south side. On the north side there is that elevated road and I think that's pretty much it. I lived near the south of it so not very familiar with the north exits.

You can take Marin, Grove, or Jersey Ave. Yeah they all cross 14th street but you don’t need to use 14th to get out. You can go down through DTJC go Columbus. Or straight shot Jersey Ave to Liberty State Park.

On the north you can take 14th to Manhattan/Paterson Plan, or Park or Willow up through Weehawken to get to 495.

Marin, Grove and Jersey all feed off Newark so to me that's your bottleneck and in my mind that's a single street that everyone needs to take or cross and crossing it is no easy task.

I mean, Hoboken is a grid so by that definition every street is a bottleneck. Have to cross 1st if you live above it. And 2nd. Have to cross Washington if you live east if it. Etc.

And with luck, you may or may not hit Lincoln tunnel traffic when you go that way.. mostly may.

I had a girlfriend who lived in Hoboken and she would always complain how I never visited her and that's the reason why?!?!

Her excuse for not visiting me when I lived on the UES of Manhattan was there was never any parking 🤣

Why would anyone drive from Hoboken to the UES (and vice versa)?

When we'd visit one another we'd stay over the weekend and go somewhere during the weekend.

We didn't like using mass transit on the weekends since it was an erratic and not as consistent schedule.

And the amount of time it takes to find parking wasn't erratic? I guess if you have the money it's better but I'd save the toll, gas, parking payments for the slightly longer weekend headways.

Finding parking wasn't an issue since she'd just pop into the parking garage underneath my apartment.

She just hated driving to visit though I never thought it was that bad of a drive?! Holland Tunnel then straight up the East Side Hwy?!

Because it takes 1.5 hours by path an subway to get from one place to the other.

Huh? Hoboken to 33rd is 15 minutes. Then you take the Q and even up to 96th street that's only another 15 minutes.

Even if you're taking the L and the 6 that's 50 minutes tops
