look into harrison as well! definitely on the quieter side except when there’s soccer games due to the red bull arena. it also has the PATH train which makes it pretty easy to get to places in lower manhattan like the word trade center and all the way up to 33rd street with lots of places to make connections in the subway. def would recommend the train over driving

Harrison, good call. My recommendation...train over the bus. More reliable, less prone to traffic delays.
Get a train map and look at towns one or two stops from the Hoboken station, in no particular order, Lyndhurst, Secaucus, Woodridge, Hackensack come to mind. The train ride might be 20 mins +/-, but you get a helluva lot more bang for your buck. Rush-hour traffic is a bear, so what might be a 20 minute ride one day, can be a 60 minute ride the next.
You will need a car for most places.
As for racism, New Jerseyans support equal opportunity, we hate everyone the same. 🤪 We can be loud and gruff but most of us are fair. If you hear something that sounds racist, make sure you're not mistaking our intolerance of nonsense for true hatred. Most New Jerseyans would give you the shirt off their back to help you, but if you drive too slowly in the left lane or fail to make a "right on red" be ready to hear some very nasty words.
