Exploring Weehawken, New Jersey. A Pleasant Town with the Best New York City Views

I take the ferry across the Hudson River to spend a day exploring Weehawken, NJ. The town has the best Manhattan skyline views that stretch from the George Washington Bridge all the way to Lower Manhattan and beyond. For lunch, I get pizza at Romano Pizza and then check out the historic Weehawken Water Tower. Next, I explore Hamilton Park and the infamous dueling grounds. This was the sight of Alexander Hamilton’s and Arron Burr’s duel. After that, I check out some of the town’s beautiful homes before taking the ferry back to NYC.

We only lived in Weehawken for about a year, but will always treasure the experience of getting off the bus on Boulevard East at night and seeing that stunning skyline. Also? Commuting to lower Manhattan on the ferry was THE HANDS DOWN best experience ever. Miss that so much. Signed, a California Girl who will always have a part of her heart that belongs to NYC.

Nice! Yeah, that view was epic! And the ferry was so easy and convenient, but combined with the amazing NYC skyline made it an incredible ride!

Hamilton

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

lived , and grew up in Weehawken ,Graduated Weehawken High in 78, believe me you didnt even touch what its about, best town in that area in my opinion, you focused on the views, but walk the neighborhoods it has an amazing history

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, I really enjoyed the area! I'll definitely have to spend some more time in the neighborhoods during my next visit.

[@abesapien9930]

I am enjoying your channel content a lot. I feel like your solo journeys is something I would do myself. No huge plan, just walking, getting a bite to eat, etc.

[@Jamesnu]

Thanks! That makes me happy to hear!

[@tomahern8967]

Great video James! Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@juangarcia-gv2jy]

After watching this great video I definitely want to go to Weehawken and take some pictures of the stunning Manhattan skyline, especially at sunset.

[@Jamesnu]

Absolutely! The views are epic!

[@s_przybylowicz]

Hurray for Hamilton! I liked the old rock.

[@Jamesnu]

I had a lot of Hamilton songs stuck in my head on this day.

[@ashhww]

I love this part of NJ!!!🤍

[@Jamesnu]

It's a great area!

I'm from the EU living in L.A but I've bought a house on King ave. early this year , renovated it and moved in 2 months ago. I'm not planning to move out of L.A yet but I'll stay till january because I'll fly in my family and relatives and host a x-mass/NY dinner/party to show of my new house, But once I'll have children I'll probably move here permanently since its a good place to raise a family. Its pretty much a subburb with one of the greates views you'd imagine especially on the evenings next to one of the most populated cities in the world. Also its pretty safe if the sea levels rise :).and a safe place per se. There aren't that many good food places apart some pizza places but thats why you've Manhattan for. The only things that aren't great about that place are the property tax, mcdonalds not delivering to my house even tho white castle that is farther away does. and the train noises, i don't hear them since i grew up close enough to a train station to hear the trains sometimes but it sure must bother some people considering they're lie 30 below our houses.

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed! It's a nice place. Although, it's not perfect, but it has a lot going for it. Plus, the ferry is so easy to take and get to Manhattan.

[@matthaze]

Romano Pizza is some of the best pizza in NJ!

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, it was pretty good!

[@emjackson2289]

Did you visit the Democratic Order of Planets whilst in Weehawken, NJ? (Futurama ref). I like the Hudson shore of NJ, it looks an amazing place to visit along with Hoboken.

[@Jamesnu]

Haha! Yeah, the coast of NJ is fantastic area! The views alone make it worth checking out!

[@arielallerhand3389]

Thanks for the upload. How do I get to Manhattan? As a tourist without a car. Which ferry and until when?

[@Jamesnu]

Thanks for watching! I took the NY Waterway ferry from the Midtown / W. 39th St. ferry stop to Port Imperial in Weehawken. The boats run very frequently throughout the day so you won’t have any problem catching one.

[@adrianacepeda1646]

Hey! you can also take the bus to Port Authority. Its a 15min ride and 3.50.

[@mattysit3226]

Love Weehawken so much… what’s your favorite place you ever visited?

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed! Weehawken is a great place! That's a hard question. I've been to a lot of places that I've loved! I'm really happy living in NYC, but I've really enjoyed my trips to Paris and Spain.

[@mattysit3226]

@@Jamesnu Nice! I’ve lived in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and North Jersey (Fort Lee) for 8 years and there’s so much I miss about everything. What’s your favorite place you’ve been to in the NYC area? Also you should check out Fort Lee the town has some pretty great food spots.

[@Jamesnu]

@@mattysit3226 I've heard great things about Fort Lee! I hope to check it out soon. I really like Hoboken. It's a nice looking city with good food! I recently went to Greenwich, CT and really enjoyed my time there. There's still so many places around NYC for me to visit!

[@Fordie47]

There seems to be nothing at all to explore in Weehawken except the fabulous skyline of Manhattan. Weehawken seems to be a No Man's Land bumped up against the Land of Everyman. Perhaps Weehawken is a fluke. I would choose to explore Brooklyn Heights instead. Same spectacular views, but much spectacular activity going on over there as well.

[@Jamesnu]

I hear you, the views of Manhattan where easily my highlight for Weehawken. Brooklyn Heights is great and the views of Lower Manhattan are far superior. However, the Midtown Manhattan views combined with the elevation of Weehawken are incomparable. Still, I agree, the town doesn't have the energy of NYC, but I still enjoyed my time there.

[@Jamesnu]

@mark watson You’re right! It isn’t NYC. It’s just that when Manhattan is minutes away it can be hard not to think of NYC.

[@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974]

Nice

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you!

[@mellowdiikiyarii.931]

A "pleasant" town. Just remember that Phillip Hamilton and Alexander Hamilton died there :DD

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed!

Is it windy and boring?

[@Jamesnu]

A little windy, but with a view like that, it was definitely not boring.

[@williamarrascue2369]

Well, you've got more views from the big city but not enough from the town...

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, I wish I had more time to spend in the town and explore.

yeah! another upload. I wanted to let you know that I showed your previous beef sandwich vlog to my bf and we managed to make our own at home as the sandwich affected him too! haha edit:what's awesome view.. it's cool to feel a different vibe so close to you to visit. I like the vibes in NJ.edit edit: how long is the ferry ride? the sunset on the buildings was beautiful. also congrats on having bots! you must be getting in the algorithm!!! haha

[@Jamesnu]

Haha! Thanks! Yeah, the views were amazing! It’s really nice too since the ferry ride only takes about 6 minutes, so it’s a real easy place to get to. That’s awesome about the sandwich! I still dream about that sandwich. It was definitely one of the best things I’ve eaten so far this year!
