Good Times For Music-Lovers in Hoboken
Ah, Maxwell’s. This is one of my favorite spots in Hoboken to pass the time away. Besides the chill vibe, I love the pockets of variety it offers. When gathering a group of people with different ideas of fun, options are important. Maxwell’s on Washington Street has a hanger for your coat, food and drink, a funky jukebox with soul, a questionable VIP lounge and a back room for live music. What’s not to dig about this joint?
The first time I ventured to this street corner establishment, I met friends for dinner and drinks where we chatted up the friendly people at the bar. Good times. On the return visit I went to see a band, which was a completely different yet pleasurable experience. Good times again. There will be a third exposure. I just don’t know when.

Wednesdays At The Junkyard
Walking into the bar at Austin’s Restaurant, you could easily assume you just entered an average sit-and-sip bar. Complete with a few booths, Deer Hunter game, and Touch Tune jukebox, Austin’s could make an unwitting patron content to pull up a seat and just unwind. On weekend nights, the first floor bar is busy, but not crowded. If a greater level of privacy (and food) is desired, you can cross the bar and head into the dining room. The menu features a Texas BBQ-style variety from burgers and wraps, to sizzling steaks and chops…
But that’s not why I’m here tonight.

Color Me Delighted
One of the many benefits of living in Hudson West as opposed to Manhattan is access to more spacious living situations, with actual rooms (yes, plural). UNLESS, you’re like me and you live with roommates (yes, plural), one of whom is a tall, obtrusive Canadian that skips rope and hangs his underwear in our shared space.
What does this have to do with new Hoboken restaurant / jazz venue, Shades of Hoboken? Two weekends ago, my mom was up from D.C. for a visit, and we were confined to my bedroom because of the Canadian’s antics. After going a little stir-crazy, we decided to venture down to the street for something to eat and for relief from our foul moods.
I decided to try out Shades, a new spot in the Monroe Center on 720 Monroe Street.

Will All The Fat Girls Please Stand Up?
Editor’s Note: Local Rumor has it that Park City closed down following an, all-night,$5 open-bar party. Stay tuned for details…
Park City is the place to go for live music – the kind of place where you have to shove your way through the crowds to get yourself another bottle of Bud Light – since the last one spilled while you were jumping up and down with the crowd during a performance by The Benjamins, Bitter X, or The Nerds.
