Used mostly for exterior shots, you can see glimpses of Hoboken in this hysterical comedy, as its where Harold and Kumar share an apartment and call home. If you watch closely, youll spot the Welcome to Hoboken Sign, and some other familiar spots, too. If you re-watch, youll be sure to LOL at the struggles Kumar has while trying to park in Hoboken”— which was actually filmed in our neighbor to the north, Canada.
