Living in Hoboken and Jersey City, we know that the social media landscape has been quite oversaturated by accounts in the last few years — from everything ranging from food to skyline views to sunsets. But where to turn to find quality content on Instagram in Hoboken and Jersey City {besides @HobokenGirlBlog of course!}? We’ve rounded up our top 10 local IG accounts you *need* to follow — unique, quality content that is sure to brighten your feeds. Here’s the list:
1. @LoveontheHudson
Inspired by a couple that had a photographer surprise them with a candid pic, @LoveontheHudson is paying it forward by creepin’ on people’s swoon-worthy private moments. Check in often to see if they caught you showing some love… along the Hudson.
2. @Stoopoken
Created to highlight the beauty of Hoboken’s urban spaces adorned with flowers and greens, @Stoopoken is a perfect mini escape from the concrete jungle. The account features local — you guessed it — stoops and urban gardens and is bound to make you want to head outside STAT.
3. @tiny_and_hungry
How much can two girls under 5 foot eat? You’re about to find out…
4. @Gmandle1
We discovered George Mandle’s eye for a beautiful IG snap and edit several months back, and our feeds have never been the same since. His colorful edits + local snaps are sure to inspire with their vibrant colors around Hoboken and Jersey City.
5. @NJpizzagirls
While they don’t cover *just* Hudson County, the @NJpizzagirls are worth a mention, as they are on a quest to taste pizza all over the Garden State {and beyond}. It’s worth a follow, promise.
6. @AboveHoboken
All shots taken via drone thanks to local resident Jeremy Salazar — a really unique perspective on our every day Mile Square views.
7. @OverheardHoboken
We’re not sure we 100% believe all of these {a la GS Elevator #tbt}, but OverheardHoboken chronicles unforgettable {or forgettable, hopefully} phrases heard around the Mile Square.
8. @WildJerseyCity
The juxtaposition of urban scenes versus nature makes for some pretty awesome shots…especially when an English bulldog is involved.
9. @When.In.JC
With a tag line alluding to their dinner rezzies, you can be sure that this JC IG will be nothing but food. Small but mighty in their following, the photos don’t lie — these meals are legit. #JCcometoMAMA
10. @vintage_jc
Run by blogger ChicpeaJC, @vintage_JC showcases old school photos of Jersey City submitted by readers for the ultimate #TBT experience, Chilltown-style.
