BRB, The Hoboken Girl Team Is Going on Summer Break ('til July 13th!)

Summer is officially in full swing, and with July comes our annual reminder: it’s okay to unplug. Our team will be pressing pause from July 6th through July 13th to rest, recharge, and relax on our official TLG summer break.

We always say that creating fun, local, and meaningful content is our favorite part of the job, but even as storytellers, we need a little reset now and then. Taking this intentional break helps us come back energized with fresh ideas for you, our amazing community.

A few pre-scheduled posts will still go out here and there, but our OOO will be up, and you’ll likely hear back from us when we’re back to business as usual the week of July 13th. In the meantime, feel free to send tips to [email protected] or @thehobokengirl on social platforms — we’ll check them upon our return.

We know most media outlets never really stop, but we’ve learned that intentional breaks make our work (and our well-being) better in the long run. Maybe this is your sign to take one too: read that book, hit the beach, take a spontaneous day trip, binge Love Island, or just do nothing — guilt-free.

See you soon,
The Hoboken Girl Team

Our Real Estate Directory

Our real estate directory is a user-friendly approach to local real estate searches for living in the tri-state area of NYC, NJ, and beyond (we call it our Cutie Cra*gslist). The directory has amazing properties year-round, but for this week only, you can list your rentals, sublets, sales, and more for FREE using code TLGJULY26. Get started here.

List your property for rent/sublet, vacation rent, or for sale
Search for free for listings in any area or type of property
Inquire directly with the seller/landlord/agent/owner

Send any feedback or inquiries to [email protected]. You can also use the code TLGJULY26 for a free listing in the directory the week we’re away.

Our Jobs Platform

We also have a local jobs board that’s an amazing resource for job seekers and those who are looking to hire candidates. Local businesses are frequently posting open roles and opportunities — and local talent can even upload a resume on our candidates page. For this week only, you can post a job or upload your resume completely for FREE using code TLGJULY26. Get started here.

Local Deals

Much of our OOO plans include shopping small, and there’s no better place to start than The Local Girl’s deals directory. Click here to browse deals from local Hoboken, Jersey City, and Northern New Jersey businesses (they’re amazing, promise!).
