Her roots in the area extend to her maternal grandparents, who owned two textile factories in Weehawken and North Bergen. When not planning the next Hoboken Girl event/volunteer project or editing her life away, she can usually be found shopping at local boutiques, eating an Insta-worthy meal, walking her French bulldog + rescue pup, or watching the latest murder doc on Netflix with her husband.
Also, the Newport 10K race was held in JC this morning. It was the NJ men’s & women’s championship, so there were some regional elite runners taking part. I would’ve run the race, but didn’t know about it until yesterday. http://www.newport10k.com
