Memorial Day came fast this year —considering we didn’t really get a “normal” spring — but it’s here nonetheless, and we’re pretty excited about it. Due to social distancing guidelines, the unofficial start of summer is going to be celebrated a little differently from the usual trips to the Jersey Shore or hitting up local hangout spots, but it can still be enjoyed. The cold is finally over for the most part, and that’s something worth celebrating — even if it’s just from the comfort of your own backyard or apartment.
If you’re excited about Memorial Day but aren’t sure how to celebrate quarantine-style, then keep reading to see all the Hoboken + Jersey City spots that will be open for takeout and delivery this Monday.
