On February 7th, the ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey return to our screens for the highly-anticipated Season 13 premiere. With the introduction of two new housewives, the ongoing Gorga-Guidice feud, and Teresa’s wedding hair (enough said), loyal fans predict this season will be the juiciest yet. At the table before it’s flipped, we’ve rounded up a list of spots in Hudson County + beyond that the housewives have visited just for some Jersey fun. Read on for a stroll down memory lane (read: a very over-the-limit drive down the NJ turnpike) + get excited for the drama to come in RHONJ Season 13.
The Lola | 102 Sinatra Drive, Hoboken
Back in November of 2022, The Lola held its grand opening at 102 Sinatra Drive with the help of RHONJ veteran Melissa Gorga + her husband Joe. While there wasn’t a live performance of “On Display,” the Gorgas did enjoy their fair share of shots and pineapple bevies at the Hoboken cocktail lounge downtown.

Tenth Street Pizza | 1000 Willow Avenue, Hoboken
Even the least knowledgeable RHONJ fan knows this little bit of Hoboken history. Local fave Tenth Street Pizza was formerly owned by The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Chris Manzo, son of former housewife Caroline Manzo. HG spent a day at the pizzeria with Chris back in 2018 (and got some pretty hot tea, too), which you can read all about here. We also had Albie on our podcast here.

Maxwell Place + 333 River Apartments | Hoboken
Being a business owner in The Mile Square, it’s only fitting that Chris Manzo called our city home, too. Back in 2013, Chris lived in the 333 River Apartments along with his brother Albie. We won’t call Chris + Albie mama’s boys, but it wasn’t long after that Caroline + her husband Albert moved in nearby at Maxwell Place, dividing their time between a mansion in Franklin Lakes and their Hoboken apartment.
Green Rock | 70 Hudson Street, Hoboken
We’d love to see the RHONJ crew throwing napkins at Green Rock (next Girl’s Night Out?), but for now, you can find Teresa Giudice’s daughter Gia there — waking up in the morning, thinking about so many things — nearly every weekend with her friends + her boyfriend, according to sources. Her drink of choice, unsurprisingly, is Tito’s soda. Cheers, G.
The Robert Bazouzi Hair Salon (Now Closed) | 254 1st Street, Hoboken
Back in 2012 when Robert Bazouzi was still open and Kathy Wakile was still a housewife, the stars aligned for the Real Housewives of New Jersey member to visit this Hoboken hair salon while The Hoboken Girl founder, Jen Tripucka, was also there. Naturally, Kathy + Jen hung out, chatting over blowouts like a couple of old friends. Dare we call that foreshadowing for her demotion to friend status?
Lefkes Estiatorio | 495 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs
A few weeks ago, none other than Mrs. Jackie Goldschneider was spotted dining at Lefkes with some off-screen besties. And yes, it’s technically Bergen County — but who are we to draw lines in the county sand. The Mediterranean restaurant took to IG stories to show off Jackie’s visit.
And while Teresa + Jackie have shared some choice words with each other (hi, Season 11 premiere), it appears the two also share the same taste in restaurants. In 2021, Teresa dined at Lefkes to celebrate her 49th birthday, joined by some of her off-screen friends + her now husband, Luis Ruelas. Not to be outdone, Melissa and Joe have also been spotted at this North Jersey spot.

The Chandelier | 1081 Broadway, Bayonne
Kim DePaola may not technically be a real housewife, but she’s earned herself the nickname “Kim D” among RHONJ fans, so she earns a spot on our list, too. Back in 2020, Kim hosted her Posche by Kim D fashion show at The Chandelier in Bayonne, showing off the latest designs from her fashion brand of the same name. We covered the event here.

Other Hoboken Housewife Hot Spots
Melissa + Joe Gorga have been known to frequent Halifax in Hoboken — a few years back, Melissa’s sister had a birthday party there. Teresa opts for Dino + Harry’s and has been spotted multiple times at the legendary Mile Square steakhouse. Bonus round: in 2011, NJ.com reported a classic Gorga-Guidice showdown at a restaurant in Hoboken, and we’re placing bets as to where it might’ve been. Our money’s on Dino + Harry’s — what are you going with?
