While there is SO much to do in Hoboken and Jersey City, we’re lucky enough to have such easy and quick access to New York City. So close and so full of life and activities, in fact, we’ve dubbed our areas the 6th Borough. When you feel like venturing outside of Hudson County, you can hop on the PATH for a 20 minute ride max — and you’ll never know what you can discover. In this new series of NYC PATH exploration, we’re showing you the best places to eat, drink, shop, and explore at every PATH stop. This week, we’re sharing what to do around the 9th Street PATH stop. Here are the top things you must check out around the area:

From Shakespeare to Moleskin notebooks and even a Strand onesie for your bookworm-to-be, this book store has everything you could ever want.

Nothing quite makes us feel like we’re in NYC more than getting in some laughs at a comedy show. You should definitely check out their brunch show, which has just a $14 cover with a two item minimum. Think you’re extra funny? You can also take their comedy classes, so next time, you can be the one cracking the jokes on stage.

If you’re a Project Runway fan, stopping in front of the Parsons School of Design is a MUST {Christian Siriano’s career was basically born here on the TV show, after all}.

Johnson Design Center here.

Your fave fashion bloggers always snap a pic of the rosé pancakes and fresh-squeezed cantaloupe juice from this brunch hotspot, so it’s of course worth a trip. Featuring plenty of American-Mediterranean inspired plates and classic cocktails, you’ll always leave full and with a smile on your face {even though it’s super tiny and always packed!}. According to NY Mag, the food is “South African Israeli Jewish Grandmother Cuisine.” Warning: there will be a longggg line on weekends, so make sure you get there 10AM or earlier if you want to get in right away.

And that’s just a few of the things happening right around 9th Street, should you find yourself there with some time to kill.
