If you’re anything like us at HG HQ, you’ve been inundated by the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce coverage this week. We’re not mad about it: who couldn’t root for two people who look like the platonic ideal of a Prom King and Queen? In honor of the Kansas City Chiefs game against the NY Jets at MetLife Stadium this weekend, we devised a Hoboken dream day for Taylor and Travis based on other celebs who have visited the Mile Square, including Miss Americana herself. Read on for this all-star itinerary for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Brunch at Sorellina | 1036 Washington Street, Hoboken

Travis Kelce has been quoted saying that his go-to game-day breakfast is French Toast, so naturally we’d send these two to Sorellina to start their day off right. This uptown hotspot is where Susan Sarandon, Vince Vaughn, Joe Manganiello, and his dog Bubbles all ate during their time in Hoboken this summer.
Target Run | 100 14th Street, Jersey City

Everyone knows a great day can be better with a Target run, and Taylor has already visited the Jersey City Target. It’s been a while since her 2019 visit to promote her album Lover when she was in town for the MTV Video Music Awards. We imagine them picking up some fall candy or cat toys for Taylor’s cat, Meredith.
Coffee + a Little Treat at Almost Home | 315 15th Street, Jersey City
On any day off, coffee and a little treat are mandatory. Almost Home Cafe in Jersey City is co-owned by NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios, who currently plays for the Miami Dolphins but was an NY Jet for several years. Almost Home General Store is based in the Jersey Shore, and the crew opened the Jersey City outpost earlier this year.

Since both Travis and Taylor work hard in their day jobs and it’s their day off, let’s make sure they get a relaxing workout in at Yoga Renew. Actor Vince Vaughn was in Hoboken for several weeks earlier this summer and was spotted taking classes at this downtown Hoboken studio with beautiful stained glass skylights.
Get Pizza at Napoli’s | 1118 Washington Street + 133 Clinton Street

We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to great pizza in Hoboken but we’re sending Travis and Taylor to Napoli’s. Recently, NY Jets linebacker CJ Mosely went undercover at Napoli’s as a pizza shop employee. Maybe Travis will flip some dough and consider what he’d like to do after the NFL.
Go Shopping

First, we’d have the duo stop at Cornerstone Pets to pick up some dog treats for Travis’s dogs Rambo and Chauncey, then make a stop at Washington General Store to pick up a sweet memento of their day in Hoboken. Maybe a Hoboken-themed ornament or a tote bag. Naturally, they’d stop at Lepore’s to bring home some treats to their respective moms. And they’d make a final stop at Little City Books, where bestselling author Colleen Hoover was spotted earlier this summer.
Walk on the Waterfront
No visit to Hoboken would be complete without a walk on our incredible waterfront. Actor Ron Perlman took advantage of the million-dollar views during his visit to Hoboken earlier this year, and we just know that Travis and Taylor would love it too. Actor, comedian, and 80’s romcom king Billy Crystal was spotted walking on Pier A this year, too. (PS Travis this is a hint!)
Dinner at Augustino’s | 1104 Washington Street, Hoboken
^ Johnny Depp + friends at Augustino’s in Hoboken
Anyone who’s anyone passing through Hoboken over the past few months has stopped at Augustino’s. This iconic spot has hosted Johnny Depp, Vince Vaughn, guitarist Jeff Beck, the Jonas Brothers, and NY Giants player Daniel Jones, to name a few. Taylor and Travis will be welcomed like family and fed like royalty.
Time to Party
Taylor’s bestie Blake Lively was spotted in Hoboken and Jersey City earlier this year while filming It Ends With Us. Taylor and Travis can visit South House in Jersey City, which was used for several scenes.

The next stop is back in Hoboken at Green Rock, where former Hoboken resident and NY Giants player Eli Manning and current NY Giant Daniel Jones were spotted partying and throwing napkins, naturally.

Goodnight

After covering all that ground, we know these two are ready for a good night’s sleep. There’s no better choice than The W Hoboken. Other celebs who have made The W their home base while in town include actor and RHOBH star Lisa Rinna and actor Vince Vaughn. Actor Ron Perlman dined at Halifax, the W’s restaurant, when he was in town. While The W brand is known worldwide for its incredible service and luxurious bedding, the Hoboken W has Lulu, a rooftop bar perfect for a nightcap, and Halifax, an on-site restaurant that locals enjoy for its fresh, seasonal cuisine (and bottomless brunch). We hope these two enjoyed their busy day in our special town.
