Say, do you remember… dancing in September? Well, you will definitely remember this September weekend with all the fun it has to offer when it comes to letting loose, drinking a fair share of wines {and learning about them!}, and squeezing in some last-of-summer outdoor workouts. And since LDW gives us an extra long weekend, you’ll be guilt-free in hitting up as many events as you can squeeze in. Here are 11 things to do in Hoboken and Jersey City this weekend.
