New Jersey commuters have had a whirlwind week of news headlines coming from NJ Transit and the New York / New Jersey Port Authority. The most recent of the headlines was an announcement on Friday, November 14th, that the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail line will undergo a 10-mile expansion with seven new stops. Read on for more information about the new railway expansion plan. 

Building into Bergen County

The Hudson-Bergen line currently only extends as far as North Bergen. The new plan, titled “The Northern Branch Project”,  from NJ Transit will bring the Light Rail tracks 10 miles further north to an anticipated terminal at Englewood Hospital. There will be seven stops added across five municipalities, including North Bergen, Ridgefield, Palisades Park, Leonia, and Englewood.

The project is still in the early stages of planning, and riders will likely have to wait a year or two before construction begins. The environmental impact statement considers potential impacts of the project on surrounding areas, including noise, wildlife, air quality, infrastructure, traffic patterns, and more. 

Per press release, NJ Transit announced that it issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to hire a contractor to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). As the proposal is currently written, the electric railway would be located along West Side Avenue in North Bergen and the existing railroad right-of-way owned by CSX Transportation between 91st Street in North Bergen and the northern Border of Englewood. 

 Northern Branch Corridor Project Proposal via NJ Transit

A previous version of the plan, titled “The Northern Branch Corridor Project” was published for public commentary in 2011. The original plan extended service to Tenafly, which was opposed by residents and community leaders.  The Federal Transit Administration rescinded its Notice of Intent to review that Environmental Impact Statement in 2023 since environmental conditions have changed since its writing in 2007. 

What Officials Say

“NJ TRANSIT remains committed to extending the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail into Bergen County,” said NJ TRANSIT President and CEO Kris Kolluri. “This RFP is a concrete demonstration of that commitment. Providing mass transit options to all regions of New Jersey takes cars off the road, cleans the air we breathe, and drives economic activity, sustainable housing, and a multitude of other benefits.” 

 “As one of the most densely populated counties in the state, Bergen County welcomes additional mass transit options,” Bergen County Executive James Tedesco added, “The Northern Branch project will fulfill that need and enhance the lives of all who call Bergen County home. I thank NJ TRANSIT for continuing this vital project.”

As part of the EIS process, there will be an opportunity for public comment once the draft is complete for a minimum period of 45 days.

A post shared by NJ ACU & BEAUTY CENTER (@njacuandbeautycenter)

Cost: $350 (or $195 for Acuglow with Mini Sculpt)

Time: 90 minutes-2 hours (depending on client’s needs)

Acupuncture and skincare can go hand-in-hand. Acufacials are a painless, holistic approach to enhance glow, clear acne, and fight signs of aging. The process of careful facial acupuncture increases circulation and boosts collagen, which ultimately helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Thanks to increased blood flow, the process of healing speeds up, making this a great choice for those looking to combat acne and reduce swelling. In choosing either of the Acu-enhanced treatments (Acuflow Facial with Face Sculpt or the Acuglow Facial with Mini Face Sculpt), clients will be treated with lymphatic drainage, gua sha, LED therapy, and facial cupping based on their needs. This treatment can even help with TMJ discomfort.

Spa Blue’s Back Facial | 280 Marin Boulevard

Cost: $145

Time: 60 minutes

Skincare can extend beyond just the face. Spa Blue has a Back Facial to address back acne, dehydrated skin, and more for a rather difficult-to-reach area. Clients are first prepped with a deep cleanse and steam to open the pores and begin extractions. The service also includes exfoliation with plant-based enzymes, finished off with a detoxifying sea mud mask to draw out any remaining impurities.

Zahara Day Spa’s Le Stress Relief Facial | 403 Monmouth Street

If a relaxation-focused facial is what you need, then the Le Stress Relief Facial is the cure. Zahara Day Spa’s uniquely designed stress relief facial is designed for “pure exquisite pleasure without moderation,” as the day spa states on its website. Clients can expect a thorough cleansing of the face, neck, and décolleté, with a gentle Zahara Oat treatment followed by Calendula, Grapefruit, and Anise purifying cleansers. The products here are inspired by nature and also feature organic banana, pineapple, and cherry exfoliators. The treatment also includes a relaxing hand, neck, and shoulder massage.

A night out on the town doesn’t have to mean dinner and drinks — and in fact, we might prefer for it not to. SoJo Spa Club in Edgewater is a favorite for day-trips, but it’s little-known that the spa is open until 9:30PM every day of the week. These late-night hours extend to all of SoJo’s services: the pools, the saunas, the baths, and massages. Post-work happy hour just got a major upgrade, and we’ve got all the details. Keep reading to learn more about SoJo Spa Club in Edgewater and its day-to-night services.

Not Just a Day-Spa: Rooms at Hotel SoJo

SoJo Spa Club is a luxury wellness center with relaxing spa treatments, saunas, heated outdoor pools, Korean body scrubs, hydrotherapy, and more. But the relaxation doesn’t end when the sun goes down, because SoJo has its very own boutique hotel right upstairs.

Hotel SoJo turns a spa day into a full-on wellness retreat. After check-in, guests can spend the day soaking, steaming, unwinding, and relaxing until the spa closes at 9:30PM (more on this in a sec).  Heading upstairs to a minimalist, modern comfort hotel room is the perfect ending to the perfect day.

Yes, you read that right: SoJo Spa is open until 9:30PM every day, for day-trippers and overnighters alike. This includes all of the spa’s many amenities — from the outdoor pools to the massage services.

SoJo guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to eats, too. There’s a food hall on the 6th floor and a seasonal rooftop grill, with a diverse selection of eats including sushi and Korean dishes as well as guilty pleasures like pizza, fries, and even ice cream. We can’t speak for everyone, but we’d take dinner and a massage over dinner and drinks any day. More on the food options in a sec…

The SoJo Experience

SoJo Spa has eight saunas, each uniquely designed to achieve specific benefits. Guests can sauna hop from the Himalayan salt sauna to the red clay sauna, then improve circulation in the Ganbanyoku sauna.

The outside amenities are just as luxurious, with a heated rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The outdoor hot baths are not to be missed either. Similarly to the indoor saunas, each is designed with a specific wellness goal, like the carbon-rich pool, the hinoki bath, or the silk bath. For the bravest guests, the cold waterfall is the ultimate refresh.

SoJo Spa Club also has an ESPA spa right in-house. From heated salt stone massages to maternity treatments to couples packages, and aroma therapy treatments, the SPA by ESPA is a great place to unwind and relax. Acupressure massages are a popular option, with treatments including foot, chair, or hand and arm massage.

The Food Hall

We come for the relaxation, but we stay for the food. SoJo Spa may be known for its relaxing saunas and pools, but the Food Hall is a destination in itself. Guests can enjoy a wide range of options, from healthy options like the Shrimp & Soba Noodle Salad or the tuna poke dish. But this is a staycation, so you deserve to treat yourself to one (or multiple) of many pizzas, French fries, or sandwiches.

No meal is complete without dessert, and SoJo has that covered with sweet treats like brownies, cookies, and seasonal beverages at both the Food Hall and the rooftop lounge.

SoJo Spa Club is located at 660 River Road in Edgewater.

Health, wellness, and beauty treatments go hand-in-hand, and no one in Hudson County understands that more than LA PERFÉ. LA PERFÉ, which translates to “the perfect” in French, is a body-contouring wellness studio located at 725 River Road, Suite 115 in Edgewater, that hones in on non-invasive lymphatic drainage-based approaches to help clients improve their overall health from the inside out with a natural glow to match. Keep reading to learn more about LA PERFÉ, a lymphatic drainage studio in Edgewater, New Jersey.

Behind The Scenes of  LA PERFÉ

LA PERFÉs chic space in Edgewater is a modern, technologically-advanced beauty and wellness studio backed by a team that creates a warm and uplifting environment. Here, clients can unwind, enjoy some well-deserved pampering, and leave feeling refreshed, revitalized, and confident in their skin.

The studio specializes in advanced, non-invasive body treatments that provide holistic solutions tailored to meet specific wellness or aesthetic-based goals. Whether visiting for targeted body sculpting, skin-tightening, lymphatic drainage, or a little bit of “me time,” LA PERFÉ believes that every individual deserves to look and feel their best.

On the menu at LA PERFÉ  is a variety of non-invasive, zero-downtime services such as:

• LED Light Therapy to accelerate the body’s natural healing process
• Radio Frequency to stimulate collagen and tighten skin
• EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) for sculpting and toning
• Ultrasound Caviation to breaks down fat cells and smooth cellulite

The true star of the show is the icoone® machine by i-Tech Industries®, which covers a wide range of treatments, including cellulite reduction, skin tightening, body contouring, facial rejuvenation, anti-aging care, muscle relaxation, and more. icoone® was even described in Vogue US as a “futuristic depuffing device.” We’re sold.

All About Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system that helps get rid of waste, fight infections, and acts as a filter to keep everything running smoothly. Though our lymphatic systems work hard every day, sometimes a little assistance goes a long way, both internally and externally. LA PERFÉ’s use of icoone® machine aids in the performance of lymphatic drainage. This process gently releases built-up toxins throughout the body’s lymph system and helps to improve lymphatic circulation, reduce swelling, detox, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness from the inside out.

Lymphatic drainage is suitable for just about anyone but ideal for clients who feel bloated. It eliminates excess water and boosts metabolism by expediting the body’s detoxification process. Clients can also use lymphatic drainage to accelerate recovery by reducing swelling and improving skin elasticity (i.e., post-workout, post-surgery, post-pregnancy, etc.).

On an aesthetic level, lymphatic drainage can improve skin firmness, reduce cellulite, and even support body sculpting through its depuffing effect. A win-win for you and your body when done consistently and followed up by a healthy lifestyle.

LA PERFÉ is located at 725 River Road, Suite 115 in Edgewater. Call 551-255-2365, email info@la-perfe.com, or visit the site for more info.

Readers can use code “HOBOKENGIRL” for 10% off their first lymphatic drainage treatment. Offer expires on April 30, 2025.

There’s nothing like discovering a new self-care spot, especially when it’s a totally unique experience. SWTHZ is our latest wellness obsession: a luxury private contrast therapy suite with an infrared sauna, cold plunge, + Vitamin C shower. It’s opening a new location at 725 River Road in Edgewater and has exclusive founding membership deals available for locals to lock in at the lowest price. Keep reading to learn more about SWTHZ, a new contrast therapy studio in Edgewater, New Jersey.

So… What is Contrast Therapy?

Contrast therapy studios are the latest wellness craze, and for good reason. The idea is simple: alternate between hot and cold temperatures using saunas and cold plunges. Deliberate exposure to heat and cold is scientifically proven to boost your physical and mental well-being, according to the SWTHZ team.

This is the setup at SWTHZ. Each session starts in the sauna, with infrared heat technology that aids in muscle recovery and helps detox the body. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air inside, SWTHZ saunas heat the body directly and at a lower temperature. The team says that this method helps improve complexion, muscle recovery, mood + heart health, metabolism, and pain relief.

Following the infrared sauna is the Vitamin C-infused shower, a cool-down that rejuvenates the skin. After that, it’s time for the grand finale: the cold plunge. Here, guests will submerge in a 48-55ºF bath — an experience that sounds intimidating but can have lasting effects, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, focus, immune responses, and even sleep patterns.

SWTHZ recommends that guests alternate between the sauna and cold plunge a few times during a session to maximize benefits. This unique recovery journey is scientifically proven to promote optimal mental and physical performance, according to the SWTHZ team.

State-of-the-Art Amenities

The state-of-the-art studio, coming to Edgewater soon, features 10 thoughtfully designed private suites for relaxation and recovery.

Each suite is packed with luxury amenities, including an in-suite entertainment system for those who want to unwind with music, their favorite podcast, or TV show. But if it’s peace + quiet you’re looking for, the space can also be an oasis to unplug, meditate, and enjoy the calm. When it’s time to head out, there’s a beauty bar stocked with Dyson hair tools to help guests freshen up.

The studio has exclusive memberships available that locals can lock in at the lowest rates and enjoy early access before the official opening. With a membership, you’ll have access to the private suites, infrared saunas, cold plunge, and vitamin-C shower. Memberships are month-to-month with no upfront charges.  SWTHZ is currently awaiting an official opening date but has assured HG that the Edgewater location will be up and running soon.

Don’t forget, SWTHZ has exclusive founding membership deals available.

SWTHZ is located at 725 River Road in Edgewater.

Spring is just around the corner, and after the winter we’ve had, we all deserve a little refresh. SoJo Spa Club is a go-to getaway year-round, but just in time for the new season, this New Jersey day spa and resort is rolling out a new spa service. It’s called the Signature Massage Package, and it’s sort of a choose-your-own-adventure: pick one of SoJo’s signature massage options and be treated to an additional scalp treatment. It’s the ultimate head-to-toe renewal, launching soon at 660 River Road in Edgewater. Keep reading to learn more about the SoJo Spa treatment we’re already obsessing over.

Introducing The Signature Massage Package

This spring, Sojo Spa Club is debuting its brand new Signature Massage Package, which includes your choice of signature massage and an added scalp treatment that nourishes + hydrates the scalp and hair.

This head-to-toe experience begins with one of these signature massages:

Aromatherapy: a gentle yet sensory-rich escape with essential oils to calm the mind and body.

Deep Muscle Massage: targeted relief for tension and soreness, ideal for active lifestyles.

Heated Salt Stone: warm Himalayan salt stone massage that melts away stress and restores balance.

Maternity Massage: soothing, supportive treatment for expecting mothers.

Following a serene and luxurious massage, you’ll be treated to a scalp therapy sessio, including a pink mud mask — which is infused with nourishing minerals to soothe and hydrate your scalp. This service also includes complimentary 2-hour access to the facility as well as valet parking, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy.

Beyond the Massage

Once the massage ends, there’s no reason you can’t keep the relaxation going. SoJo Spa Club is a day spa and hotel experience, with options for day trips or longer stay-cations. The sprawling space has heated pools, soothing saunas, and stunning Manhattan skyline views, making it the ultimate winter retreat for anyone looking for a mini escape.

During the colder months, the spa has tented walkways for guests to travel comfortably to and from each of the outdoor amenities (and then into the heated steam room, sauna, and volcanic sand baths, obviously). Indoors, things are justas zen, with various saunas uniquely designed to recharge and revive.

Sojo Spa Club is located at 660 River Road in Edgewater.

Call 833-SoJo-SPA (865-6772) or visit the website to plan your visit or for more info.
