The Details
The Hoboken Girl received word of a new sushi restaurant coming to 464 Newark Street from a reader on Wednesday, October 29th. The space was formerly home to Bobabucks, a cafe serving up coffee, bubble tea, breakfast items, and more. The spot was open in town for less than a year, originally opening in November 2024.
