The Hoboken Girl Team 
Hear ye, hear ye! We at HG have an announcement to make — we now have the winners for the Best of Hoboken 2025 Awards. After weeks of our readers voting and local businesses working hard for your support, we have finally closed the polls and have tallied the votes to see who has won the title — and of course the bragging rights — of being the “best” in town.
FYI – we do not pick winners or nominees, the winners are chosen by voting over the course of two weeks by our audience, and nominees are the same — nominated fully by our readers and audience. This list is entirely editorial and separate from our advertising partnerships. If you don’t see a category you think should be on here, please click here to fill out our form to suggest future categories. We cannot guarantee inclusion, but we truly appreciate your suggestions and our team will take them into consideration for 2026.
Winners – please note: an email will be going out with your virtual decal + link to use plus instructions on how to obtain your physical decal in the new year. Please email [email protected] so we have your most up-to-date mailing address.
Thank you and congratulations to all who were nominated.
Winners, feel free to save this decal to post on your social media (we’ll also be mailing them in the new year (1 decal per winner) – so reach out to [email protected] with a specific mailing address for us to send needed).
