La Alianza de Empresas Hoboken expande las "calles de verano" proporcionando un ambiente seguro y espacioso para las compras y la comida

(Hoboken, NJ) July 20, 2020 – The Hoboken Business Alliance (HBA) proudly announced today that its Summer Streets program to attract and engage residents and visitors to safely shop, dine, and enjoy the Mile Square would officially kick-off on Thursday, July 23, 2020. In coordination with the Hoboken Police Department and Department of Transportation, Summer Streets will take place on Thursday evenings and Sundays this summer, in several different locations. The program provides Hoboken businesses in the designated areas the opportunity to expand their footprint and allow for more physical distancing.

“We’re thrilled to extend Summer Streets to provide Hoboken businesses with the opportunity to expand their space outdoors and engage with customers in a safe environment,” says Gregory Dell’Aquila, President of Hoboken Business Alliance. “We received positive feedback from the businesses who participated in our pilot on First Street that the program drove more customers and increased overall sales. These are exactly the kind of results we’re looking for, and we encourage everyone to go show support for the hardworking small business owners that are the heart of Hoboken.”

Every Summer Streets event will have tables set up throughout the street where local restaurants can take orders and serve guests and many shops will have items on display outside available for purchase. All attendees are instructed to adhere to social distancing and mask guidelines to stay safe, as well as call ahead for a reservation at any of the local establishments or restaurants, if possible, to avoid overcrowding.
