I had convinced Hub that we should go in a little early because I wanted to go to East LA's, my favorite place for margaritas on the planet. But, we got a call from our friend asking if we wanted to ride in with them - they had decided to get a limo so no one had to drive. Of course we said HELL YEAH! So we skipped the margaritas and went to our friends' house for early cocktails and then took the limo into Hoboken.
They had reserved a downstairs room at Amanda's for the party, and there were about 30 of us there. We had never been to the restaurant, but it was very nice. There was a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres, then a sit-down dinner, and then dessert. We had good drinks, good food, and good fun with friends. Once dinner was over we hopped back in the limo and head back to their house for frozen margaritas. All in all, a very fun night.
It was nice to do something a little more "upscale" for once. We are really low-maintenance-type people, meaning that we usually wear jeans and drink beer and hang out at average-joe places. This was nice because while it was still casual, we had to get a little dressier and everything was just a little bit nicer. But it was still a wild, fun, good time.
Happy Birthday, Jose! Love ya!

In Hoboken, I love the Mexican restaurant next to the ice cream shop. You know that one by chance? Excellent food! I can't wait to party when I go back!
I lived in Hoboken for 5 years. I started hanging there back in the late 80s before "the change."
I loved my time there.
Its nice to go upscale once in awhile.
Now THAT'S the way to party in style. I am sooooo jealous. That cosmo looked absolutely yummy!

Amanda's is good.

It looks like you guys had a great time!!!

I haven't had the opportunity for a party like that in forever.
I really need to get a life.
Sounds/looks like a great time was had by all! I think it's time for me to hook up with a bunch of friends and do the same.
Wow, I haven't been to Hoboken since 1991 - and that trip was a total, well, trip. A friend's uncle bought out an Italian restaraunt for the four of us, and we had muscles marinara at midnight, and then a lesson in the art of making canolli.
WHich I never spell correctly.
I'm here from Michele's today.
I lived in Hoboken for eight years before making for the calmer parts in the middle of the state. Madison, First, and Hudson were my various streets of residency. Some kickass bars in that town...
You know how to enjoy yourself, Jersey! That was a great time you had.
40 ...that is old
limo that is high glass
it's great when you can live it up at times huh?
Gotta love traveling in the limo.... When we were in Nashville, the limos were cheaper than the taxis. Go figure.
What fun. I love to ride in a limo with friends. Glad you had a blast!
Damn I have to call you when I get home to PA in September, you know how to have a good time! ;)
You are not going to believe this, but I've never been to Hoboken. Can you believe a Jersey girl - born and raised - has never been there?
True jersey, I need to get with your friends, y'all party more than I do! The pics are swell, and I second the compliment on your hair.
My cousin just bought a house in Hoboken...maybe I should go visit him. I had no idea it was such a happening place.
Sounds like a great night. And now you got me thinking about margaritas. Its been a while since I have had a really good one!
Not enough time for all these cool blogs!
Enjoyed yours. New to blogs but I have

Wow guys, I like the way how you enjoy your free time. It is so cool!!
Limo hire is a rally fascinating service today, you may not to rent a house for a party if you have a Huge Limo!!!
I have been living in New-Jersey for 2 years, but I have never heard about Hoboken.
After reading this blog, I have to visit this one square mile of drinking pleasure!!!
And the limo service struck me down. Is it a Hummer limo or what?
Thanks for fresh ideas how to celebrate birthdays, keep up great work!!
When a big event happens many people like to travel in style with the best chauffeurs services they can find. That is why they look at getting limo rentals for the big day. Proms, weddings, and even just a party night out so they look like a big shot it is a big deal to roll up in a limo and have the driver open the door for you. You really know how to make fun.
