Monster Mini Golf had very loud music. We stopped playing in middle and did their arcades instead.
The Kenilworth Hotel is small and interesting. Not the usual fancy hotel type, but it’s a good way to switch it up.
Hyatt House Jersey City Terrace Level isn’t currently open, they sent me to the Upper Level (the bar) where they told me that unless I wanted to sit by the bar, to sit by a table you needed to order food, and alcoholic drinks, wasn’t a pleasant experience wouldn’t recommend.
There are more restaurants to add:
Lighthouse cafe, in the new Brookhaven mall.
Also Goldie Lox is a new dairy restaurant in American Dream mall.
And there are tons of areas to walk around and sit down and talk in American dream…
Passaic girls don’t appreciate being taken to American dream on a date they meet all their friends there etc.
Bogota Golf Center closed down.
The Glenpointe is nice. If you keep walking far down the hallway through the automatic doors there is a nice quiet area with a waterfall and chairs.
The Envue is even nicer with a stunning view and boardwalk.

The Hoboken game lounge is now called Play! Hoboken. Also, they have their own parking lot (for a fee).

PSA: The Crowne Plaza charged me $20 for a water bottle and a can of coke.
It was great except for the fact that when I went to the bar, they had a woman standing there playing an electric piano and singing live. We got drinks and then went downstairs.
Crown plaza in saddle brook and the Marriott in Glenpoint I was at both of them and their bar or restaurant is open with out the need to wear masks at all once sitting down the Marriott also aloud sitting around on the various couches around the first floor once quiet without masks.
