Mayor Emily Jabbour certainly hopes so. She responded, "YES! Hoboken is the best place on the planet."

Actually...

The pair have been collaborating on various projects recently, including an NSync sing-along after a Broadway performance of "&Juliet." But they were in Hoboken for a specific reason.

The pair had dinner at Sushi By Bou in the W Hotel, an omikase experience in which a chef prepares and doles out sushi as patrons enjoy cocktails.

According to a post from the restaurant late on Monday, the duo are filming E! Cocktail Wars, a mixology contest.

The restaurant posted, "You’re all we ever wanted, and welcome back anytime."
