Hoboken Local Business Guide: What’s Open or Closed in Town
We asked local businesses to update their status and created a handy guide from their responses.
HOBOKEN, N.J. – The coronavirus is having a profound impact on the global economy, and has been particularly damaging to local businesses that depend on foot-traffic and in-person interactions with their customers. Even so, many businesses have found ways to stay open and to offer delivery, pick-up and safe-distance transactions to serve the community.
We put a call out to local businesses on Patch this week and asked them to update their status, give details on how you can continue to patronize them and to let the community know how they can best help during these challenging times. You can find the local guide here.
If you own a local business and have not yet updated your status, you can find a simple submission form here or simply scroll down to the bottom of this article.

Jess and Jeff Dyer of Hoboken have an 11-month-old baby, a 6-month-old small business, and big worries because people in their city have been staying home amid the coronavirus crisis. The pair opened their small coffee shop, "Joey No Nuts," on Oct. 1 in a cozy 450-square-foot sliver of retail space on a corner. The shop has a niche because it's entirely nut free, so people with food allergies don't have to worry about cross-contamination from almond milk, a frightening prospect for many.
"We're definitely worried, because it's our only source of income," said Jess, an artist, on Monday night.
