Spaghetti? Fuhgettaboutit! Hoboken Enjoys Annual 'Block Party Dinner': PHOTOS

HOBOKEN, NJ — Once a year, Hoboken holds its Spaghetti Block Party Dinner, where people sit at long tables along the waterfront to eat pasta, chat, and make new friends.

The party started in 2005 to celebrate Hoboken’s 150th Anniversary, and was meant to evoke a spaghetti dinner held on Washington Street in 1955 for the city’s 100th Anniversary, according to the city.

City Cultural Affairs Director Geri Fallo said at least 400 tickets were sold to this year's event.

The event was catered by The Brownstone and included four kinds of pasta, meatballs, sausage, eggplant parmigiana, salad, bread, and Italian pastries including cannolis with sprinkles.

Wine, beer, water, and soda were available for a cost. Proceeds from beverage sales went to support the Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corp.
