Happy National Margarita Day! Hoboken | Jersey City |

Happy National Margarita Day guys! Now this is one kooky holiday I would like to take a minute to acknowledge!!

Margarita's are definitely in my top 3 cocktails. There is almost nothing better than a solid margarita on the rocks with a salt rim. Here are some ways I enjoy them!

The classic Margarita. I like mine made with Patron silver, fresh lemon and fresh lime juice, a splash of triple sec and simple syrup heavily shaken served on the rocks with a salt rim. If made properly - this drink will instantly transport you to the beach!!

This beauty, is one of my favorite concoctions served up at Langosta Lounge in Asbury Park. (Please re-open soon!) It is made with tequilla, fresh squeezed pineapple juice and a healthy dose of fresh jalapeno with seeds - sweet and spicy -- delish!

Finally, the pomegranate margarita. Good for you! No, seriously this one is delicious because it has a deep berry flavor. Made with real pomegranate juice I order this one at The Sushi Lounge in Hoboen. Ask for Grace the bartender (my sis) and she will whip it up in a flash!

And finally here's a non-alcoholic version that will brighten your day ; )



Cheers! What's your favorite way to drink a Margarita?? Happy National Margarita Day Hoboken and Jersey City!

Great Sushi In Hoboken

Last night, my sweetie and I took out a client now friend to the W for a cocktail and then we were off to the Sushi Lounge for some sushi. If you haven't tried this place - you will not be disappointed!!

I've tried just about every sushi establishment in Hoboken and I honestly, have to say, that none compare to The Sushi Lounge. People have tried to convince me otherwise, but I'm sorry, their quality and selection is just the best.

Last night, we started with a beautiful duck crepe for appetizer, and 'kaiso' japanese seaweed salad. I don't eat duck, but I did try a bite and it is delicious and tender and the combination of crepes with scallions and a glaze reduction sauce is terrific!

Francesco, went with my recommendation and tried their new "South of the border" roll. It's under their special roll menu - which by the way, during happy hour (M-F 4:30 - 6:30) is half off as well as martinis and hot appetizers, and while he made a comment on the tempura inside, (Francesco eats healthy) he loved it! It's wrapped in a soy wrap and served over an amazing sauce of garlic and soy and I don't know what else but it makes my mouth water!

Also, if you love shellfish like me, you have to try their seafood salad. I love Italian seafood salad which is usually scungili, calamari, crab, scallops and shrimp with chopped celery, red onion and some olive oil. Theirs, is scallops, mussels, lobster, crab and shrimp with fresh chopped celery, grape tomatoes, and a light toss of a dressing that doesn't hide the flavor of the fish. It is sooooo good! And a really nice size portion. 

If you go for lunch, try the Tuna Sliders! My coworker and I skipped over for lunch one afternoon and I tried their sliders for the first time and was so surprised! I didn't know what to expect, but I went with Erika's recommendation, a waitress there, and was glad I did.

Tuesdays, don't miss their half price martini night, ladies you'll love their selection. :)

Sushi Lounge Hoboken is on 2nd and Hudson. If you go on Thurs or Fri night, ask for Grace at the bar, and get there before 8! Or you'll have to wait for a table..
