Article is paywalled for me, but I believe JC had already passed local ordinance to allow for consumption lounges pending state approval (when most towns were banning sales or that specifically to front run legislation) & there may have already been a handful of applicants to the city waiting for the state rules. It's hard to keep up with changes, so this could be out of date/not the whole truth; but, I think lounges are a great idea especially in a place with the density of JC (apartment/shared space, in addition to far less driving)

You can combine this with the Holy Name Cemetery which is nice esp during the warm weather.

Stephen R. Gregg Park in Bayonne is worth going to as well, though isn't so easy to get to. It also has a wetlands section on the North End, there is a parking lot by the i78 bridge crosses the river.

I hate, Hate, HATE the fact that JC residents need to cross into another state or city to take a train to NEW JERSEY locations.

Jersey City folks used to be able to catch a train at Pavonia Newport and ride all the way to Chicago. There used to be train lines to all sorts of NJ locations staring in Jersey City. Have you seen the train terminal in Liberty Park? There were like half a dozen such terminals all along the waterfront.

Now? Now we need to bend the knee to Hoboken, Newark, or cross state lines to NYC to get anywhere west of the Hackensack River. Oh how the mighty have fallen ....

You could take the path to Hoboken then get the lirr to south orange. Get out and walk up hill until you’re at the south mountain reservoir. It’s a huge wooded area (reserve) you can walk around there all you want. It’ll probably take you an hour or so to get there

you can walk the boardwalk/waterfront all the way to the GWB and the park that's underneath.

realistically i would say that's a trip for a bike not on foot but you can obviously walk as much of it as you feel like and turn around.
