Across the Hudson River, Manhattan's skyline unfolds like a pop-up book from Weehawken's waterfront promenade. This small township packs surprising punch with its dramatic cliff-top views that once captivated colonial settlers. Catch the ferry at Port Imperial Terminal for quick access to Broadway shows and Times Square excitement. The historic Hamilton-Burr dueling grounds offer a quiet moment of reflection where American history changed course with a single shot. Despite being minutes from Manhattan's chaos, Weehawken maintains distinct neighborhood character and an almost defiant small-town atmosphere. Come evening, the promenade transforms into a photographer's paradise as the sun sets behind the city that never sleeps, painting skyscrapers in golden light.
