City Bistro

Try the Bombay Sapphire Sparkling Lemon at These 10 New Jersey Bars | Eater

"It’s summer, so you want — no, you need — a rooftop bar. Hoboken’s three-story City Bistro has you covered with a patio for good-weather socializing and dog-friendly relaxation if you arrive early enough to snag the first-come, first-serve outdoor seating. Vegetarians take note that the veggie patty here is above par, while everyone will want to sample the thin-crust pizza. You can get a New York slice most anywhere else, so lean into the idiosyncrasy. If you’re further looking for the standouts you won’t find elsewhere, grab a Johnny sandwich (chicken cutlet with provolone, banana peppers, and balsamic dressing). Steadfast folks will otherwise find a mix of pizza and pasta with some American classics like steak and burgers. While we’d never dissuade you from a Friday night rooftop, the Monday night dining deals make City Bistro a great way to start your week with Friday vibes." - Brendan McGinley
