Meeting a friend, we'd like a tasty restaurant where it's possible to talk, within 4 blocks of the station. (I wanted La Isla, but it's too small/crowded.) |

what time are you meeting? if its earlier rather than later, try to jump in a cab uptown Hoboken...you'll have more choices and maybe find one of the good early bird dinner deals. Havent been there in a long time, but the Brass Rail is a close walk to the train and might give you the atmosphere youre looking for. |

Arthur's Steaks's is a great place with a pub feel to it. Its less than 4 blocks away its right on Wash. Street. Its affordable and it was ranked as the best steak by AOL City Guides. Check it out. |

There's an excellent cuban place by the hospital (Zafra, 301 Willow). Arthur's is great, but I think the steaks really aren't very good, fatty and way too much gristle. The burgers, however, are huge and great. Add a a few pints of Bass and happiness ensues. And of course, there's Leo's (200 Grand St.).

If it doesn't need to be fancy, Wolfgang Puck Express is a block from the train staion and it's yummy. They sell beer and wine, no liquor. Along the water, about 3 blocks north of the train station there is a pub, and a block further up is a fancier restaurant. can't remember the names, sorry! there's a great sushi place called Maru on Washington, probably a little more than 4 blocks. I am a huge fan of Cucharama, also further than 4 blocks. It's owned by the same woman who owns the aforementioned Zafra.

Near the train I like Oddfellas Rest on 80 Hudson St. Good cajun food, good beer selection and outdoor seating in the back. |

earlster - I like oddfellows too, but it can be noisy....However, they have a great little garden dining area, so Deborah, if you go, ask to sit out back.
