Hoboken, NJ - Highest % of Singles in the US

When school is over and you finally to decide to move out of Mom and Dad’s house, consider moving to the birth place of Frank Sinatra and the town who’s SWAT team members party with Hooters waitresses, Hoboken, NJ.

Why? Because CNN.com named Hoboken number one in it’s list of 25 places for singles in the US for the second year in a row.

The home of movies’ famed stoner duo Harold and Kumar attracts young professionals, students and artists - and not just those who crave White Castle sliders.

Hoboken’s waterfront is also a great place to take a date to share a romantic view of the Manhattan skyline.
