Hoboken

Yeah, it's Jersey, but it's basically the sixth borough. Serious young professional scene, tons of bars, and that waterfront view of Manhattan is unbeatable. Washington Street's got everything you need, and you're in downtown Manhattan faster than from most parts of Brooklyn. Just don't mention Frank Sinatra unless you're ready for a history lesson.
