Yup, I'm set on Piper's Cove too. Let's just meet up there and go to the pub crawl afterwards. If some people want to skip Piper's Cove and meet us at Scotland Yard then that works too. I'll be driving so I can bring some folks over to Hoboken with me from Kearny.

Chef,
The Path train is probably your best bet into Hoboken from NYC and vice versa. Hoboken station is literally a block away from Scotland Yard (sorta at a diagonal from the entrance of the station- can't miss it). The Path train from 33rd Street to Hoboken Station: $1.50 each way. It's probably best to take the LIRR into Penn Station and then walk over to the 33rd street Path stop and take that into Hoboken.
