An eclectic town filled with fun and entertainment

Union City sits along the "Gold Coast," a 19-mile stretch of land on the Hudson River that includes other towns such as Jersey City, Hoboken, and Weehawken. The New York skyline dots the horizon all the way across the water. Commuters appreciate the quick commute to Manhattan and other areas of New York City via Route 495 to the Lincoln Tunnel.
 
The city is primarily residential with a nice blend of commercial spaces on Boulevard East, providing a diverse collection of restaurants, businesses, and attractions. This unique community is also called the “Havana on the Hudson” and the "Embroidery Capital of the US," both names reflecting important aspects of Union City's history. Thousands visit the city yearly to see the Cuban Day Parade of New Jersey.
