How wide is the Hudson River between Manhattan and Hoboken New Jersey?

There is no such thing as the Manhattan River (in New York, anyway). I'm sure there is at least one Manhattan River, somewhere else in the world, but there is no Manhattan River in New York.
There are three rivers that flow around Manhattan Island: the Harlem River, the Hudson River, and the East River. (However, the East River is not a true river, but an estuary, or a tidal strait: unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean).
Another interesting fact: the Hudson River is actually a fjord. It is the only fjord in North America.
There is also the Bronx River, which flows through the Bronx (NOT around it). The Bronx is the only New York City borough that has a river flowing through it.

∙ 13y agoAccording to the measurements I got from Google Maps, it's about 3750 to 4500 feet (1143 to 1372 meters) wide, depending on where you measure (the piece of land occupied by the Stevens Institute of Technology sticks out like a lump on your head).
It's about 3750 feet (1143 meters) where the Stevens Institute is. The river is about 4500 feet (1372 meters) wide at the rest of the Hoboken area.
For reference: 5280 feet (1609 meters) equals a mile.

What is the distance from Manhattan New York to Hoboken New Jersey?
Hoboken, NJ is about 1 mile from Times Square. It is just across the Hudson River. It can be gotten to easily by public transportation. From Times Square take the NYC Subway (fare $2.25) N, Q, R or W train downtown one stop to 34th St (or walk if you prefer). On the subway use the staircase at the front of the 34th St platform, exit thru the turnstiles and make a quick right and go down the stairs to the PATH 33rd St/6th Avenue station. Take a Hoboken-bound PATH train (on track 3) to Hoboken. The PATH fare is $1.75.

What counties in NJ are closest to NYC?
I think that Hoboken is the closest, but only by a few hundred feet. There are several other New Jersey cities that are almost as close. You see, a small stretch of the eastern border of New Jersey runs up and down the Hudson River, directly across from the island of Manhattan. This small stretch of land has more than one city on it: there's Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Union City, West New York, Guttenberg, North Bergen, Fairview, Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Fort Lee and Englewood Cliffs. All of these cities are directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan. The distance between them and Manhattan is the width of the Hudson River, which is less than a mile. So, there is really no single city in New Jersey that is closest to New York City. Rather, all of the New Jersey cities that are directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan are the closest. Again, Hoboken may technically be the closest, but only by a few hundred feet or so. See the Related Link below for a satellite map. The portion of the Hudson River that separates Manhattan from New Jersey is clearly marked in red. On the right side of the red line is the island of Manhattan. On the left side of the red line are the New Jersey cities mentioned above: Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Union City, West New York, Guttenberg, North Bergen, Fairview, Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Fort Lee and Englewood Cliffs. ACTUALLY BAYONNE MAY BE THE CLOSEST TO NYC. IT IS SEPARATED FROM NYC BY THE KILL VAN KULL. THE NYC I'M TALKING ABOUT IS STATEN ISLAND (RICHMOND BOROUGH) WHICH IS TECHNICALLY NYC. I BELIEVE THAT THE KVK IS NARROWER THAN THE HUDSON RIVER.
What body of land is directly across the Hudson River from Jersey City?

What is the driving time between New Jersey and New York City?
It takes about 3 minutes (up to 25 in bad traffic) to drive the two-thirds of a mile (just over 1 kilometer) across the Hudson River from New York City to New Jersey or vice versa. The Hudson River separates Manhattan island from New Jersey. Manhattan is on the east side of the Hudson River, and New Jersey is on the west side. The George Washington Bridge, which traverses the Hudson and connects Manhattan to New Jersey, is 3500 feet (1067 meters) long. So, the distance between New York City and New Jersey is about 3500 feet or 1067 meters.
