It was played in New Jersey. The game was played on June 19, 1846 at the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey (just across the Hudson River west of Manhattan, between the modern locations of the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels).
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.
No, the Hudson River forms the boundary between New Jersey and Manhattan. The eastern half belongs to New York, while the western half belongs to New Jersey.
Yes. The PATH train stops in Hoboken. The PATH train connects Jersey City, Hoboken, Harrison and Newark to Manhattan. The PATH train also connects to the A-C-E (the blue New York City subway line) in Manhattan.
The Jane Hotel is located at 113 Jane street in New York City, New York. This is in Lower Manhattan's West Village near NYU and the Hudson River Park. It is directly across the Hudson River from Hoboken, New Jersey.
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.
Manhattan Island is directly across the Hudson River from Jersey 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.
The Hudson River flows down the west side of Manhattan and the east side of New Jersey.
The Hudson river is located in the eastern half of New York State, flowing south and emptying into Upper New York Bay between Manhattan Island and New Jersey.
