Hoboken Public Safety sequesters the Lepercons
Today’s bar crawl deemed Leprecon is going off smoothly with a sizable reduction in crowds and resulting crowd control from two years ago.

Service calls at this time are down substantially from last year, where an improvement from the prior year was significant.

Numbers are growing and downtown is seeing longer lines and heavy activity on First Street similar to last year.
