My mouth is watering just writing this. Is there anything better than cheese?

Well 🎶 start spreading the news 🎶, because there’s a festival returning to Hoboken, NJ that truly understands the assignment: give us New Jerseyans fresh mozzarella!

This will be the 12th year that the Hoboken Mutzfest is being held, and it’s aging like a fine wine (which, of course, would pair nicely with some cheese).

In addition to the delicious mutz, there will be family-friendly activities, live music (including a Frank Sinatra sing-a-long), a canal eating contest, and a beer & wine garden.

As if you needed any more incentive to go try a ton of fresh mozzarella - proceeds from Mutzfest will go toward the Hoboken Bike Camp for those with disabilities and several other community initiatives that Hoboken Family Alliance funds.

The 12th annual Hoboken Mutzfest will take place on Sunday, Apr. 28 under the 14th Street Viaduct from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

LOOK: Go Inside Frank Sinatra's Private Desert Hideaway

For some, Frank Sinatra was the epitome of cool. It's no surprise his secluded California desert hideaway matched his persona. The sprawling property, which is currently on the market for just under $4 million is like look at the time capsule of a resort in the late '60s/early '70s.
