Hoboken waterfront transforms into World Cup headquarters

With the FIFA World Cup intensity building toward the final showdown on July 19, the W Hoboken is inviting soccer fans to turn the waterfront into their local stadium. Both the Halifax restaurant and the W Living Room have announced they will broadcast every remaining match of the tournament, offering a premier viewing experience on the banks of the Hudson River.

Fans can catch the action across the property, with screens set up in the Halifax dining room, at the Halifax bar, and in the stylish W Living Room. When the weather allows, the hotel will also host outdoor viewings on the patio, providing a picturesque backdrop of the Manhattan skyline for every goal.

To mark the tournament, Executive Chef Seadon Shouse has introduced a creative, rotating $45 World Cup Prix Fixe Menu. Designed to celebrate the international spirit of the competition, the menu shifts every few days to reflect the culinary traditions of the nations currently competing on the pitch. Having already featured French and Senegalese-inspired dishes, the menu will continue to evolve as the remaining teams advance.

The final stretch schedule

For those looking to secure a spot for the final matches, the schedule is as follows:

  • Quarterfinals: Friday, July 10 (3 p.m.) and Saturday, July 11 (5 p.m. & 9 p.m.)
  • Semifinals: Tuesday, July 14 (3 p.m.) and Wednesday, July 15 (3 p.m.)
  • Third Place Match: Saturday, July 18 (5 p.m.)
  • FIFA World Cup Final: Sunday, July 19 (3 p.m.)

“Halifax is the perfect place to gather with friends, enjoy globally inspired cuisine, and watch the world’s biggest sporting event in one of Hoboken’s most vibrant settings,” the restaurant stated in a release.

Reservations are strongly recommended to ensure a prime seat for the final matches and can be made at HalifaxHoboken.com. The hotel is located at 225 River St., Hoboken, N.J.
