The Hackensack pre-St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl 3-14-26

Ooo – another Hackensack first! AND…another opportunity to get shirt-faced legitimately (hey – doesn’t the fact that the word “crawl” is used imply that participants willingly wind up unable to walk upright for some strange reason?).

 

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got nothing against having a drink or twelve. In fact, later today, I just might…………..never mind.

 

Event details? This young lady was kind enough to post it all on Instagram (I hope she doesn’t take it down the day I post this).

At the end, she mentions that there’s a trolley to get you from bar to bar. That’ll minimize your scraped knees from all that crawling.

 

It’ll be nice to see the Hackensack trolley again – I last saw it parked on Court Street at the Hackensack Christmas Tree Lighting in 2023…………a very festive and colorful vehicle:

 

Actually, I probably won’t see it during the crawl because I’ll be doing a condensed shoot during the very early afternoon because I’ll be busy the rest of the day. I just want to get a feel for what’ll be going on.

 

The best way to do that is to go almost all the way down Main St to the first stop at SideBar at 45 Main.

 

Here are some early pre-crawling arrivals:

One of them is taking pictures of something else.

 

I went across the street to see what it was he was shooting.

 

It was a major disappointment! The “trolley”:

Where’s the HACKENSACK trolley? There’s nothing festive about this one. Oh, wait! The back end is slightly festive:

But it’s not from Hackensack or even Bergen County……….try Hawthorne.

 

There would be nothing else worth shooting. This bland “trolley” would just be parked near 4 other bars/restaurants, so I was done.

Well, not quite.

 

About 2¼ hours later, from home, I saw it turning onto State St. It had just come off Main St after leaving the last stop on the crawl – Noches de Colombia at 382 Main:

 

The rear end of the “trolley” – a fitting ending.

 

Hope y’all had fun.
