Longtime Goodman's Clothing Shop In Hoboken Will Now Be Corner Café

HOBOKEN, NJ — A longtime clothing shop on Washington and First streets in Hoboken will soon get a new purpose.

Goodman's clothing, which anchored that corner until the 1990s — across from City Hall — is being renovated into a café.

The store was originally opened 101 years ago by Benjamin Goodman. As the large painted sign on the First Street wall indicates, he ran the store as a haberdashery that also sold sportswear and boys' and men's clothes.

The second floor will remain a commercial space, according to permits.

The first floor will hold the café. One listing indicates that the new eatery will be called Café Mango.
