Tamales from Zafra. Fresh mutz from Vito's. Cannolis from Carlo's. Those are just some of the bites on the menu at "A Taste of Hoboken," the North Hudson YMCA's annual fundraiser that celebrates all things delectable in the Mile Square City. More than 30 restaurants and bakeries, and over 20 purveyors of beer, wine and spirits will be serving samples of their signature dishes and drinks on Tuesday night. Live music will be provided by local jazz outfit Swingadelic. All the proceeds from the event will benefit the YMCA, which has nearly completed a $15 million affordable housing project.

Instructors from Club H held a zumba class at Hoboken High School, with proceeds benefiting the HHS Junior class.
Almost 50 sweaty women—and a couple of lucky guys—moving their hips to loud and fast music. No, it’s not the Mile Square’s newest club, it was the Hoboken High School auditorium on Wednesday night. Partnering with Club H and instructors from the gym's popular Zumba class, participants shook what their mommas gave them, and helped raise money for Hoboken High's class of 2012. “We have done a number of different fundraisers, but we thought, instead of selling cookies or popcorn or doing something cheesy, let's try this,” said Judy Burrell, the HHS class of 2012 advisor. Burrell collaborated with Board of Education member Irene Sobolov, and when Club H heard about the idea, they were onboard immediately. “Zumba is our most popular class, so …

The best of Hoboken (and nearby) gathered to rock around the Christmas tree at Willie McBride's.
Hoboken's annual Holiday Banding Concert is a bit like an office holiday party for artists: everyone knows each other and the night gets crazier as the beer starts flowing. More than that, it is probably one of the best annual showcases of Hoboken's current (and thriving) music scene. The event, organized by Geri Fallo and the Department of Cultural Affairs, also doubles as a fundraiser. Thursday night's show at Willie McBride's raised close to $700 for the 2011 Movies Under the Stars outdoor film series. Volunteer from True Mentors manned the front table, taking the $10 admission and selling tickets for an impromptu 50/50 raffle (as emcee Tom Vincent quipped to Gerri Fallo, "Do you just carry a roll of tickets with you?") Vincent kicked …

Hoboken families came out to a Haiti benefit show at Maxwell's Sunday afternoon
Kids in Hoboken got their chance to sing and dance at Maxwell's on Sunday afternoon, all while helping to raise funds for the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund. The afternoon show—later the venue hosted an evening show—was part of "Hoboken for Haiti," a daylong effort to give back to the Haitian people, devastated by the recent earthquake, which was 7.0 on the Richter scale. The entrance fee was simply a donation of $10 per person, or $20 per family. "It's great to see local people coming together to do this," said Rudi Herve, a Hobokenite who came with his daughter Rebecca, a 20-month old who was dancing with other kids at the start of the show. "We came out to support Haiti, of course, but it was a cold afternoon, so what better way to spend it?" …
