The most hipster city in the country is...Hoboken?

Apparently America's coolest city is located in Jersey, and it looks like this. Kinda.

Hobokeners are the hippest of them all, according to a new ranking from website FindTheBest.com. The site compared cities with more than 50,000 people, and determined which have high percentages of college grads between the ages of 20 and 34. Then they looked at how many cafés and yoga studios there were for every 10,000 residents and voilà: Hoboken was the winner.

Since we don’t quite believe Williamsburg and Bushwick should take a backseat to New Jersey, we’ve put some of the most iconic hipsters we know into Hoboken, to see if they fit. Flip through and decide for yourself.
