A canvas collage for vibrant and creative images, Instagram has taken off as one of the largest social media platforms with nearly 600 million active monthly users. Just trailing Facebook and YouTube as the most visited social networking site, the visual app allows users to completely brand their business or personal feed through color coordinated images, high-quality photos, and unique visual opportunities. Instagram has become way more than a collage of photos – it has become a conglomerate of feeds that exuberates individual experiences by featuring eye-catching photos highlighting everyday life.

Our team members have searched far and wide for the trendiest Instagram feeds in the well-known, 20-somethings hot spot: Hoboken, NJ. Take a look at our picks and let us know if you agree!

Perceived as the ultimate lifestyle feed, Hoboken Girl shines a spotlight on the best things Hoboken has to offer – from gluten free eateries to Hudson County trending topics, the eclectic account covers it all.

“Be present on social media — post at least once per day. Social media, for many businesses, is a lifeline. For us, it’s how we attract people to our site. For businesses, it’s found that people are less often going to Google to search for something than they are searching Facebook or Instagram to find it, which is incredible. Consumers/followers want to know that you’re active and engaged in the community around you on social media (and in real life), which will in turn make them engage with you.” – Jen, Hoboken Girl
