Boulevard East (officially John F. Kennedy Boulevard East, and sometimes referred to as JFK Boulevard East) is a two-way, mostly two lane, scenic[1][2] county road[3] in the municipalities of Weehawken, West New York, Guttenberg and North Bergen in North Hudson, New Jersey. Apart from small sections at either end, the road runs along the crest of the Hudson Palisades,[4] affording it views of the Hudson River and the New York City skyline. Developed at the turn of the 20th century,[2][5] the residential road is characterized by an eclectic mix of 20th-century architecture, including private homes as well as mid and high-rise apartment buildings, mostly on its western side, with a promenade and parks along its eastern side. It is also the setting for Edward Hopper's 1934 painting East Wind Over Weehawken, which is considered one of his best works.
