An iconic Hoboken landmark is facing criticism from a celebrity across the Hudson River.<\/p>\n
Bravo TV host Andy Cohen recently took to Instagram to air his frustrations about the lit-up red \u201cW\u201d on top of the W Hotel in Hoboken. <\/p>\n
From his apartment in Lower Manhattan, Cohen posted an Instagram story, calling the sign bright and urged the hotel to dim it. <\/p>\n
He can be seen in the video from his apartment in Lower Manhattan saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night I posted about how bright the lighting is on top of the W hotel in Hoboken New Jersey. It is a blazingly bright W. And I implored our friends at the W hotel to dim it. Dim the light for those of us in Manhattan who look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cohen\u2019s complaint has sparked several responses from Hoboken residents, who didn\u2019t dim their perspective. <\/p>\n
\u201cLiving in the city, you should expect a lot of lights and if something across the river is bothering [him], then I think he needs to look inward at himself,\u201d said Laura Snyder, Hoboken. <\/p>\n
The W Hotel, which is located on River Street, is known for its bright red logo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, that\u2019s like complaining about the Empire State Building being lit up\u2019\u201d said Christina Kingsley, of Hoboken. \u201cIf it\u2019s a color that we don\u2019t like, it\u2019s not like there\u2019s a whole big campaign on social media about it. So mind your own business and if you don\u2019t like it, why don\u2019t you come on our side of the river and take in our view? Maybe it\u2019ll make you feel a little bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some longtime residents don\u2019t understand the late-night television hosts\u2019 perspective, considering the history of the waterfront. <\/p>\n
\u201cI remember people really complained when the Maxwell House Coffee company took down the \u2018Good to the last drop\u2019 neon sign that was on the shore there,\u201d said Martin Cole, a nearby resident and employee. \u201cAnd the same in Jersey City. They kept the Colgate clock around because people wanted that clock. And don\u2019t know the brightness of this compared to those, but I guess it\u2019s just a matter of opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An iconic Hoboken landmark is facing criticism from a celebrity across the Hudson River.
