NSYNC Members Joey Fatone + Lance Bass Spotted in Hoboken<\/p>\n

Naturally, the comment section quickly filled up with Hoboken locals reacting in real time. Plenty of people chimed in to say hello, share their surprise, + collectively process the fact that Joey Fatone and Lance Bass were just casually dancing in town. One comment in particular caught our eye: Lance Bass himself asked, \u201cAre we moving to Hoboken?\u201d So, of course, we at The Hoboken Girl needed to do some investigating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nWhy Were Joey Fatone + Lance Bass in Hoboken?<\/p>\n

We did a little digging because if Hoboken is about to gain two new neighbors from NSYNC, this is absolutely the information we need to know. One possible explanation for the Hoboken waterfront sighting is the duo\u2019s upcoming hosting gig. Joey Fatone and Lance Bass are set to host Cocktail Wars, a new Versant-owned<\/a> mixology competition series.\n<\/p>\n

The series will feature the former NSYNC members teaming up to judge bartenders as they battle it out for $10,000 per episode. The 10-part competition will spotlight mixologists as they compete on flavor combinations, technique, and overall cocktail-making skills, alongside a rotating lineup of celebrity guests and an expert judge. The show is expected to film in the New York metropolitan area, which could explain why Joey and Lance were seen hanging out in Hoboken.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

This Isn\u2019t Hoboken\u2019s First NSYNC Moment<\/p>\n

And just to be clear, this is not Hoboken\u2019s first run-in with NSYNC band members. On October 5th, 2023, Joey Fatone was in Hoboken for a snack-filled tailgate event at Wicked Wolf. The event was hosted by Heluva Good! Dips as part of the brand\u2019s \u201cNo Team Required\u201d tailgate food tour. See more about that here<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

As for whether Lance Bass and\/or Joey Fatone are actually moving to Hoboken, that remains TBD. But we will be keeping an eye on their comments, the waterfront, and Zillow. You know, for journalism.\n<\/p>\n
