As you approach Kohl's Jersey City, something in the distance may catch your ear. It's not the ferry to nearby Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. It's not the tick of the neon red Colgate clock, one of the world's largest clocks. One of the dozens of diverse parades that New Jersey's second largest city holds each year? Nope. But it is a procession of sorts.

The sound is car horns as drivers navigate the Holland Tunnel toll plaza just to the north of Kohl's. The fury, and what keeps those horns blowing, is nine lanes converging into two and more than 40,000 drivers who use the tunnel each day to traverse the Hudson River to enter Lower Manhattan and New York City.

While the din of the horns may be inescapable, you don't have to subject yourself to the traffic to pay us a visit. Located between Washington Street and Marvin Boulevard at the Newport Centre mall, Kohl's is accessible from New York City via PATH trains, with drop-offs just a few hundred yards from our entrance. Hudson-Bergen Light Rail trains use the same stop, making visits from Hoboken to the north and Bayonne to the south just as easy. If you're riding the bus, there are options for A&C buses (Nos. 4 and 31) and NJ Transit (Nos. 86P and 68).

If you have any trouble finding Kohl's Jersey City, use the 37-story Newport Tower across the street as a landmark. And, of course, don't forget the sound of the Holland Tunnel symphony, our own little homing beacon.
