During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Gray Line New York Tours
Gray Line offers just about every sightseeing tour option and combination you could want. There are bus tours by day and by night that run uptown, downtown, and all around the town, as well as bus combos with Circle Line cruises, helicopter flights, museum admittance, and guided visits of sights. There's no real point to purchasing some combination tours -- you don't need a guide to take you to the Statue of Liberty, and you don't save any money on admission by buying the combo ticket. I've found Gray Line to put a higher premium on accuracy than the other big tour-bus operators, so this is your best bet among the biggies.
Museum of Television & Radio
If you can resist the allure of this museum, I'd wager you've spent the last 70 years in a bubble. You can watch and hear all the great personalities of TV and radio -- from Uncle Miltie to Johnny Carson to Jerry Seinfeld -- at a private console (available for 2 hr.). You can also conduct computer searches to pick out the great moments of history, viewing almost anything that made its way onto the airwaves, from the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show to the crumbling of the Berlin Wall (the collection consists of 75,000 programs and commercials). Selected programs are also presented in two theaters and two screening rooms, which can range from "Barbra Streisand: The Television Performances" to little-seen Monty Python episodes.
Museum of Modern Art
After two years of being temporarily ensconced in Queens, MoMA returned to its original Manhattan location in late 2004. And though the address is the same, the space is now, with over 630,000 square-feet, almost twice the size of the original. The renovation, designed by Yoshio Taniguchi, highlights space and light, with open rooms, high ceilings, and gardens?a beautiful work of architecture and a perfect complement to the art that resides within. This is where you?ll find van Gogh?s Starry Night, Cezanne?s Bather, Picasso?s Les Demoiselles d?Avignon, and the amazing sculpture by Rodin, Monument to Balzac. Whenever I visit, I like to browse the fun ?Architecture and Design? department, with examples of design for modern appliances, furniture, and even sports cars. MoMA also features edgy new exhibits and a celebrated film series that attracts serious cinephiles. But the heart of the museum, as it was before the renovation, remains the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, which has been enlarged; the museum?s new design affords additional views of this lovely space from other parts of the museum. My only complaint with the new MoMA is its very high ($20) admission charge for adults.
Mayfair Hotel
Be prepared -- the rooms here are tiny. The elevator is, too. That's it for the bad news. Now the good: The Mayfair is one of the Theater District's friendliest and best-kept budget hotels, and the location couldn't be better. Each room boasts a smallish but nice black-and-white tile bathroom (all but a few singles have tub/shower combos) and unstylish but perfectly nice decor. The wood-paneled lobby is more elegant than most in this price range; just off it is the cute French bistro Le Garrick, an attraction in its own right. A super-nice staff is merely the icing on the cake. Don't be frightened off by the rack-rate range; while prices can soar in peak seasons, rates generally stay well below $200 (which they should -- if you're quoted more, stay elsewhere).
Le Parker Meridien
Not many hotels in New York can rival the attributes of this hotel: Its location on 57th Street, not too far from Times Square and a close walk to Central Park and the shopping of Fifth Avenue, is practically perfect; the 17,000 square-foot fitness center, called Gravity, features state-of-the-art equipment, a basketball and a racquetball court, a spa, and a rooftop pool; three excellent restaurants, including Norma's , where breakfast is an art, and the aptly named Burger Joint , rated by many as the best hamburger in the city; a gorgeous, bustling lobby that also serves as a public space; and elevators with televisions that continuously show Tom and Jerry and Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, and Charlie Chaplin shorts that are a wonder for the kids. The spacious hotel rooms, though a bit on the Ikea side, have a fun feel to them, with hidden drawers and swirling television platforms, inventively exploiting an economical use of space. Rooms have wood platform beds with feather beds; built-ins that include large work desks, stylish Aeron chairs, free high-speed Internet, and 32-inch flat-screen televisions with VCR/CD and DVD players. The slate and limestone bathrooms are large, but unfortunately come only with shower. A stay at Le Parker Meridien is definitely a New York experience in itself.
Gershwin Hotel
Nestled between Le Trapeze, an S&M club, and the Museum of Sex, and with its own glowing protruding horns as your landmark, the close proximity to erotica is really just a coincidence. This creative-minded, Warholesque hotel caters to up-and-coming artistic types -- and well-established names with an eye for good value -- with its bold modern art collection and wild style. The lobby was renovated in 2003, and along with a new bar, Gallery at the Gershwin, much of the original art remains. The standard rooms are clean and bright, with Picasso-style wall murals and Philippe Starck-ish takes on motel furnishings. Superior rooms are best, as they're newly renovated, and well worth the extra $10; all have either a queen bed, two twins, or two doubles, plus a newish private bathroom with cute, colorful tile. If you're bringing the brood, two-room suites, or Family Rooms, are a good option. The hotel is more service-oriented than you usually see at this price level, and the staff is very professional.
