During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Abyssinian Baptist Church
The most famous of Harlem's more than 400 houses of worship is this Baptist church, founded downtown in 1808 by African-American and Ethiopian merchants. It was moved uptown to Harlem back in the 1920s by Adam Clayton Powell Sr., who built it into the largest Protestant congregation -- white or black -- in America. His son, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (for whom the adjoining boulevard was named), carried on his tradition, and also became the first-ever black U.S. congressman. Abyssinian is now the domain of the fiery, activist-minded Rev. Calvin O. Butts, whom the chamber of commerce has declared a "Living Treasure." The Sunday morning services -- at 9 and 11am -- offer a wonderful opportunity to experience the Harlem gospel tradition.

Metropolitan Museum of Art
Home of blockbuster after blockbuster exhibition, the Metropolitan Museum of Art attracts some 5 million people a year, more than any other spot in New York City. And it's no wonder -- this place is magnificent. At 1.6 million square feet, this is the largest museum in the western hemisphere. Nearly all the world's cultures are on display through the ages -- from Egyptian mummies to ancient Greek statuary to Islamic carvings to Renaissance paintings to Native American masks to 20th-century decorative arts -- and masterpieces are the rule. You could go once a week for a lifetime and still find something new on each visit.So unless you plan on spending your entire vacation in the museum (some people do), you cannot see the entire collection. My recommendation is to give it a good day -- or better yet, 2 half days so you don't burn out. One good way to get an overview is to take advantage of the little-known Museum Highlights Tour, offered every day at various times throughout the day (usually between 10:15am and 3:15pm; tours also offered in Spanish, Italian, German, and Korean). Even some New Yorkers who've spent many hours in the museum could profit from this once-over. Visit the museum's website for a schedule of this and subject-specific walking tours (Old Master Paintings, American Period Rooms, Arts of China, Islamic Art, and so on); you can also get a schedule of the day's tours at the Visitor Services desk when you arrive. A daily schedule of Gallery Talks is available as well.The least overwhelming way to see the Met on your own is to pick up a map at the round desk in the entry hall and choose to concentrate on what you like, whether it's 17th-century paintings, American furniture, or the art of the South Pacific. Highlights include the American Wing's Garden Court, with its 19th-century sculpture; the terrific ground-level Costume Hall; and the Frank Lloyd Wright room. The beautifully renovated Roman and Greek galleries are overwhelming, but in a marvelous way, as are the collections of Byzantine Art and later Chinese art. The highlight of the astounding Egyptian collection is the Temple of Dendur, in a dramatic, purpose-built glass-walled gallery with Central Park views. The Greek Galleries, which at last fully realize McKim, Mead & White's grand neoclassical plans of 1917, and the Ancient Near East Galleries, are particularly of note. But it all depends on what your interests are. Special exhibitions can range from Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi: Father and Daughter Painters in Baroque Italy to Earthly Bodies: Irving Penn's Nudes, 1949-50.In a response to the huge crowds, in 2003 the Met began opening "Holiday Mondays." On those Mondays, such as Memorial Day or Labor Day, the museum is open from 9:30am to 5:30pm.To purchase tickets for concerts and lectures, call tel. 212/570-3949 (Mon-Sat 9:30am-5pm). The museum contains several dining facilities, including a full-service restaurant serving Continental cuisine (tel. 212/570-3964 for reservations). The roof garden is worth visiting if you're here from spring to autumn, offering peaceful views over Central Park and the city.The Met's medieval collections are housed in Upper Manhattan at the Cloisters;.Evenings at the Met--On Friday and Saturday evenings, the Met remains open late not only for art viewing but also for cocktails in the Great Hall Balcony Bar (5-8pm) and classical music from a string ensemble. A slate of after-hours programs (gallery talks, walking tours, family programs) changes by the week; call for the current schedule. The restaurant stays open until 10pm (last reservation at 8:30pm), and dinner is usually accompanied by piano music.

The Frick Collection
Henry Clay Frick could afford to be an avid collector of European art after amassing a fortune as a pioneer in the coke and steel industries at the turn of the 20th century. To house his treasures and himself, he hired architects Carrère & Hastings to build this 18th-century French-style mansion (1914), one of the most beautiful remaining on Fifth Avenue.Most appealing about the Frick is its intimate size and setting. This is a living testament to New York's vanished Gilded Age -- the interior still feels like a private home (albeit a really, really rich guy's home) graced with beautiful paintings, rather than a museum. Come here to see the classics by some of the world's most famous painters: Titian, Bellini, Rembrandt, Turner, Vermeer, El Greco, and Goya, to name only a few. A highlight of the collection is the Fragonard Room, graced with the sensual rococo series The Progress of Love. The portrait of Montesquieu by Whistler is also stunning. Included in the price of admission, the AcousticGuide audio tour is particularly useful because it allows you to follow your own path rather than a proscribed route. A free 22-minute video presentation is screened in the Music Room every half-hour from 10am to 4:30pm (from 1:30 on Sun); starting with this helps to set the tone for what you'll see.In addition, free chamber music concerts are held twice a month, generally every other Sunday at 5pm in fall and winter and select Thursdays at 5:45pm in warm weather, and once-a-month lectures are offered select Wednesdays at 5:30pm; call or visit the website for the current schedule and ticket information.

W Times Square
Who said Times Square hotels can't be hip? The W Hotel group, a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, bucked that trend by bringing a distinct downtown feel to the heart of Times Square. Take the elevator to the 7th floor to the ultra-modern, loungelike lobby to check-in, where the only way to distinguish hotel employees from guests is the tiny "W" pin they wear. Otherwise, everyone is dressed in the dark tones of Kenneth Cole-designed "urban" attire. The lobby bar always seems to be busy -- or maybe that's just the lounge music that plays continuously throughout all the hotel's public spaces. Most rooms boast magnificent views of the neon spectacle of Times Square, but all that neon means a very bright room; thankfully, the shades do a good job of blocking out most of that light at night and the double-paned windows keep the rooms surprisingly quiet. Standard rooms are compact, but roomy enough, with a big plexiglass desk, mirrors everywhere (is that good or bad?), a 27-inch TV, and the Westin (sister company of Starwood) Heavenly Bed. Bathrooms in the standard rooms are small and a bit clumsy, featuring a semi-open shower stall and a huge sink that takes up what little counter space there is. Suites are similarly designed and will get you an extra bathroom and a flat-screen television. The hotel's restaurant, Blue Fin, is highly rated for seafood, and The Whiskey, run by nightclub impresario Rande Gerber, is a popular drinks destination.

The Muse
Here's a boutique hotel for travelers who desire the tone and service a boutique hotel can offer, but find no appeal in the often hard-edged modern design that usually goes hand-in-hand with the concept.You'll know that the Muse is something different the moment you step beyond the avowedly modern exterior into the warmly contemporary, mahogany-paneled lobby. Management has done away with the traditional front desk in favor of sit-down concierge service that makes everyone feel like an extra-special, warmly welcomed guest. An attentive bellman will familiarize you with your well-equipped room. Each one features attractive classic-meets-contemporary decor rich with warm woods and soft pastel tones; a hand-screened duvet adds a unique and arty touch. In keeping with the hotel's emphasis on "anticipatory service," everything is designed with comfort and functionality in mind. Pluses include plump feather beds, CD players, cordless phones, business cards personalized with your name and in-house direct-dial line, and handsome, well-outfitted bathrooms.Off the lobby is District, one of Broadway's best restaurants, with warm, comfortable interiors by David Rockwell (Nobu). A star on every front.

The Stanhope Park Hyatt New York
When you have the good fortune to be located directly opposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you had better do your best to complement the grandeur of that structure -- the Stanhope is more than up to that estimable task. This elegant, grande dame built in 1926 has been expertly run since 1999 by the Park Hyatt group, providing ultra-attentive service without being stuffy or overbearing. The rooms, which were renovated in 2003, are spacious, with a soothing, old-world, European design (just like its neighbor across the street). Bathrooms are roomy and equally elegant, with Italian marble and European fabrics. Suites are even more luxurious and come as large as two bedrooms. The lobby is small with very little seating, but there is a cozy, clubby reading room off of it where coffee is available every morning, and an intimate lobby bar that is a popular refuge for many Fifth Avenue residents. In the spring and summer, The Terrace at Melrose features a Parisian-style outdoor cafe where the people-watching can't get much better. To add to the hotel's already romantic feel, every spring and fall, cabaret performer Steve Ross becomes the resident singer and pianist. And along with the Met, the Guggenheim, Whitney, Cooper Hewitt, and Frick museums are all within walking distance; you can't do better if museum-going is your thing.
