During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Children's Museum of the Arts
Interactive workshop programs for children ages 1 to 12 and their families are the attraction here. Kids dabble in puppet making and computer drawing or join in singalongs and live performances. Also look for rotating exhibitions of the museum's permanent collection featuring WPA work. Call or check the website for the current exhibition and activities schedule.
World Trade Center site (Ground Zero)
The World Trade Center dominated lower Manhattan. The record-breaking complex occupied 16 acres, and its 12 million square feet of rentable office space housed more than 350 firms and organizations. About 50,000 people worked in its precincts, and some 70,000 others (tourists and businesspeople) visited each day. The vast complex included, in addition to two 110-story towers -- one of which awarded visitors with breathtaking views from the Top of the World observation deck, more than 1,350 feet in the air -- five additional buildings (including a Marriott hotel), a plaza the size of four football fields, rich with outdoor sculpture, a vast underground shopping mall with retailers running the gamut from Radio Shack to Coach, and a full slate of restaurants, including the spectacular Windows on the World, the city's ultimate special-occasion restaurant.Then the first plane hit the north tower, Tower 1, at 8:45am on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. By 10:30am, it was all gone, along with nearly 3,000 innocent victims.A viewing wall on the Church Street side of the now barren site was erected; on that "Wall of Heroes" are the names of those who lost their lives that day along with the history of the site, including photos of the construction of the World Trade Center in the late 1960s and how, after it opened in 1972, it changed the New York skyline and downtown. A walk along the Wall of Heroes remains a painfully moving experience.After much discussion, designer Daniel Libeskind's Freedom Tower proposal was chosen to be built eventually on the former WTC site. Also, in an open competition that received 5,000 entries from over 63 nations and 49 states, a design for a memorial commemorating the tragic events of 9/11 was chosen. The winner, titled Reflecting Absence, is two large voids, with pools cascading 30 feet into footprints of the Twin Towers, and the names of the victims listed around the pools. But it will be years before either the Tower or the Memorial will be unveiled.Additionally, the gates of Trinity Church will continue to serve as an impromptu memorial, brimming with tokens of remembrance and blessing left by visitors from around the world.
Flatiron Building
This triangular masterpiece was one of the first skyscrapers. Its knife-blade wedge shape is the only way the building could fill the triangular property created by the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, and that happy coincidence created one of the city's most distinctive buildings. Built in 1902 and fronted with limestone and terra cotta (not iron), the Flatiron measures only 6 feet across at its narrow end. So called for its resemblance to the laundry appliance, it was originally named the Fuller Building, then later "Burnham's Folly" (since folks were certain that architect Daniel Burnham's 21-story structure would fall down). It didn't. There's no observation deck, and the building mainly houses publishing offices, but there are a few shops on the ground floor. The building's existence has served to name the neighborhood around it -- the Flatiron District, home to a bevy of smart restaurants and shops.
Hotel Giraffe
Located in the increasingly fashionable Madison Park area, this hotel is a real charmer with a very, calm, intimate feel to it. Guest rooms are stylish, evoking an urban European character, with high ceilings, velveteen upholstered chairs, and original black-and-white photographs from the '20s and '30s. All the rooms are good size with high ceilings, while deluxe rooms and suites feature French doors that lead to small balconies with large windows and remote-controlled blackout shades. Bathrooms are spacious with plenty of marble counter space and glass-paneled doors, and all rooms have very generous marble-topped desks with free high-speed Internet. But what really separates this hotel from so many others are its services: A continental breakfast is included in the rate and served in the hotel's elegant lobby, where coffee, cookies, and tea are available all afternoon, and wine, cheese, and piano music are offered each evening. There is also a lovely rooftop garden -- the perfect place for a glass of wine or morning coffee during warm weather.
The Melrose Hotel
This was once the most famous hotel in New York -- for women only and known as The Barbizon. It first admitted men in 1981, and in 2002, after a $40 million renovation, became the Melrose Hotel. The Barbizon was the first stop in New York for professional, educated women, including Joan Crawford, Grace Kelly, and Candice Bergen. Designed as an eclectic mix of Italian renaissance, Gothic, and Islamic architecture, this lovely old building, with its twin deco towers, stands out majestically amongst the glass and steel of its Upper East Side location. From a dorm-size petite room to a stately, sprawling tower suite, the range of rooms and the corresponding rates can also be considered eclectic. You can spend as little as $150 a night or as much as $1,700. All rooms, no matter the size, are well kept, offer plenty of light, and are equipped with all the basic amenities. Standard and superior rooms come with small workstations, while the magnificent (and very expensive) tower suites come with terraces, some as large as 500 square feet. There is a very good Equinox Fitness Club and Spa, with a nearly 60-foot-long pool on the premises; inexplicably, guests must pay an $18 fee daily to use it. The Library Bar in the lobby serves light snacks throughout the day and the hotel has a "Sign and Dine" program with some highly rated local restaurants. A few blocks from Bloomingdale's, Madison Avenue, and Central Park, The Melrose is a nice midrange alternative to other more pricey hotels in the area.
The Lucerne
This magnificent 1903 landmark building has had many incarnations over the years, including one as a dormitory for Columbia University students. But most recently it has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, and that transformation has been a triumph on many levels. As a longtime resident of the Upper West Side, I can easily say the Lucerne best captures the feel of that very special neighborhood. Service here is impeccable, especially for a moderately priced hotel; the attentive GM is on top of every detail and everything is fresh and immaculate. The rooms are all comfortable and big enough for kings, queens, or two doubles, with attractive bathrooms complete with travertine counters. Some of the rooms have views not only of the Hudson River, but of one of my favorite pubs, the Dublin House. The suites are extra special here and include a kitchenette, a stocked minifridge, a microwave, and a sitting room with a sofa and extra television. In 2004, the highly rated Nice Matin opened in the hotel, offering room service or breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you don't want to dine there, you can sample some of the neighborhood food at nearby Zabar's or H&H Bagels.
