During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Museum of Arts and Design
Formerly called the American Craft Museum, this small but aesthetically pleasing museum is the nation's top showcase for contemporary crafts. The collection focuses on objects that are prime examples of form and function, ranging from jewelry to baskets to vessels to furniture. You'll see a strong emphasis on material as well as craft, whether it be fiber, ceramics, or metal. Special exhibitions can range from expressionist clay sculpture to fine bookbinding, and can celebrate movements or single artisans. Or just take your chances and stop in -- you're unlikely to be disappointed. Stop into the gorgeous shop even if you don't make it into the museum .
American Museum of the Moving Image
Head here if you truly love movies. Unlike Manhattan's Museum of Television & Radio , which is more of a library, this is a thought-provoking museum examining how moving images -- film, video, and digital -- are made, marketed, and shown; it encourages you to consider their impact on society as well. It's housed in part of the Kaufman Astoria Studios, which once were host to W. C. Fields and the Marx Brothers, and more recently have been used by Martin Scorsese (The Age of Innocence), Woody Allen (Radio Days), Bill Cosby (his Cosby TV series), and Sesame Street.The museum's core exhibit, Behind the Screen, is a thoroughly engaging two-floor installation that takes you step-by-step through the process of making, marketing, and exhibiting moving images. There are more than 1,000 artifacts on hand, from technological gadgetry to costumes, and interactive exhibits where you can try your own hand at sound-effects editing or create your own animated shorts, among other simulations. Special-effects benchmarks -- from the mechanical mouth of Jaws to the blending of past and present in Forrest Gump -- are explored and explained. And in a nod to Hollywood nostalgia, memorabilia that wasn't swept up by the Planet Hollywood chain is displayed, including a Hopalong Cassidy lunch box, an E. T. doll, celebrity coloring books, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis hand puppets. Also on display are sets from Seinfeld. Even better are the daily hands-on demonstrations, where you can watch film editors, animators, and the like at work."Insiders' Hour" tours are offered every day at 2pm. Additionally, the museum hosts free film and video screenings, often accompanied by artist appearances, lectures, or panel discussions. Seminars often feature renowned film and TV pros discussing their craft; past guests have included Spike Lee, Terry Gilliam, Chuck Jones, and Atom Egoyan, so it's definitely worth seeing if someone's on while you're in town.
Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum
The most astonishing thing about the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid is how it can be simultaneously so big and so small. It's a few football fields long, weighs 40,000 tons, holds 40 aircraft, and sometimes doubles as a ballroom for society functions. But stand there and think about landing an A-12 jet on the deck and suddenly it's minuscule. Furthermore, in the narrow passageways below, you'll find it isn't quite the roomiest of vessels. Now a National Historic Landmark, the exhibit also includes the naval destroyer USS Edson, and the submarine USS Growler, the only intact strategic missile submarine open to the public anywhere in the world, as well as a collection of vintage and modern aircraft, including the A-12 Blackbird, the world's fastest spy plane, and the newest addition to the museum, a retired British Airways Concorde jet.Kids just love this place. They, and you, can climb inside a replica Revolutionary War submarine, sit in an A-6 Intruder cockpit, and follow the progress of America's astronauts as they work in space. There are even navy flight simulators -- including a "Fly with the Blue Angels" program -- for educational thrill rides in the Technologies Hall. Look for family-oriented activities and events at least 1 Saturday a month.The program "All Hands on Deck" teaches both children and adults how things work on ships, plus there's a new AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter. The action-packed Intrepid Wings shows aircraft carrier take-offs and recoveries in the new Allison and Howard Lutnick Theater; the film runs continuously throughout the day. The exhibit Remembering 9-11 recalls those lost, both civilians and rescuers. The grand visitor center makes for an impressive entrance, and the massive museum store is well stocked; goods include NYPD and FDNY logo gear. Dress warmly for a winter visit -- it's almost impossible to heat an aircraft carrier.
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.
Hotel Belleclaire
This beaux arts hotel that underwent a face-lift in 2004 boasts a great Upper West Side location and renovated, stylish guest rooms that are larger than most. The accommodations, though simple, do the job, and the management seems intent on pleasing. The rooms have small, freshly tiled bathrooms with tub/shower combos (six have roll-in showers to accommodate travelers with disabilities). Cushioned headboards, nice fabric-covered cubes for modular seating, small TVs, minifridges, and alarm clocks are the main amenities. Closets are small. The shared-bathroom units are the same but have in-room sinks and share hall bathrooms at a ratio of 3 to 1. The family suite features two attached, semiprivate bedrooms with a bathroom, a minifridge, and a big walk-in closet. A perfectly decent choice in a first-class residential neighborhood.
The Michelangelo
Owned by the Italian-based Starhotel, this is the group's only U.S. property and it offers a very welcome dose of Italian hospitality in the heart of New York. From the moment you enter the spacious lobby adorned with Italian marble, you feel as if you have suddenly departed from the rapid-fire sight and sound assault of nearby Times Square. Off the lobby is a nice lounge where coffee and cappuccino are served all day and a complimentary Italian breakfast of pastries and fruit is offered each morning. The rooms come in various sizes and are curiously decorated in three different styles: Art Deco, country French, and neo-classical. I prefer the country French, but whatever the style, the rooms are all of a good size and include marble foyers, Italian fabrics, king beds, and two television sets (one in the bathroom). The bathrooms are well maintained and feature deep whirlpool bathtubs. Limoncello, the hotel's Mediterranean restaurant, offers lunch, dinner, and an innovative breakfast (try the polenta pancakes). Service is helpful and friendly, creating a relaxed, casual atmosphere rare in many New York hotels.
