During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Temple Emanu-El
Many of New York's most prominent and wealthy families are members of this Reform congregation -- the first to be established in New York City -- housed in the city's most famous synagogue. The largest house of Jewish worship in the world is a majestic blend of Moorish and Romanesque styles, symbolizing the mingling of Eastern and Western cultures. The temple houses a small but remarkable collection of Judaica in the Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum, including a collection of Hanukkah lamps with examples ranging from the 14th to the 20th centuries. Three galleries also tell the story of the congregation Emanu-El from 1845 to the present. Tours are given after morning services Saturdays at noon. Inquire for a schedule of lectures, films, music, symposiums, and other events.
New York Hall of Science
Children of all ages will love this huge hands-on museum, which bills itself as "New York's Only Science Playground." This place is amazing for school-age kids -- it's just like Beakman's World come to life. Exhibits let them be engulfed by a giant soap bubble (shades of Veruca Salt, Mom and Dad?), float on air in an antigravity mirror, compose music by dancing in front of light beams, and explore the more-than-miniature world of microbes. There are even video machines that kids can use to retrieve astronomical images, including pictures taken by the Galileo in orbit around Jupiter. There's a Preschool Discovery Place for the really little ones. But probably best of all is the summertime Outdoor Science Playground for kids 6 and older -- ostensibly lessons in physics, but really just a great excuse to laugh, jump, and play on jungle gyms, slides, seesaws, spinners, and more.The museum is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, where kids can enjoy even more fun beyond the Hall of Science. Not only are there more than 1,200 acres of park and playgrounds, but there's also a zoo, a carousel, an indoor ice-skating rink, an outdoor pool, and bike and boat rentals. Kids and grown-ups alike will love getting an up-close look at the Unisphere steel globe, which was not really destroyed in Men in Black. The park is also home to the Queens Museum of Art as well as Shea Stadium and the U.S. Open Tennis Center.
Louis Armstrong House Museum
What is it about celebrities' homes that we find so fascinating? Is it that we get to see how they lived away from the glare of the cameras; how they functioned on a daily basis just like the rest of us? Armstrong was an international celebrity and could have lived anywhere, yet this unassuming, bi-level house in the working-class neighborhood of Corona, Queens, was the great Satchmo's home from 1943 until his death in 1971. It was bought and designed by his fourth wife, Lucille, who lived in it until her death in 1983. No one has lived in the house since and in 2003, the house, a National Historic Landmark and a New York City landmark, opened its doors to the public as a museum. The 40-minute tour takes you through the small, impeccably preserved home and explains the significance of each room to both Louis and Lucille. My favorite is Armstrong's den, where he kept his reel-to-reel tape recordings, cataloging everything he taped -- music, conversations, and compositions, some of which are displayed on his desk. The house also includes a small exhibit with some of his memorabilia, including two of his trumpets, and a guest shop, where many of his CDs are for sale along with other Satchmo-centric items. If you have any interest in jazz and in Armstrong, this is a must see.
The Regency
Mirroring the elegance of Park Avenue and with its enviable location close to Central Park, Bloomingdale's, and the white-gloved shops of Madison Avenue, the Regency has long been a haven for celebrities and those who aspire to celebrity status. On one of my visits to the hotel, I saw New York Yankee outfielder Hideki Matsui amble through the glittering, marble-laden lobby. But even if you aren't on the cover of a magazine, a stay at the Regency might make you feel like a star. The guest rooms are all huge, featuring a king bed or two doubles, a large marble writing desk with an ergonomic chair, and a small eating table. The bathrooms, though not enormous, are equipped with terrycloth robes and a small television. Suites are typically grandiose, ranging from the 450-square-foot Executive, with two bathrooms and French doors, to the Grand Suite, with two bedrooms and two marble bathrooms. Despite its elegance, the Regency is a surprisingly good choice for kids; children under 18 stay free when sharing a room with their parents; rollaway beds are an additional $25 for the stay. Even pets get the special treatment, with the hotel providing services such as place mats with food and water bowls and a room service menu for pets. Complimentary homemade hot chocolate is served in the lobby in the winter months, replaced by lemonade in the summer. The hotel's restaurant, 540 Park Avenue, is one of the great power breakfast spots in the city, while Feinstein's at The Regency, is considered the standard when it comes to cabaret .
St. Regis
When John Jacob Astor built the St. Regis in 1904, he set out to create a hotel that would reflect the elegance and luxury he was used to in hotels in Europe. Over a hundred years later, the St. Regis, now a New York landmark, still reflects that European splendor. Located on Fifth Avenue, and close to Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Saks, this beaux arts classic is a marvel; antique furniture, crystal chandeliers, silk wall coverings, and marble floors adorn both the public spaces and the high-ceilinged, airy guest rooms. The suites are particularly ornate, some with French doors, four-poster beds, and decorative fireplaces. The marble bathrooms are spacious and feature separate showers and baths. In a nod to the future, plasma televisions were recently added in all the rooms, along with LCD screens in the bathrooms. Service is efficiently white-gloved and every guest is assigned a personal, tuxedoed butler, on call 24 hours to answer any reasonable requests. The hotel has a large fitness center and a spa that is the first in New York to offer the skin care line from the renowned Carita Spa of Paris. Afternoon tea is served daily in the Astor Court. Even if the St. Regis is beyond your budget, take a walk through the sumptuous lobby and have a drink in the hotel bar, the world-renowned King Cole Bar, birthplace of the Bloody Mary, and home to the famous Old King Cole mural by Maxfield Parrish.
The Mercer
The Mercer, with its heart-of-SoHo location and a celeb-heavy cast of regulars, is the unrivaled epicenter of downtown chic, four sunglasses on the hip scale. The lobby feels like a postmodern library lounge, with design books lining the shelves and a mod staff scurrying about in Isaac Mizrahi finery.The high-ceilinged guest rooms, with strong, angular custom furnishings in beautiful African wenge and ipe woods, are more than welcoming. The linens are gorgeous textured cottons; there's comfortable seating; and a large work table easily doubles as a dining table. The austerely beautiful tile-and-marble bathrooms have a steel cart for storage, and an oversize shower stall or oversize two-person tub (state your preference when booking). Nice extras include VCRs and CD players, on-screen Web access, and minibars stocked with goodies from Dean & DeLuca.The Kitchen is the French/Asian fusion domain of superstar chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten (of Jean-Georges,); the lobby offers more casual dining, drinking, and scene-making space.
