During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Chrysler Building
Built as Chrysler Corporation headquarters in 1930 (they moved out decades ago), this is perhaps the 20th century's most romantic architectural achievement, especially at night, when the lights in its triangular openings play off its steely crown. As you admire its facade, be sure to note the gargoyles reaching out from the upper floors, looking for all the world like streamline-Gothic hood ornaments.There's a fascinating tale behind this building. While it was under construction, its architect, William Van Alen, hid his final plans for the spire that now tops it. Working at a furious pace in the last days of construction, the workers assembled in secrecy the elegant pointy top -- and then they raised it right through what people had assumed was going to be the roof, and for a brief moment it was the world's tallest building (a distinction stolen by the Empire State Building only a few months later). Its exterior chrome sculptures are magnificent and spooky. The observation deck closed long ago, but you can visit its lavish ground-floor interior, which is Art Deco to the max. The ceiling mural depicting airplanes and other early marvels of the first decades of the 20th century evince the bright promise of technology. The elevators are works of art, masterfully covered in exotic woods (especially note the lotus-shaped marquetry on the doors).
International Center of Photography
The ICP is one of the world's premier educators, collectors, and exhibitors of photographic art. The state-of-the-art gallery space is ideal for viewing rotating exhibitions of the museum's 50,000-plus prints as well as visiting shows. The emphasis is on contemporary photographic works, but historically important photographers aren't ignored. A must on any photography buff's list.
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.
Hotel Metro
The Metro is the choice in Midtown for those who don't want to sacrifice either style or comfort for affordability. This lovely Art Deco-style jewel has larger rooms than you'd expect for the price. They're outfitted with smart retro furnishings, playful fabrics, fluffy pillows, and smallish but beautifully appointed marble bathrooms, and alarm clocks. Only about half the bathrooms have tubs, but the others have shower stalls big enough for two (junior suites have whirlpool tubs). The family room is an ingenious invention: a two-room suite that has a second bedroom in lieu of a sitting area; families on tighter budgets can opt for a roomy double/double.The neo-deco design gives the whole place an air of New York glamour that I've not otherwise seen in this price range. A great collection of black-and-white photos, from Man Ray classics to Garbo and Dietrich portraits, adds to the vibe. The comfy, fire-lit library/lounge area off the lobby, where complimentary buffet breakfast is laid out and the coffeepot's on all day, is a popular hangout. Service is attentive, and the well-furnished rooftop terrace boasts a breathtaking view of the Empire State Building, and makes a great place to order up room service from the stylish -- and very good -- Metro Grill.
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 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.
