During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Mother A.M.E. Zion Church
Another of Harlem's great gospel churches is this African Methodist Episcopal house of worship, the first black church to be founded in New York State. Established on John Street in Lower Manhattan in 1796, Mother A.M.E. was known as the "Freedom Church" for the central role it played in the Underground Railroad. Among the escaped slaves the church hid was Frederick Douglass; other famous congregants have included Sojourner Truth and Paul Robeson. Mother A.M.E. relocated to Harlem in 1914, and moved into this grand edifice in 1925. Rousing Sunday services are at 11am.
Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
Part of the Smithsonian Institution, the Cooper-Hewitt is housed in the Carnegie Mansion, built by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie in 1901 and renovated to the tune of $20 million in 1996. Some 11,000 square feet of gallery space is devoted to changing exhibits that are invariably well conceived, engaging, and educational. Shows are both historic and contemporary in nature, and topics range from The Work of Charles and Ray Eames: A Legacy of Invention to Russell Wright: Creating American Lifestyle to The Architecture of Reassurance: Designing the Disney Theme Parks. Many installations are drawn from the museum's own vast collection of industrial design, drawings, textiles, wall coverings, books, and prints.On your way in, note the fabulous Art Nouveau-style copper-and-glass canopy above the entrance. And be sure to visit the garden, ringed with Central Park benches from various eras.
Ellis Island
One of New York's most moving sights, the restored Ellis Island opened in 1990, slightly north of Liberty Island. Roughly 40% of Americans (myself included) can trace their heritage back to an ancestor who came through here. For the 62 years when it was America's main entry point for immigrants (1892-1954), Ellis Island processed some 12 million people. The greeting was often brusque -- especially in the early years of the century, until 1924, when as many as 12,000 came through in a single day. The statistics can be overwhelming, but the Immigration Museum skillfully relates the story of Ellis Island and immigration in America by placing the emphasis on personal experience.It's difficult to leave the museum unmoved. Today you enter the Main Building's baggage room, just as the immigrants did, and then climb the stairs to the Registry Room, with its dramatic vaulted tiled ceiling, where millions waited anxiously for medical and legal processing. A step-by-step account of the immigrants' voyage is detailed in the exhibit, with haunting photos and touching oral histories. What might be the most poignant exhibit is Treasures from Home, 1,000 objects and photos donated by descendants of immigrants, including family heirlooms, religious articles, and rare clothing and jewelry. Outside, the American Immigrant Wall of Honor commemorates the names of more than 500,000 immigrants and their families, from Myles Standish and George Washington's great-grandfather to the forefathers of John F. Kennedy, Jay Leno, and Barbra Streisand. You can even research your own family's history at the interactive American Family Immigration History Center. You might also make time to see the award-winning short film Island of Hope, Island of Tears, which plays on a continuous loop in two theaters. Short live theatrical performances depicting the immigrant experience are also often part of the day's events.Touring tips: Ferries run daily to Ellis Island and Liberty Island from Battery Park and Liberty State Park at frequent intervals; see the Statue of Liberty listing for details.
Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park
There's a lot to like about this hotel -- from its enviable location overlooking Central Park to the impeccable and personable service -- but what I like best is that this undoubtedly luxury hotel manages to maintain a homey elegance, and does not intimidate you with an overabundance of style.Rooms are spacious and decorated in traditional, English countryside-style. Suites are larger than most New York City apartments. Rooms facing Central Park come with telescopes, and all have flat-screen TVs with DVD; the hotel even has a library of Academy Award-winning films available. The marble bathrooms are also oversize and feature a choice of bathrobes, terry or linen, and extravagant Frederic Fekkai bath amenities.For families who can afford the very steep prices, the hotel is extremely kid-friendly. Suites have sofa beds, and cribs and rollaway beds can be brought in. Children are given in-room cookies and milk. You can even bring your dog (under 60 lb.); if it rains, the pooch gets to wear a Burberry trench coat. Now that's homey elegance. While the kids and dogs are entertained, the older folks can be pampered with facials or massages at the Switzerland-based La Prairie Spa, or dine at the spectacular Atelier .Facilities: Restaurant; bar; lobby lounge for tea and cocktails; fitness center and La Prairie spa and facial center; concierge; complimentary Bentley limousine service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; overnight laundry/dry-cleaning; technology butler and bath butler services.
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.
Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park
Perfect on almost every level, the only drawback to this Ritz-Carlton is its remote downtown location. But that location, on the extreme southern tip of Manhattan, is also one of its strengths. Where else can you get, in most rooms anyway, magnificent views of New York Harbor from your bedroom -- complete with telescope for close-ups of Lady Liberty? Where else can you have a cocktail in your hotel bar and watch the sun set over the harbor? And where else can you go for a morning jog around the Manhattan waterfront? This modern, Art Deco-influenced high-rise, which opened in 2002, differs from the English countryside look of most Ritz-Carlton properties, including its sister hotel on Central Park , but that's where the differences end. You'll find the full slate of comforts and services typical of Ritz-Carlton here, from Frette-dressed feather beds to the chain's signature Bath Butler, who will draw a scented bath for you in your own deep soaking tub. Standard rooms are all very large and have huge bathrooms, while suites are bigger than most New York apartments. If you don't mind the location and the commute to Midtown and beyond, you won't find a more luxurious choice than this.Facilities: Fine-dining restaurant; lobby lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails, with outdoor seating; 14th floor cocktail bar with light dining and outdoor seating; state-of-the-art health club with views; spa treatments; 24-hr. concierge; well-equipped business center with 24-hr. secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; dry cleaning/laundry service; shuttle service within Lower Manhattan; technology butler and bath butler services; Ritz-Carlton club level with 5 food presentations daily. In room: A/C, TV w/pay movies and video games, dataport and high-speed connectivity, minibar/fridge, hair dryer, safe, CD player, DVD with surround sound in suites and club rooms.
