During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
New York Waterway
New York Waterway, the nation's largest privately held ferry service and cruise operator, like Circle Line, also does the 35-mile trip around Manhattan, but does it in 2 hours, taking in all the same sights. They also offer a staggering amount of different sightseeing options, including a very good 90-minute New York Harbor Cruise, a Romantic Twilight Cruise, a Friday Dance Party Cruise, and Baseball Cruises to Mets and Yankee games.
Grand Central Terminal
Even if you're not catching one of the subway lines or Metro-North commuter trains that rumble through Grand Central Terminal, come for a visit; it's one of the most magnificent public places in the country. And even if you arrive and leave by subway, be sure to exit the station, walking a couple of blocks south, to about 40th Street, before you turn around to admire Jules-Alexis Coutan's neoclassical sculpture Transportation hovering over the south entrance, with a majestically buff Mercury, the Roman god of commerce and travel, as its central figure.The greatest visual impact comes when you enter the vast majestic main concourse. The high windows allow sunlight to penetrate the space, glinting off the half-acre Tennessee marble floor. The brass clock over the central kiosk gleams, as do the gold- and nickel-plated chandeliers piercing the side archways. The masterful sky ceiling, a brilliant greenish blue, depicts the constellations of the winter sky above New York. They're lit with 59 stars, surrounded by dazzling 24-carat gold and emitting light fed through fiber-optic cables, their intensities roughly replicating the magnitude of the actual stars as seen from Earth. Look carefully and you'll see a patch near one corner left unrestored as a reminder of the neglect once visited on this splendid overhead masterpiece. On the east end of the main concourse is a grand marble staircase.This dramatic beaux arts splendor serves as a hub of social activity as well. Excellent-quality retail shops and restaurants have taken over the mezzanine and lower levels. The highlights of the west mezzanine are Michael Jordan's-The Steak House, a gorgeous Art Deco space that allows you to dine within view of the sky ceiling as well as the gorgeously restored The Campbell Apartment , which serves cocktails. Off the main concourse at street level, there's a nice mix of specialty shops and national retailers, as well as the truly grand Grand Central Market for gourmet foods. The New York Transit Museum Store , in the shuttle passage, houses city transit-related exhibitions and a terrific gift shop that's worth a look for transit buffs. The lower dining concoursehouses a stellar food court and the famous Oyster Bar & Restaurant.The Municipal Art Society (tel. 212/935-3960; www.mas.org) offers a free walking tour of Grand Central Terminal on Wednesday at 12:30pm, which meets at the information booth on the Grand Concourse. The Grand Central Partnership (tel. 212/697-1245) runs its own free tour every Friday at 12:30pm, which meets outside the station in front of the Whitney Museum at the Altria gallery, at 42nd Street and Park Avenue. Call to confirm before you set out to meet either tour.
American Folk Art Museum
This gorgeous, ultra-modern boutique museum has been called by House & Garden no less than the city's greatest new (opened in 2001) museum and best work of architecture since Frank Lloyd Wright built the Guggenheim in 1959, while New York magazine called it "brilliant" and "a tour de force." Not only is it a stunning structure, but it also heralds American folk art's entry into the top echelon of museum-worthy art.The modified open-plan interior features an extraordinary collection of traditional works from the 18th century to the self-taught artists and craftspeople of the present, reflecting the breadth and vitality of the American folk-art tradition. A splendid variety of quilts, in particular, makes the textiles collection the museum's most popular. The book- and gift shop is outstanding, filled with one-of-a-kind objects.
The Carlyle
Countless movie stars and international heads of state (including JFK, who was supposedly once visited by Marilyn here) have lain their heads on the fluffy pillows in this justifiably legendary hotel. Why guests choose the Carlyle is clear -- it's the hallmark attention to detail. With a staff-to-guest ratio of about two-to-one, the stately service is simply the best. The English manor-style decor is luxurious but not excessive, creating the comfortably elegant ambience of an Upper East Side apartment. Guest rooms range from singles to seven-room suites, some with terraces and full dining rooms. All have marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and all the amenities you'd expect from a hotel of this caliber.The lobby was renovated recently; the marble floors and columns, the original clock, and the Piranesi prints and murals were all restored, with new features such as Baccarat light fixtures, a new reception desk, and an expanded concierge space added. In 2003, famed French chef Jean-Louis Dumonet opened dumonet at The Carlyle, while Bobby Short continues to hold court at the supper club Café Carlyle . Charming Bemelmans Bar, named after children's book illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans, who created the Madeline books and painted the mural here, is a wonderful spot for cocktails; there's live soft jazz Monday through Saturday evenings.
The Alex
One of the few new hotels to debut in 2003, The Alex not only continues the trend of high style, it takes it to a new level. The hotel's theme is serenity and comfort, and that's a tough task when you are located in the middle of one of the busiest sections of Manhattan. Renowned designer David Rockwell, using his trademark economically sleek, moderne style, has created a soothing and very glossy retreat. Each room features furniture designed exclusively for the hotel, such as the four mobile pieces -- a chair, a low game table, a coffee table that rises to dining table height, and a nightstand. And all rooms, which range from large junior suites to one- and two-bedroom apartments, also feature state-of-the-art full kitchens with sub-zero refrigerators that are so cleverly designed it took this high-style innocent way too long to distinguish it from the other kitchen amenities. But who needs a refrigerator when you can order room service from the hotel's fabulous restaurant, Riingo ?You'll also find flat-panel televisions in each room and in the bathrooms, which feature rain-forest showers and Frederic Fekkai products. Efficiency is the key word here, and service goes out of its way to make sure they meet the specific needs of each of the hotel's guests. My only real complaint is that in their search for efficiency, the workspace, hidden inside a closet, is much too small. But why come here to work when there are all those toys and gadgets to play with?
Red Roof Inn
Manhattan's first, and only, Red Roof Inn offers welcome relief from Midtown's high-priced hotel scene. The hotel occupies a former office building that was gutted and laid out fresh, allowing for more spacious rooms and bathrooms than you'll usually find in this price category. The high-ceilinged lobby feels smarter than most in this price range, and elevators are quiet and efficient. What's more, in-room amenities are better than most competitors,' and furnishings are fresh, brand-new, and comfortable. The location -- on a bright, bustling block lined with nice hotels and affordable Korean restaurants, just a stone's throw from the Empire State Building and Herald Square -- is excellent. It's usually easy to snag a room for less than $150 if you book well in advance; be sure to compare the rates offered by Apple Core Hotel's reservation line (the management company) and those quoted on Red Roof's national reservation line and website, as they can vary significantly. A complimentary continental breakfast adds to the good value.
