During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Brooklyn Museum of Art
One of the nation's premier art institutions, the Brooklyn Museum of Art rocketed back into public consciousness in 1999 with the hugely controversial Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection, which drew international media attention and record crowds who came to see just what an artist -- and a few conservative politicians -- could make out of a little elephant dung.Indeed, the museum is best known for its consistently remarkable temporary exhibitions as well as its excellent permanent collection. The museum's grand beaux arts building, designed by McKim, Mead & White (1897), befits its outstanding holdings, most notably the Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient Middle Eastern collection of sculpture, wall reliefs, and mummies. The distinguished decorative arts collection includes 28 American period rooms from 1675 to 1928 (the extravagant Moorish-style smoking room from John D. Rockefeller's 54th St. mansion is my favorite). Other highlights are the African and Asian arts galleries, dozens of works by Rodin, a good costumes and textiles collection, and a diverse collection of both American and European painting and sculpture that includes works by Homer, O'Keeffe, Monet, Cézanne, and Degas. Look for more terrific exhibits on the 2004-05 calendar.
Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria
This Midtown branch of the Whitney Museum of American Art features an airy sculpture court and a petite gallery that hosts changing exhibits, usually the works of living contemporary artists. Well worth peeking into if you happen to be in the neighborhood. Free gallery talks are offered Wednesdays and Fridays at 1pm.
Wall Street & the New York Stock Exchange
Wall Street - it's an iconic name, and the world's prime hub for bulls and bears everywhere. This narrow 18th-century lane (you'll be surprised at how little it is) is appropriately monumental, lined with neoclassical towers that reach as far skyward as the dreams and greed of investors who built it into the world's most famous financial market.At the heart of the action is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the world's largest securities trader, where billions change hands. The NYSE came into being in 1792, when merchants met daily under a nearby buttonwood tree to try and pass off to each other the U.S. bonds that had been sold to fund the Revolutionary War. By 1903, they were trading stocks of publicly held companies in this Corinthian-columned beaux arts "temple" designed by George Post. About 3,000 companies are now listed on the exchange, trading nearly 314 billion shares valued at about $16 trillion. Unfortunately, the NYSE is no longer open to the public for tours.
The Inn on 23rd
Friendly innkeepers Annette and Barry Fisherman have launched one of Manhattan's few -- and one of its finest -- full-service B&Bs. The Inn on 23rd is a marvelous find for those who love individualized accommodations and a personal touch.All guest rooms are spacious. Each has a king or queen bed outfitted with a supremely comfy pillow-top mattress and top-quality linens, a satellite TV, a new private bathroom with thick Turkish towels, and a roomy closet. Rooms have themes based on how they are designed; there's the coolly sophisticated Rosewood Room, with '60s built-ins; the Bamboo Room, peacefully quiet and elegantly Asian; and Ken's Cabin, a large, lodgelike room with cushy, well-worn leather furnishings and wonderful Americana relics. The suite has a skylight with ultra-romantic Empire State Building views.An elevator means you don't have to cart your luggage up multiple flights of stairs, and a number of rooms have pullout sofas or Murphy beds to accommodate more than two travelers. The New School now holds culinary classes daily in Annette's kitchen, so even if you don't want to join in you may still benefit from the gourmet leftovers. The central Chelsea location makes it a convenient starting point to any Manhattan destination.
Travel Inn
Extras such as a huge outdoor pool and sun deck, a sunny and up-to-date fitness room, and absolutely free parking (with in and out privileges!) make the Travel Inn another terrific deal, similar to the one offered by the Skyline Hotel . Like the Skyline, the Travel Inn may not be loaded with personality, but it does offer the clean, bright regularity of a good chain hotel -- an attractive trait in a city where "quirky" is the catchword at most affordable hotels. Rooms are oversize and comfortably furnished, with extra-firm beds and work desks; even the smallest double is sizable and has a roomy bathroom, and double/doubles make great affordable shares for families. A total renovation over the last couple of years has made everything feel like new, even the nicely tiled bathrooms. The neighborhood has gentrified nicely and isn't as far-flung as you might think: Off-Broadway theaters and great affordable restaurants are at hand, and it's just a 10-minute walk to the Theater District.
The Peninsula-New York
Housed in a 1905 landmark building, the Peninsula is now a state-of-the-art stunner. Inside, all that's left of the beaux arts past is the marvelous wedding-cake ceiling in the lobby. Work your way past the redecorated public floors and everything's brand-new; the guest room floors were totally gutted and laid out afresh, allowing for high-speed wiring, better room configurations, and what may be the most fabulous bathrooms in the city.The decor is a rich mix of Art Nouveau, vibrant Asian elements, and contemporary art. Every room boasts lots of storage and counter space, plus fabulous linens. But the real news is the technology, which includes a room-wide speaker system and mood lighting; an executive workstation with desk-level inputs, fax, and dual-line speakerphones; a bedside panel for everything, from climate controls to the DO NOT DISTURB sign; and even a door-side weather display. Best of all are the huge marble bathrooms where a tub-level panel allows you to control the speaker system, answer the phone, and, if you're in any room above the lowest (superior) level, control the bathroom TV (now that is happy excess). A faultless concierge desk, tri-level rooftop health club and spa, and the spectacular Pen Top Bar, round out the fabulousness.Facilities: Restaurant; rooftop bar; library-style lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails; tri-level rooftop health club and spa with heated pool, exercise classes, whirlpool, sauna, and sun deck; 24-hr. concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; dry cleaning/laundry service. In room: A/C, TV w/pay movies, fax, wireless Internet, and T1 connectivity, minibar, hair dryer, laptop-size safe, complimentary "water bar" with 5 choices of bottled water.
