During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Union Square Park
Here's a delightful place to spend an afternoon. Reclaimed from drug dealers and abject ruin in the late '80s, Union Square Park is now one of the city's best assets and home of the New York's most famous Greenmarket. The seemingly endless subway work should no longer be disturbing the peace by the time you're here. This patch of green remains, with or without the construction, the focal point of the newly fashionable Flatiron and Gramercy Park neighborhoods. Don't miss the grand equestrian statue of George Washington at the south end or the bronze statue (by Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty) of the marquis de Lafayette at the eastern end, gracefully glancing toward France. A cafe is open at the north end of the park in warm weather.The Greening of New York--Whenever I travel to a city anywhere around the world, I make it a priority to visit that city's greenmarket, or farmer's market. I've been to some great ones, and I might be a tad bit prejudiced, but I haven't been to many better than the Union Square Greenmarket here in New York City. New York has greenmarkets throughout the city on different days of the week, but the biggest and the best is at Union Square every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. You'll find pickings from upstate and New Jersey farms, fresh fish from Long Island, homemade cheese and other dairy products, baked goods, plants, and organic herbs and spices. It's a true New York scene with everyone from models to celebrated chefs poring through the bounty. The Union Square Greenmarket is open year-round, but is at its peak August through October when the local harvest -- tomatoes, corn, greens, grapes, peppers, and apples -- flourishes. If you are lucky enough to be in the city during this period, don't miss the bonanza and do pick up some apples or grapes for your travels around the city -- but even if you're not, check it out no matter what the season. For more information and locations and schedules, refer to the Council on the environment of New York City website at www.cenyc.org or call tel. 212/477-3220.

South Street Seaport & Museum
Dating back to the 17th century, this landmark historic district on the East River encompasses 11 square blocks of historic buildings, a maritime museum, several piers, shops, and restaurants.You can explore most of the Seaport on your own. It's a beautiful but somewhat odd place. The mainly 18th- and 19th-century buildings lining the cobbled streets and alleyways are impeccably restored but nevertheless have a theme-park air about them, no doubt due to the mall-familiar shops housed within. The Seaport's biggest tourist attraction is Pier 17, a historic barge converted into a mall, complete with food court and cheap jewelry kiosks.Despite its rampant commercialism, the Seaport is well worth a look. There's a good amount of history to be discovered here, most of it around the South Street Seaport Museum, a fitting tribute to the sea commerce that once thrived here.In addition to the galleries -- which house paintings and prints, ship models, scrimshaw, and nautical designs, as well as frequently changing exhibitions -- there are a number of historic ships berthed at the pier to explore, including the 1911 four-masted Peking and the 1893 Gloucester fishing schooner Lettie G. Howard. A few of the boats are living museums and restoration works in progress; the 1885 cargo schooner Pioneer (tel. 212/748-8786) offers 2-hour public sails daily from early May through September. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for children 12 and under. If you'd rather keep those sea legs on dry land, the museum offers a number of guided walking tours; call or check www.southstseaport.org for details.Even Pier 17 has its merits. Head up to the third-level deck overlooking the East River, where the long wooden chairs will have you thinking about what it was like to cross the Atlantic on the Normandie. From this level you can see south to the Statue of Liberty, north to the Gothic majesty of the Brooklyn Bridge, and Brooklyn Heights on the opposite shore.At the gateway to the Seaport, at Fulton and Water streets, is the Titanic Memorial Lighthouse, a monument to those who lost their lives when the ocean liner sank on April 15, 1912. It was erected overlooking the East River in 1913 and moved to this spot in 1968, just after the historic district was so designated.A variety of events take place year-round, ranging from street performers to concerts to fireworks; check the website or dial tel. 212/SEA-PORT.

Bronx Zoo Wildlife Conservation Park
Founded in 1899, the Bronx Zoo is the largest metropolitan animal park in the United States, with more than 4,000 animals living on 265 acres, and one of the city's best attractions.One of the most impressive exhibits is the Wild Asia Complex. This zoo-within-a-zoo comprises the Wild Asia Plaza education center; Jungle World, an indoor re-creation of Asian forests, with birds, lizards, gibbons, and leopards; and the Bengali Express Monorail (open May-Oct), which takes you on a narrated ride high above free-roaming Siberian tigers, Asian elephants, Indian rhinoceroses, and other nonnative New Yorkers (keep your eyes peeled -- the animals aren't as interested in seeing you). The Himalayan Highlands is home to some 17 extremely rare snow leopards, as well as red pandas and white-naped cranes. The 6 1/2-acre Congo Gorilla Forest is home to Western lowland gorillas, okapi, red river hogs, and other African rainforest animals.The Children's Zoo (open Apr-Oct) allows young humans to learn about their wildlife counterparts. Kids can compare their leaps to those of a bullfrog, slide into a turtle shell, climb into a heron's nest, see with the eyes of an owl, and hear with the acute ears of a fox. There's also a petting zoo. Camel rides are another part of the summertime picture, as is the Butterfly Zone and the Skyfari aerial tram (each an extra $2 charge).If the natural settings and breeding programs aren't enough to keep zoo residents entertained, they can always choose to ogle the 2 million annual visitors. But there are ways to beat the crowds. Try to visit on a weekday or on a nice winter's day. In summer, come early in the day, before the heat of the day sends the animals back into their enclosures. Expect to spend an entire day here -- you'll need it.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Newark area, including:

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.

The Sherry-Netherland
Housed in a wonderful 1927 neo-Romanesque building overlooking Fifth Avenue and Central Park, the Sherry-Netherland is one of a kind: It's both a first-class hotel and a quietly elegant residential building where the guest rooms are privately owned co-ops. As a result, the rooms vary greatly in style, but each is grandly proportioned with high ceilings, big bathrooms, and walk-in closets. The rooms are very spacious and every one features high-quality furnishings and art. About half are suites with kitchenettes that have a cooktop or microwave, often both.You'll pay more for a lighter, park- or street-facing room; the views are stunning, but the lower floors can be noisy for light sleepers. Interior-facing rooms are darker and quieter but no less fabulous, and a lot cheaper; one of my favorites is no. 814, an Art Deco-contemporary one-bedroom with a gorgeous marble bathroom, a terrific kitchen with bar, and a wealth of luxurious space. If you'd prefer a more traditionally styled room, let the excellent staff know. The hotel is old-world formal but not the least bit stuffy.Packed with Armani-suited moguls, million-dollar models, and East Side denizens, Harry Cipriani's restaurant, located on the lobby level, is the ultimate power spot; the wildly expensive food is excellent (especially the pappardelle with in-season mushrooms), as is the tuxedoed service.

The Lucerne
This magnificent 1903 landmark building has had many incarnations over the years, including one as a dormitory for Columbia University students. But most recently it has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, and that transformation has been a triumph on many levels. As a longtime resident of the Upper West Side, I can easily say the Lucerne best captures the feel of that very special neighborhood. Service here is impeccable, especially for a moderately priced hotel; the attentive GM is on top of every detail and everything is fresh and immaculate. The rooms are all comfortable and big enough for kings, queens, or two doubles, with attractive bathrooms complete with travertine counters. Some of the rooms have views not only of the Hudson River, but of one of my favorite pubs, the Dublin House. The suites are extra special here and include a kitchenette, a stocked minifridge, a microwave, and a sitting room with a sofa and extra television. In 2004, the highly rated Nice Matin opened in the hotel, offering room service or breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you don't want to dine there, you can sample some of the neighborhood food at nearby Zabar's or H&H Bagels.
