During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
New Museum of Contemporary Art
This contemporary arts museum has moved closer to the mainstream in recent years, but it's only a safety margin in from the edge as far as most of us are concerned. Expect adventurous and well-curated exhibitions. The 2005 exhibition calendar had not been announced at press time, but previous schedules have included Portrait of the Lost Boys, New Zealander Jacqueline Fraser's moving narrative made of sumptuous fabric and fragile wire sculptures that examines the high incidence of suicide among teenage boys in New Zealand, and John Waters: Change of Life, photographs by the filmmaker who brought us Pink Flamingos and Hairspray. The Zenith Media Lounge, a digital and media arts technology space housing rotating installations, is free to the public. In 2006, the museum will move to a new 60,000-square-foot, $35-million home on the Bowery at Prince Street.
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.
Children's Museum of Manhattan
Here's a great place to take the kids when they're tired of being told not to touch. Designed for ages 2 to 12, this museum is strictly hands-on. Interactive exhibits and activity centers encourage self-discovery -- and a recent expansion means that there's now even more to keep the kids busy and learning. The Time Warner Media Center takes children through the world of animation and helps them produce their own videos. The Body Odyssey is a zany, scientific journey through the human body. This isn't just a museum for the 5-and-up set -- there are exhibits especially designed for babies and toddlers, too. The busy schedule also includes daily art classes and storytellers, and a full slate of entertainment on weekends.
The Lombardy
If the Sherry-Netherland sounds divine but you just can't afford it, book into the lovely Lombardy instead. This mostly suite hotel was built in the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies, and it still feels like a grand New York apartment house. In fact, just like at the Sherry, the apartments are individually owned, individually decorated co-ops, which gives you the best of both worlds: genuine luxury apartment living, plus a full spectrum of hotel services.While studios are available, the one-bedroom suites are far superior in both size and decor. Decor runs the gamut from classic to contemporary. The one-bedrooms average 850 square feet, and almost all have been gorgeously renovated in recent years. Studios often fall short in the style department; still, they offer a lot of space and comfort for your dollar, since they're roughly twice the size of your average hotel room, and owners are required to keep them up to snuff. All apartments have fully outfitted galley kitchens; all have fridges and microwaves, most have coffeemakers, and many have stovetops and/or dishwashers. Bathrooms are usually marble and always very nice, but not large (a vestige of the building's age); closets, on the other hand, are mammoth.The hotel is beautifully run by a longtime general manager and fabulously attentive white-gloved staff who are fiercely committed to this jewel of a hotel.
Wall Street Inn
With the demise of the Regent Wall Street, this intimate hotel is now the preferred choice for those working on the Street. But it's also a good choice for visitors who don't want to work. This intimate, seven-story hotel is ideal for those who want a Lower Manhattan location without corporate blandness. The lovely early American interiors boast a pleasing freshness. The hotel is warm, comforting, and serene, and the friendly, professional staff offers the kind of personalized service you won't get from a chain. Rooms aren't huge, but the bedding is top-quality and all the conveniences are at hand. Rooms ending in "01" are smallest; seventh-floor rooms are best, as the bathrooms have extra counter space and whirlpool tubs.Vacationers who don't mind the weekend quiet of Wall Street will find amazing deals once the execs go home: Rates can drop as low as $159 on weekend nights, and the staff will assign you the best available room when you check in.
Union Square Inn
Situated a stone's throw east of Union Square, on the fringe of the energetic East Village, this unassuming little hotel is a welcome addition to the budget hotel scene. Rooms here aren't quite as cheap as those at its sister hotel, the Murray Hill Inn, but comforts are better quality; every room has a private bathroom, and everything feels fresh and new. Four standard rooms are tiny twins with trundle beds, and a handful in the deluxe category are spacious rooms with two double beds that can accommodate more than two if necessary. Most fall in the moderate category, with one double bed and little room to spare. All rooms boast quality mattresses and bedding, and pretty Italian-tile bathrooms. On the downside, the rooms lack views, open wall racks substitute for closets, most bathrooms have showers only, halls are narrow, and there's no elevator -- but those are minimal sacrifices considering the low prices. Services are virtually nonexistent in order to keep costs down, but everything you'll need -- from restaurants to dry cleaners to a slate of subway lines -- is right at hand in the hip, central-to-everything location.
