During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Just down the street from the Brooklyn Museum of Art (below) is the most popular botanic garden in the city. This peaceful 52-acre sanctuary is at its most spectacular in May, when thousands of deep pink blossoms of cherry trees are abloom. Well worth seeing is the spectacular Cranford Rose Garden, one of the largest and finest in the country; the Shakespeare Garden, an English garden featuring plants mentioned in his writings; a Children's Garden; the Osborne Garden, a 3-acre formal garden; the Fragrance Garden, designed for the blind but appreciated by all noses; and the extraordinary Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden. The renowned C. V. Starr Bonsai Museum is home to the world's oldest and largest collection of bonsai, while the impressive $2.5 million Steinhardt Conservatory holds the garden's extensive indoor plant collection.
Center for Jewish History
This 125,000-square-foot complex is the largest repository of Jewish history, art, and literature in the Diaspora. It unites five of America's leading institutions of Jewish scholarship: the American Jewish Historical Society (www.ajhs.org), the national archives of the Jewish people in the Americas; the Leo Baeck Institute (www.lbi.org), documenting the robust history of German-speaking Jewry from the 17th century until annihilation under the Nazis; the Yeshiva University Museum (www.yumuseum.org), general-interest exhibits, plus a renowned collection of Judaica objects confiscated by the Nazis; the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (www.yivoinstitute.org), focusing on exhibits exploring the diversity of the Jewish experience; and the American Sephardi Federation (www.asfonline.org), representing the spiritual, cultural, and social traditions of the American Sephardic communities (Jews from Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East). Together, this union represents about 100 million archival documents, 500,000 books, and tens of thousands of objects of art and ephemera, ranging from Thomas Jefferson's letter denouncing anti-Semitism to memorabilia of famous Jewish athletes.The main gallery space is the Yeshiva Museum, which comprises four galleries, an outdoor sculpture garden, and a children's workshop; a range of exhibits also showcase various holdings belonging to the other institutions as well. A central feature is the Reading Room, home to open stacks accessible by serious researchers and lay historians like, as well as the Center Genealogy Institute, which offers assistance in family history research. Another huge component of the Center is its 250-seat state-of-the-art auditorium, home to a packed schedule of lectures, music, and film presentations. If you get hungry, a kosher cafe is on site.
Washington Square Park
You'll be hard-pressed to find much "park" in this mainly concrete square -- a burial ground in the late 18th century -- but it's undeniably the focal point of Greenwich Village. Chess players, skateboarders, street musicians, New York University students, gay and straight couples, the occasional film crew, and not a few homeless people compete for attention throughout the day and most of the night. (If anyone issues a friendly challenge to play you in the ancient and complex Chinese game of Go, don't take them up on it -- you'll lose money.)In the 1830s, elegant Greek Revival town houses on Washington Square North, known as "The Row" (note especially nos. 21-26), attracted the elite. Stanford White designed Washington Arch (1891-92) to commemorate the centenary of George Washington's inauguration as first president. The arch was refurbished in 2004 and now features exterior lighting.
The Marcel
Being budget-challenged doesn't mean you have to settle for boring. This Gramercy Park hotel offers high style and a super-hip scene at low, low prices. Thanks to designers Goodman Charlton, who love to infuse retro styles with futuristic freshness, the Marcel sits on the cutting edge style-wise. Fab faux Mod Squad-era Scandinavian stylings in the lobby lead to guest rooms boasting gorgeous blond-wood built-ins that make clever use of limited space, and a bold geometric cushioned headboard adds a downright luxurious flair. The designer furnishings and textiles look and feel expensive, even if the somewhat lumpy beds don't; still, budget travelers will be thrilled. Even if the service isn't fabulous or the little details aren't perfect, you should feel like you're getting a great deal here.One of the strongest appeals of the Marcel is Spread (www.spreadnyc.com), a restaurant/lounge hybrid offering a creative small plates menu, a first-rate sushi bar, terrific cocktails, and a blast of an after-dark scene. The subterranean lounge Coal is an even more seductive space.
Gramercy Park Hotel
At press time, this creaky classic had just been contracted to be managed by Ian Schrager's hotel group, so expect changes to the very outdated rooms. We just do not know what those changes will be. Let's hope that nothing is done to the fabulous bars and sitting areas throughout the hotel. The kitschy Bar on Gramercy Park, with its pink and purple velour furniture, is one-of-a-kind, while the High Bar, on the hotel's rooftop, features alfresco imbibing with lovely views of Gramercy Park and the Empire State Building.
Sofitel New York
There are many fine hotels on the centrally located block of 44th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, but the newest (built in 2000) and best in this man's estimation is the soaring Sofitel. Upon entering the hotel and the warm, inviting lobby with check-in tucked off to the side, you wouldn't think you were entering a hotel that is less than 5 years old, which is one of the reasons why the hotel is so special. The designers have successfully melded modern, new world amenities with European old-world elegance. The rooms are spacious and ultra-comfortable, adorned with art from New York and Paris. The lighting is soft and romantic; the walls and windows soundproofed. Suites are extra-special, equipped with king beds, two televisions, and pocket doors separating the bedroom from a sitting room. Bathrooms in all rooms are magnificent, with separate showers and soaking tubs. The first entry into the New York market by the Accor Hotels & Resorts company of France, Sofitel reflects its heritage with a greeting of bonjour or bonsoir at reception; a unique gift shop with hard-to-find French products, including perfumes and cosmetics; and a stylish French restaurant called Gaby that bakes delicious croissants for breakfast.
