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.

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.

American Museum of Natural History
This is one of the hottest museum tickets in town, thanks to the $210 million Rose Center for Earth and Space, whose four-story-tall planetarium sphere hosts the excellent Harrison Ford-narrated Space Show "Are We Alone?," the most technologically advanced sky show on the planet. Prepare to be blown away. The show is short -- less than a half-hour from start to finish -- but phenomenal. (New York magazine has called it "the world's largest, most powerful virtual-reality simulator.")Buy your tickets in advance for the Space Show in order to guarantee admission (they're available online); I also recommend buying tickets in advance for a specific IMAX film or special exhibition, such as the Butterfly Conservatory , especially during peak seasons (summer, autumn, holiday time) and for weekend visits; otherwise, you might miss out.Other must-sees include the Big Bang Theater, which re-creates the theoretical birth of the universe; the main Hall of the Universe, with its very own 15 1/2-ton meteorite; and the terrific Hall of Planet Earth, which focuses on the geologic processes of our home planet (great volcano display!). All in all, you'll need a minimum of 2 hours to fully explore the Rose Center. Tip: Friday night is a great time to plan your visit, as the center isn't overcrowded, live jazz and food fill the Hall of the Universe, and, bathed in blue light, the sphere looks magical.The rest of the 4-square-block museum is nothing to sneeze at, either. Founded in 1869, it houses the world's greatest natural science collection in a square-block group of buildings made of towers and turrets, pink granite and red brick. The diversity of the holdings is astounding: some 36 million specimens, ranging from microscopic organisms to the world's largest cut gem, the Brazilian Princess Topaz (21,005 carats). Rose Center aside, it would take you all day to see the entire museum, and then you still wouldn't get to everything. If you don't have a lot of time, you can see the best of the best on free highlights tours offered daily every hour at 15 minutes after the hour from 10:15am to 3:15pm. Free daily spotlight tours, thematic tours that change monthly, are also offered; stop by an information desk for the day's schedule. Audio Expeditions, high-tech audio tours that allow you to access narration in the order you choose, are also available to help you make sense of it all.If you only see one exhibit, see the dinosaurs, which take up the entire fourth floor.The Hall of Biodiversity is an impressive multimedia exhibit, but its doom-and-gloom story about the future of rainforests and other natural habitats might be too much for the little ones. Kids 5 and up should head to the Discovery Room, with lots of hands-on exhibits and experiments. (Parents, be prepared: There seems to be a gift shop overflowing with fuzzy stuffed animals at every turn.) After a renovation, the Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites opened in late 2003, transformed into a hands-on exhibit.The museum excels at special exhibitions, so check to see what will be on while you're in town in case any advance planning is required. The magical Butterfly Conservatory, a walk-in enclosure housing nearly 500 free-flying tropical butterflies, has developed into a can't-miss fixture from October through May; check to see if it's in the house while you're in town.

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

Hotel Plaza Athénée
This hideaway in New York's toniest neighborhood (the stretch of Madison Ave. in the 60s), is a mirror image of that elevated social strata; it's elegant, luxurious, and oozing with sophistication. With antique furniture, hand-painted murals, and the Italian marble floor that adorns the exquisite lobby, the Plaza Athénée has a distinctly European feel. And in that tradition, service here is as good as it gets, with personalized check-in and attentive staff at every turn.The rooms, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes, are all high-ceilinged and spacious; entrance foyers give them a real residential feel. The rooms are designed in rich fabrics and warm colors that help set a tone that makes you want to lounge in your room longer than you should. The suites have so much closet space it made this New Yorker, used to miniscule apartment closets, very envious. All of the suites have chaises, which you don't see too often in New York hotels, and a few have terraces large enough to dine out on. The Portuguese marble bathrooms are outfitted with thick robes made exclusively for the hotel; put one on and you might never want to take it off. The lush lounge is appropriately called Bar Seine and is a welcome spot for a pre-dinner cocktail. The restaurant, Arabelle, receives high praise for its weekend brunch. Though not the most technologically advanced hotel -- the televisions are old and there are no VCRs or DVD players -- you don't come to the Plaza Athénée for high tech, you come to escape it.

Skyline Hotel
This nice, newly renovated motor hotel offers predictable comforts and some uncommon extras -- inexpensive storage parking ($8 per day) and a lovely indoor pool -- that make it a very good value. A pleasant lobby leads to motel-standard rooms that were, thankfully, recently renovated, and are bigger than most in this price range. There are two room categories: standard, with two twin beds, and deluxe, with either a king bed with sofa or a queen bed. The deluxe with king and sofa is best for families. They boast decent-size closets, small work desks (in most), and double-paned windows that open to let fresh air in, and shut out a surprising amount of street noise when closed. Some rooms have brand-new bathrooms, but the older ones are still fine. Everything is very well kept. Another plus for the family is the pool, which has a nicely tiled deck and plush deck chairs, but it's only open limited hours, so call ahead if it matters.

Washington Square Hotel
Popular with a young international crowd, this affordable hotel sits behind a pretty facade facing Washington Square Park (historically Henry James territory, now the heart of New York University) in the heart of Greenwich Village. The lobby was recently renovated and is now a pleasant place for tea in the afternoon and cocktails in the evening. The rooms are tiny, but pleasant. Each comes with a firm bed, a private bathroom, and a small closet with a pint-size safe. It's worth paying a few extra dollars for a south-facing room on a high floor, since others can be a bit dark. Bathrooms were also renovated, with the addition of granite counters; high-speed Internet access is in all of the rooms. On-site is a very good restaurant and lounge, North Square Lounge, which even draws locals with its stylish design, well-priced cocktails and international bistro fare, and Sunday jazz brunch.
