During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Mother A.M.E. Zion Church
Another of Harlem's great gospel churches is this African Methodist Episcopal house of worship, the first black church to be founded in New York State. Established on John Street in Lower Manhattan in 1796, Mother A.M.E. was known as the "Freedom Church" for the central role it played in the Underground Railroad. Among the escaped slaves the church hid was Frederick Douglass; other famous congregants have included Sojourner Truth and Paul Robeson. Mother A.M.E. relocated to Harlem in 1914, and moved into this grand edifice in 1925. Rousing Sunday services are at 11am.
Central Park Zoo/Tisch Children's Zoo
Here is a pleasant refuge within a refuge where lithe sea lions frolic in the central pool area with beguiling style, gigantic but graceful polar bears glide back and forth across a watery pool that has glass walls through which you can observe very large paws doing very smooth strokes, monkeys seem to regard those on the other side of the fence with knowing disdain, and in the hot and humid Tropic Zone, large colorful birds swoop around in freedom, sometimes landing next to nonplused visitors.Because of its small size, the zoo is at its best with its displays of smaller animals. The indoor multilevel Tropic Zone is a real highlight, its steamy rainforest home to everything from black-and-white colobus monkeys to Emerald tree boa constrictors to a leaf-cutter ant farm; look for the new dart poison frog exhibit, which is very cool. So is the large penguin enclosure in the Polar Circle, which is better than the one at San Diego's SeaWorld. In the Temperate Territory, look for the Asian red pandas (cousins to the big black-and-white ones), which look like the world's most beautiful raccoons. Despite their pool and piles of ice, however, the polar bears still look sad.The entire zoo is good for short attention spans; you can cover the whole thing in 1 1/2 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the crowds and how long you like to linger. It's also very kid-friendly, with lots of well-written and -illustrated placards that older kids can understand. For the littlest ones, there's the $6 million Tisch Children's Zoo. With pigs, llamas, potbellied pigs, and more, this petting zoo and playground is a real blast for the 5-and-under set.
Abyssinian Baptist Church
The most famous of Harlem's more than 400 houses of worship is this Baptist church, founded downtown in 1808 by African-American and Ethiopian merchants. It was moved uptown to Harlem back in the 1920s by Adam Clayton Powell Sr., who built it into the largest Protestant congregation -- white or black -- in America. His son, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (for whom the adjoining boulevard was named), carried on his tradition, and also became the first-ever black U.S. congressman. Abyssinian is now the domain of the fiery, activist-minded Rev. Calvin O. Butts, whom the chamber of commerce has declared a "Living Treasure." The Sunday morning services -- at 9 and 11am -- offer a wonderful opportunity to experience the Harlem gospel tradition.
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.
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.
