During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria
This Midtown branch of the Whitney Museum of American Art features an airy sculpture court and a petite gallery that hosts changing exhibits, usually the works of living contemporary artists. Well worth peeking into if you happen to be in the neighborhood. Free gallery talks are offered Wednesdays and Fridays at 1pm.
New York Public Library
The New York Public Library, adjacent to Bryant Park and designed by Carrère & Hastings (1911), is one of the country's finest examples of beaux arts architecture, a majestic structure of white Vermont marble with Corinthian columns and allegorical statues. Before climbing the broad flight of steps to the Fifth Avenue entrance, take note of the famous lion sculptures -- Fortitude on the right, and Patience on the left -- so dubbed by whip-smart former mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. At Christmastime they don natty wreaths to keep warm.This library is actually the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, only one of the research libraries in the New York Public Library system. The interior is one of the finest in the city and features Astor Hall, with high arched marble ceilings and grand staircases. The stupendous Main Reading Rooms have now reopened after a massive restoration and modernization that both brought them back to their stately glory and moved them into the computer age (goodbye, card catalogs!).Even if you don't stop in to peruse the periodicals, you may want to check out one of the excellent rotating exhibitions. Call or check the website to see what's on while you're in town. There's also a full calendar of lecture programs, with past speakers ranging from Tom Stoppard to Cokie Roberts; popular speakers often sell out, so it's a good idea to purchase tickets in advance.
The Cloisters
If it weren't for this branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, many New Yorkers would never get to this northernmost point in Manhattan. This remote yet lovely spot is devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Atop a magnificent cliff overlooking the Hudson River, you'll find a 12th-century chapter house, parts of five cloisters from medieval monasteries, a Romanesque chapel, and a 12th-century Spanish apse brought intact from Europe. Surrounded by peaceful gardens, this is the one place on the island that can even approximate the kind of solitude suitable to such a collection. Inside you'll find extraordinary works that include the famed Unicorn tapestries, sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, ivory, and precious metal work.Despite its remoteness, the Cloisters are extremely popular, especially in fine weather, so try to schedule your visit during the week rather than on a crowded weekend afternoon. A free guided Highlights Tour is offered Tuesday through Friday at 3pm and Sunday at noon; gallery talks are also a regular feature. Additionally, Garden Tours are offered Tuesday through Sunday at 1pm in May, June, September, and October; lectures and other special programming are always on Sunday from noon to 2pm; and medieval music concerts are regularly held in the stunning 12th-century Spanish chapel. For an extra-special experience, you may want to plan your visit around one.
Affinia Dumont
After a $15-million renovation in 2003, the former Dumont Plaza Hotel reopened as the all-suite Affinia Dumont and is probably New York's only fitness-focused suite hotel. Here, instead of those basic New York City guide magazines stocked in the rooms, you get a choice of Sports Illustrated, Shape, or Men's Fitness. Plus, when you book a room, you can request a complimentary "Fit Kit" that will be prepared based on your needs for an in-room workout. But you might want to venture out and to the hotel's terrific fitness spa, complete with all the most advanced weights, cardio equipment, and massage and skin treatments. You might even bump into a few gap-toothed hockey players in town to play the Rangers, or 7-foot, 6-inch basketball player Yao Ming, who had a bed custom-made for his extra-long frame. But even if you don't want to break a sweat during your stay, the hotel features amenities that make it a very attractive option. The spacious suites range from studios to two-bedrooms, and all include full kitchens, at least one 27-inch TV, a large desk with an ergonomic chair, the "Affinia Bed," with a custom-designed mattress and four-selection "pillow menu," and a minibar stocked with unusual options, such as health elixirs with names like Depth Recharger or Virtual Buddha. The hotel is a bit away from the center of Midtown, but still within easy walking distance to Herald Square shopping, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, and Grand Central Station, making it a very welcome addition to the hotel scene.
Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel
This attractive and intimate Irish-themed hotel is from the Dublin-based Fitzpatrick chain, and it's a terrific choice for those who like the creature comforts a chain hotel can offer but detest the generic blandness that's usually part of the package. Kelly green-carpeted hallways lead to guest rooms that are pleasingly modern with traditional European accents. Half-canopies are a unique and sophisticated touch, and three phones, a fridge stocked with Irish spring water, windows that shut out the street noise and open to let fresh air in, and sharp white and navy blue-tiled bathrooms with lots of space and makeup mirrors add to the comfort level. The L-shaped junior suites also have VCRs, CD players, and extra TVs (including one in the giant bathroom), but a sitting room sans pullout sofa means they're most suited for couples looking for luxury. The Garden Suites boast outdoor patios and big, beautifully tiled bathrooms, making them a worthy splurge. The staff is accustomed to catering to U.N. dignitaries, so you can reasonably expect your needs to be well met. The Wheeltapper Pub is an attractive and comfortable Irish pub serving genuine, affordable pub grub as well as Sunday brunch.
The Alex
One of the few new hotels to debut in 2003, The Alex not only continues the trend of high style, it takes it to a new level. The hotel's theme is serenity and comfort, and that's a tough task when you are located in the middle of one of the busiest sections of Manhattan. Renowned designer David Rockwell, using his trademark economically sleek, moderne style, has created a soothing and very glossy retreat. Each room features furniture designed exclusively for the hotel, such as the four mobile pieces -- a chair, a low game table, a coffee table that rises to dining table height, and a nightstand. And all rooms, which range from large junior suites to one- and two-bedroom apartments, also feature state-of-the-art full kitchens with sub-zero refrigerators that are so cleverly designed it took this high-style innocent way too long to distinguish it from the other kitchen amenities. But who needs a refrigerator when you can order room service from the hotel's fabulous restaurant, Riingo ?You'll also find flat-panel televisions in each room and in the bathrooms, which feature rain-forest showers and Frederic Fekkai products. Efficiency is the key word here, and service goes out of its way to make sure they meet the specific needs of each of the hotel's guests. My only real complaint is that in their search for efficiency, the workspace, hidden inside a closet, is much too small. But why come here to work when there are all those toys and gadgets to play with?
