During your Newark vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Children's Museum of the Arts
Interactive workshop programs for children ages 1 to 12 and their families are the attraction here. Kids dabble in puppet making and computer drawing or join in singalongs and live performances. Also look for rotating exhibitions of the museum's permanent collection featuring WPA work. Call or check the website for the current exhibition and activities schedule.
Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, a black Puerto Rican, set himself to accumulating materials about blacks in America, and his massive collection -- one of the largest collections of African-American materials in the world -- is now housed and preserved at this research branch of the New York Public Library. The Exhibition Hall, the Latimer/Edison Gallery, and the Reading Room host changing exhibits related to black culture, such as Lest We Forget: The Triumph over Slavery and Masterpieces of African Motherhood. A rich calendar of talks and performing arts events is also part of the continuing program. Make an appointment for a guided tour so you can see the 1930s murals by Harlem Renaissance artist Aaron Douglas; it'll be worth your while. Academics and others interested in a more complete look at the center's holdings can preview what's available online. Call to inquire about current exhibitions and information on tours and public programs.
P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
If you're interested in contemporary art that's too cutting-edge for most museums, don't miss this MoMA affiliate museum. Originally a public school (hence the name), this is the world's largest institution exhibiting contemporary art from America and abroad. You can expect to see a kaleidoscopic array of works from artists ranging from Jack Smith to Julian Schnabel; the museum is particularly well known for large-scale exhibitions by artists such as James Turrell.
Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park
There's a lot to like about this hotel -- from its enviable location overlooking Central Park to the impeccable and personable service -- but what I like best is that this undoubtedly luxury hotel manages to maintain a homey elegance, and does not intimidate you with an overabundance of style.Rooms are spacious and decorated in traditional, English countryside-style. Suites are larger than most New York City apartments. Rooms facing Central Park come with telescopes, and all have flat-screen TVs with DVD; the hotel even has a library of Academy Award-winning films available. The marble bathrooms are also oversize and feature a choice of bathrobes, terry or linen, and extravagant Frederic Fekkai bath amenities.For families who can afford the very steep prices, the hotel is extremely kid-friendly. Suites have sofa beds, and cribs and rollaway beds can be brought in. Children are given in-room cookies and milk. You can even bring your dog (under 60 lb.); if it rains, the pooch gets to wear a Burberry trench coat. Now that's homey elegance. While the kids and dogs are entertained, the older folks can be pampered with facials or massages at the Switzerland-based La Prairie Spa, or dine at the spectacular Atelier .Facilities: Restaurant; bar; lobby lounge for tea and cocktails; fitness center and La Prairie spa and facial center; concierge; complimentary Bentley limousine service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; overnight laundry/dry-cleaning; technology butler and bath butler services.
Hotel Newton
Located on the burgeoning northern extreme of the Upper West Side, the Newton, unlike many of its peers, doesn't scream "budget" at every turn. As you enter the pretty lobby, you're greeted by a uniformed staff that's attentive and professional. The rooms are generally large, with good, firm beds, a work desk, and a sizable new bathroom, plus roomy closets in most (a few of the cheapest have wall racks only). Some are big enough to accommodate families, with two doubles or two queen beds. The suites feature two queen beds in the bedroom, a sofa in the sitting room, plus niceties such as microwave, minifridge, and iron, making them well worth the few extra dollars. The bigger rooms and suites have been upgraded with cherrywood furnishings, but even the older laminated furniture is much nicer than I usually see in this price range. The AAA-approved hotel is impeccably kept. The 96th Street express subway stop is just a block away, providing convenient access to the rest of the city, and the Key West Diner next door is a favorite for huge, cheap breakfasts.
WJ Hotel
This is one of the few affordable hotels situated in the heart of my favorite Manhattan neighborhood for dining, Hell's Kitchen. Anyone who stayed here when the WJ was the Washington Jefferson won't recognize the joint after a recent renovation. The lobby has tripled in size and taken on a warm and welcoming ambience, with a friendly, snappily attired staff and more than a dash of designer style. Snazzy red-carpeted halls lead to rooms that are small -- don't say I didn't warn you -- but very attractively outfitted in a palette of soft grays. Nice touches include platform beds with generous cushioned headboards and fluffy goose-down comforters. The gorgeous limestone-and-slate bathrooms are stylish and relatively spacious, although some have showers only. Score 1 of the 18 king rooms if you can; they're roomy and boast a pullout love seat as well as a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. The Japanese restaurant in the hotel is just a sample of some of the different ethnic cuisines you will find in the neighborhood.
