Newark is a vibrant destination within the Tri-State Area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, perfect for both business and leisure travelers. As New Jersey's most populous city and a key commercial hub, Newark boasts a strategic location near New York Harbor, making it a vital shipping port. Additionally, Newark Liberty International Airport is the first major airport serving the New York metropolitan area and ranks among the largest in the country.
Discovering Newark
Once you've secured your airfare to Newark, prepare to explore a city rich in colonial history and American heritage. Just five miles west of Manhattan and two miles north of Staten Island, Newark offers easy access to the attractions of New York City along with a peaceful retreat at day's end.
Colonial Heritage
Newark is the third-oldest city in the United States, founded in 1666 by Connecticut Puritans as Milford. In downtown Military Park, admire the "Wars of America" monument by Gutzon Borglum, famed for Mount Rushmore. Military Park also served as a training ground in the 17th century. For more history and science, visit the Newark Museum, featuring works by Georgia O’Keeffe and John Singer Sargent, as well as a renowned Tibetan collection. The museum complex includes a planetarium, café, sculpture garden, and the historic Ballantine House, a National Historic Landmark.
A Modern Renaissance
After the 1967 riots, Newark faced economic challenges, but started revitalizing in the 1990s. Today, the city offers a rich, multicultural experience with cutting-edge performance venues and new sporting facilities.
The New Jersey Performing Arts Center stands out, hosting top artists and international acts. The Lincoln Park/Coast district has transformed into a Cultural District, featuring an Arts Park, the Museum of African American Music, and Symphony Hall. Many of Newark’s 1920s skyscrapers and art-deco buildings have been beautifully restored. Don’t miss the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the U.S., showcasing stunning stained glass windows.
Explore Newark for a blend of historic charm and modern cultural experiences, and enjoy its unique offerings within the Tri-State Area.
