All those who are travelling to Newark for a few weeks or a whole month, or even a day, and you are bored stiff in your hotel room, wondering what to do and where to go. Maybe you've spared an extra day off your business trip before you leave, and you don't know where to go. The fact is that you shouldn't be bored at all. In Newark, it's literally a crime to be bored, with all the attractions on display. Newark is one of New Jersey's most popular locations, mostly because of several landmarks, entertainment centers and natural features. There is something for everyone here, whether they're outdoor Thrillist?s or indoor enthusiasts, adrenaline junkies or artists and historians, etc. So, whether you're here on a layover and wondering where to go, or you're here for full blown vacation but don't know where to go, here are a few ideas. If you are an enthusiast of the arts, Newark is home to establishments like the New Jersey Performing Center, located on Centre Street, an auditorium-like space that has housed and continues to house a series of major concert performances. It's perfect for dates, a solo visit or a group hangout. It's located in Newark's cultural district, so you won't be too far away from the rest of the fun. As a side note, the Performing Arts Centre is also home to the famous New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. Check out the symphony's website to see if they have any performances slated during the days of your visit or stay in Newark. Also, for art lovers, Newark's museum scene is one to check out. While not quite as pronounced as that of many other cities, the city is till home to a few museums, most notably the Newark Museum, found on Washington Street. It's home to a series of wonderful art, history and science exhibits, including a highly rated one about the Dalai Lama. If not for its archives, go see the Newark Museum for the wonder that is its 1909 architecture. Newark's other attractions are highly architectural too, including the Prudential Center, which is a multi-purpose indoor arena that opened in 2007. It's been a tourist hotspot ever since its inception and has enough space to seat 17000 to 18000 people for both hockey and basketball games. You can always check out the Restaurant at Prudential Center too, while you're there. Another building to check out is the New Jersey Historical Society Building. Already listed in the US National Register of Historical Places, the building was opened in 1926, and is currently one of Newark's most visited locations. Find it at 52 Park Place. When you're done traveling across the city, you can check out Newark's line of restaurants, including Allegro Seafood Grill on Kossuth Street, Vonda's kitchen on Wet Kinney Street, Wanderlust Burger Bar at Newark Liberty airport, Mercato Tomato Pie on Market Street. Remember to always check their websites first to see if they prefer reservations. In the same vein, Newark is also home to some of the most beautiful and most serene parks, including River Front Park, Branch Brook Park and Military Park. Riverfront Park is located on the edge of the Passaic River right next to Brill Street and is popular for night walks and yoga retreats. Branch Brook park covers over 360 land acres to become the largest public park in Newark and is perfect for retreats and relaxation because of its calm. Go there to see its hundreds of cherry blossom trees, see its lakes or take in the Branch Brook Park Roller Skating Center. If you have kids with you or just need to relax in the outside, go to the Military Park instead. It's wedged between the Broad, Park Place and Rector streets and comes with a history that your kids will want to know about. The park is always having visitors, so Zumba, lawn games, ping pong and other games are commonplace. After highlighting the major hotspots Newark has to offer, the question for new people is: how I do get around? Well, there are a few options to consider. If you haven't already rented a car from a reputable car rental agency, you can always get one from any agency office in Newark. You can also rent a bike, especially for the park visits. Newark also has both subway and light rail modes of transport, which we consider even more affordable if you're on a budget. You can always take the bus too.
