Neighborhoods
Joined at the hip by subways and bridges, light rail, and roads to the massive metro area of New York City across the Hudson to the west, Newark might look small next to its near neighbor but it’s still the largest city in the entire Garden State.
That means travelers who make their way here across state borders are in for a medley of history going back to 1666 (this is actually one of the oldest cities in the US to boot!), unique art, heritage and cuisine, all infused and powered by a multicultural mix of Jewish, Creole, African-American, Italian, Irish and a whole load more influences besides.
In this list, we flit between the blossoming parks of cherry trees on the edge of the city, along the riverfront walkways with views of Jersey City in the west, back to the downtown theatres and art centers, and into some of the enticing little eateries and jazz bars that pepper the inner districts of Newark itself. Here are the best things to do in Newark, Enjoy!

City/town information
New York is at the vanguard of western art, entertainment, food trends, fashion, and finance. Now, you could get cute and obscure when you compile a guide like this.
But truth be told, this isn’t enough for a city like New York, which is why our list is packed shamelessly with big-hitters, from the Statue of Liberty to Central Park, Ellis Island, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Empire State, Broadway, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
These things are non-negotiable if you want to do New York justice, even if you’ll be accompanied by a few thousand tourists.
We’ve got a breathless ride through a city seared in the minds of people around the world, immortalized in television and movies, and able to inspire wonder, awe, quiet reflection, and joy in even the most cynical travelers.
