St. Lucy's Church

Reviewed By mitch89tx - Plano, United States

We were walking around Newark and came across this church. It's not as spectacular as the Cathedral Basilica just a few blocks away, but this is still a gem worth seeing if you enjoy old churches and architecture!

The history alone drew me in... a place where Sinatra sang in the 40s and St Anthony's HS won basketball state championships - now beautifully renovated with a great sound system. I loved the size - roomy enough but very intimate. Great restaurants downstairs.

At the center of the historic & once grand Newark downtown the first class museum with striking exhibit space offers insights into both the old & resurgent city. Adjacent to the elegant Ballantine mansion, overflowing with silver & handsome furnishings, the eclectic collection contains masterpieces from the 19th century & Hudson River School, Corning & Steuben glass, jewelry & modern crafts as well. Although we ran out of time, on our next visit - with discounts for seniors - we look forward to exploring the 20th century art.

Thomas Edison National Historical Park

Reviewed By jeanl521 - Newton, United States

Whether you love American history, technology, art/design, or just seeing fascinating STUFF, you'll love walking around the Edison laboratory. From the cubbyholes stuffed with papers in his rolltop desk in the gorgeous library, to the mind-boggling machinery, to the music room with a working cylinder-playing phonograph, you get a sense of this driven personality who created modern America. One of the best historical sites.

George Street Playhouse

Reviewed By audreylebowitz - Manalapan, United States

Went with 4 other friends to the newly renovated Play house and was pleasantly surprised. It's easy to walk into now with our any steps. Very refreshed with open lobby and bar. The theatre seems intimate with new seats. We sat on left front and it was comfortable and easy to see. We saw Renee Taylor in her one person performance of her Life on a Diet. She's 82 years old and going strong. She had quite an interesting life whuch she revealed. She likes to be busy and as long as there is life and food, she's doing it. I will definitely go back to this theatre again. Parking lots are all around. You can pre-pay.

State Theatre

Reviewed By Q6397ZKfrankg - Pittstown, United States

Great venue for concerts and regional theater. Reasonably priced (most times), easy to get to and great restaurants in the area. Theater has good acoustics and brings in some really good talent. Hats off to management for booking Regina Spektor. Oldies shows have been excellent.
