Boulevard East

John F. Kenneday Boulevard East connects Weehawken, West New York, Guttenberg and North Bergen, New Jersey.

Reviewed By skulkarni2016 - Bengaluru, India

We walk along the bouleward almost daily. The walk is really enjoyable both during day time and evenings. The walk in recent days - November 2nd week is more enjoyable during the noons when tje Sun is shining. On any day evening walks give a chance to have glimpse of lit skylines of New York which is fascinating.

Beautiful architecture. Nice interiors and ambience. It has a large pipe organ. Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart is the seat of the Archdiocese of Newark. Cathedral Basilica holds concerts open to the public throughout the year. Good parking space.

Hoboken Waterfront Walkway

Reviewed By 509DENISEH - Titonka, United States

This view never gets old. We only get to visit here every couple years but visitors that come to NYC never get to see this spectacular view of the city from Hoboken. After a great meal in Hoboken, this was a great walk to end a wonderful evening. The city of Hoboken has done a great job with this river walk.

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!

Ringwood Manor

Reviewed By R4960NKjustinw - Hasbrouck Heights, United States

I love coming to Ringwood Manor at Christmas Time. It really is a special place when you see it all decorated for the holidays. The whole house is in full Christmas decor. Each room has a different theme to it and is decorated to the hilt. The Friends organization does a nice job showcasing the house at the holidays. I am sure that the family did not decorate that much. My favorite room was the formal dining room that was set for Christmas lunch with all the tableware and fake foods on the side board. The house is beautifully decorated but not overdone. Remember to visit the barn on the property to see all the arts and crafts for sale. In the smaller gift shop in the house, take time to see all the handmade ornaments. One of the crafters is really creative. There is also a small coffee shop in the next building to have a snack. It is really a nice afternoon at the Ringwood Manor.

Newark Museum

The Newark Museum, New Jersey's largest museum, invites you to enjoy unforgettable experiences in the arts and natural sciences. Take an inspirational journey through 80 galleries of world-class collections, travel to the stars in our popular Planetarium, and stroll through our beautiful sculpture garden.

Reviewed By Herstory_62 - Philadelphia, United States

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.

Hamilton Park

This is where in 1804, Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton.

Reviewed By kelliplansitall - Keller, United States

Hamilton Park has the most breathtaking views of Manhattan. Additionally there is a little monument for the Alexander Hamilton - Aaron Burr duel. The actual dueling ground would have been somewhere in the trees below the cliff, so largely inaccessible. It’s beautiful and somber to consider the lives lost here (since it was home to more duels than just this famous one). We took the ferry across from the city and then took an Uber to the park. Walking to the park is not impossible, but it’s not easy and mostly uphill, making it difficult for my travel companion.

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.
