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!

Agonized over finding a reliable limo service from Philadelphia suburbs to Newark airport recently. Read over many reviews and finally decided on Empire. My friend and I were very impressed by the professionalism and courtesy of the drivers. Everything about our transport was positive including the reliable pickup and the drivers' skills ability behind the wheel . Our drivers were German and Bober. Kudos to them and to Empire

First introduce to Jimenez Cigars from their stand inside the Prudential Center during Devils games. Always liked their cigars so I decided to go for the short walk from the "Rock" to Jimenez. They are located in a quaint little building with a private outside courtyard. Cigar production and store is on the lower level, the lounge/bar area is on the second floor. A lovely cigar "ambassador" will take your coat and show you to a comfy seat. A professional mixologist (IE very talented) will prepare a premium cocktail from their top shelf bar.

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.
