Newark is the most populous city in the state of New Jersey. In 1666, Puritans came to settle in Newark, and this historical significance makes Newark one of the oldest European-founded cities in the United States. In addition to being the location for the headquarters of brands such as Panasonic and Audible.com, Newark is less than 10 miles from Manhattan. That proximity makes it a popular place for people to stay close to NYC without paying the typically higher accommodation prices.
While in Newark, make sure to look for the murals. There are 21 of them, and one of the largest is in the downtown district. It stretches for more than a mile. If you're a jazz music fan, make plans to stop by the Institute of Jazz Studies. Considered one of the best jazz music research destinations in the world, it houses more than 200,000 recordings.
During your time in Newark, you may want to stay in the Meadowlands district, a wetlands area. It's home to the Meadowlands Sports Complex, which hosts sports and entertainment events. Alternatively, there are many Newark accommodation options in the downtown area, plus near the Lincoln Tunnel. Hotels close to the latter destination are ideal if part of your trip includes time in the Big Apple.
You can reach Newark by car on Interstates 78 and 95. If you're flying into the area, you'll probably land at Newark Liberty International Airport, which is just minutes from both the Newark city center and New York's Penn Station. There is also a Newark Penn Station, served by Amtrak.
