What to Do in Newark

If it’s history or college sports you’re after, Newark accommodation in the Central Ward is where you want to be. Visit the Krueger mansion, Eberhardt Hall, of the Abyssinian Baptist church, then catch a game at Berkeley College, NJIT or Rutgers University.

The East ward, known as The Ironbound, is where you can find hundreds of restaurants and specialty shops, many with a Portuguese, Brazilian or Spanish influence. Check out restaurant row on Ferry Street, along with plenty of boutique fashion and jewellery stores.

Thinking of visiting Washington D.C. during cherry blossom season? You may not need to. The North ward near accommodation in Newark has a whopping 600 more cherry trees than the nation’s capital, so take a stroll into Branch Brook Park if you visit in the spring.

Any time of year, you can enjoy Weequahic or Ivy Hill Park for greenery in the Garden State.
