Les meilleurs hôtels à Newark

Don't put down Newark. Although a bit overshadowed by the city just across the bridge (that would be New York City), Newark is on the rise economically and culturally, with an increasingly stable business environment and the return of companies from the burbs. Like most of the U.S. northeastern seaboard, Newark is prominent in the nation's history, founded in 1666 by Puritans disgruntled with their New Haven Colony (which was later merged with the Connecticut colony). Besides being the city where the Reverend Hannibal Goodwin invented reel-to-reel film, making possible modern filmmaking, Newark is also home to such celebrities as Allen Ginsberg, Whitney Houston and Ice-T. Educational opportunities in Newark include the New Jersey Institute of Technology, one of three Rutgers' campuses and the Institute of Jazz Studies, "the world's foremost jazz archive and research facility." Ask most students, and they'll tell you the preferred local hangout is McGovern's Tavern on New Street, but for an experience of a more religious nature, visit the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. Downtown, the Gateway towers stand out as New Jersey's largest office complex, while the recently-refurbished Newark Museum adds that touch of culture.
