One of the five Loew’s Wonder Theatres, this Baroque/Rococo building underwent several changes since it first opened in 1929 but is currently being renovated and restored to its original design with a few technological upgrades.
Choose your type of cruise on a tour with the Spirit of New Jersey. Pick a festive (not to mention delicious) lunch or dinner cruise that allows you to indulge in some decadent food while taking a cruise down the Hudson. Take in the sights of the famous skylines as well as the beautiful harbor lights at night.
See everything from ancient Asian artifacts to contemporary African art at the Newark Museum.
