The history alone drew me in... a place where Sinatra sang in the 40s and St Anthony's HS won basketball state championships - now beautifully renovated with a great sound system. I loved the size - roomy enough but very intimate. Great restaurants downstairs.

Liberty State Park

Reviewed By ERat - Bunker Hill, United States

We stopped by for a quick visit before checking in to our hotel. All I can say is WOW! If you want a great view of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty without the crowds and craziness, you need to stop here. This would be a perfect picnic spot during warmer months!

Empty Sky - 9/11 Memorial

Reviewed By Unresolved_Issue - Edison, United States

This memorial is absolutely beautiful, yet a sobering reminder of the events of 9/11. Liberty State Park opens at 6:00 am so visiting the memorial before the sun rises offers a quiet, peaceful visit. This is a must visit for anyone in the area. The park itself also offers great views of Lower Manhattan.

Downtown Jersey City, New Jersey - Waterfront 9/11 Memorial - #8

Reviewed By travellikeawomen - Moorestown, United States

Had an event at Hudson House. Stayed overnight Hyatt House. Was worried when we walked into Lobby of old bldg. However, hotel checkin was Terrace Level and was lovely. Room immaculate, view of water front outstanding. Complimentary breakfast delicious. Rooftop bar that we didn’t get to enjoy cause of rain but is open year round. Will definitely stay again. Downtown adorable and safe.

MetLife Stadium

Reviewed By wallacejain - New Delhi, India

A football game in the United States is a passion bordering on the religious fanaticism and a favourite pass time for multitudes. A visit to the METLIFE Stadium while a game is on has to be experienced to be believed. The stadium ground is so huge that if you genuinely want to watch the game, you might as well concentrate on the giant screens put on all sides. However, I get the impression that most of the people come here just to be a part of it and have a great time as well. The game itself is hard to understand with 3-5 second of activity and then another 30-45 seconds of break. It’s like watching a snail walk, were it not for the vibrant environment at the stadium. An one hour game generally takes about three hours to finish. The stadium itself is so huge that if you are coming here, be prepared to walk up to twenty minutes going in and coming out. It is a great show non-the-less, and not to be missed if you can get the tickets, that is.

Liberty Science Center

Reviewed By 302laurat - Manchester, United States

We visited Liberty Science Center over President's Day weekend because it was on the way home from a visit with friends and because it would be free entry with our ASTC membership to another museum. Because of our membership, we have been to multiple science centers along the east coast and I expected to see the same exhibits you see everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with Liberty Science Center! They had multiple floors with a variety of exhibits that held the kids' interests all day. And you can't beat those views! My son's favorite installation was the Dream Machine where he loved trying out the different sounds and listening to the cacophony. Of course, both kids loved the Infinity Climber and my daughter was proud of herself after conquering the Touch Tunnel. The new Lion Guard exhibit is cute, but very crowded, and clearly designed for the younger set. However, my kids enjoyed it nonetheless. I loved the Skyscraper exhibit - I found it very informative for adults and super fun for kids as they got to walk an I-beam! The best part, though were the experiments! In both the Microbes Rule! and Our Hudson Home, children can sign up to have a more individualized experience with science. They wear lab coats and with guidance from staff, recreate real-life experiments. It was a unique experience I haven't seen at other centers. Although we saw most of the areas, I can't wait to return in the warmer weather to take advantage of the outside animal challenge! Liberty Science Center is a must-see for families due to it's multiple engaging hands-on exhibits!
