NEW YORK CITY AND ITS ENVIRONS
Newark

Presenter: Pete and Judy Weis
Presentation Date: February 13, 2025

• Newark

Just eight miles west of 25 Broadway is New Jersey’s largest city. Newark has an international airport, the East Coast’s busiest seaport, two concert halls, three Olmstead-designed parks, two railroad stations, a subway, a museum with the largest collection of American art, two state university campuses, business and tech corporate headquarters, a sometimes-troubled history, environmental (in)justice issues, and 312,000 residents in vibrant ethnic neighborhoods. All this could fit into the South Bronx with room left over.
