You may not think of New Jersey as part of New York City, but Newark International Airport is just a short trip away to the main action of the City that Never Sleeps. And you'll get to see all the other sights, including the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Science Center.

After your big trip, enjoy Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Pick up that last-minute souvenir at the gift shop or take a nice leisurely lunch at one of the main chain restaurants, like TGI Friday's or Chili's. Then grab a good old cup of coffee at Starbuck's or Dunkin' Donuts, while you wait patiently for your flight to board and take off.

Finally, take advantage of the shops around EWR. You can check out the deals at the duty free shops if you are taking an international flight. Or shop the retail stores, like Lacoste, Brookstone, and the Sunglass Hut. But before you even think of going home, check out the possibilities for your stay in Newark.
