Classic pre-WW2 office buildings. I worked in 744 Broad St for about a decade. Beautiful lobby and mezzanine. Even better, the NJ Devils main office was in there while the Rock was being planned/built. Got to see the Stanley Cup in the lobby one day.

It definitely has some great diverse architecture. If you haven’t gotten a chance to check out the basilica of the sacred heart yet that’s probably my favorite building in the state

Is it by the branch brook park? Btw how do you like the park? I’m fairly new and haven’t gotten a chance to visit that part of the city!

Spring time at branch brook park is amazing, can't imagine fall is any different! I'm new here as well and this will be my first fall.

Branch Brook park is beautiful year-round. And yes, the cathedral is right next to the southernmost tip of Branch Brook.

Yup it’s right over by branch brook park! And I like it. It’s a really nice place to spend an afternoon outside. Only thing I would change is to not allow cars to drive through it lol

Newark gives me such a cold and unwelcome feeling. I’ve grown up in Essex and had to live in Newark for a time as a kid. Even the nicer buildings just give such a bad aura for me.

Brnach Brook is one of Newarks best hidden gem. It’s incredible well maintained and in the spring theres tons of Cherry Blossom. Definitely check out the festival in spring

The Neighborhood is called Forest Hill and it borders the park to the East ,north of 2nd to MT Prospect and up to the Belleville Border. There are also pockets of the Oranges with really nice architecture which is often overlooked. I've walked all 4 Oranges this past year...usually in chunks of 5-7 miles per trip..

Needs more Infill in the Downtown Core to generate buzz... DT NWL feels like DT JC in the mid 2000s before the current transformation took hold.

Wow this is super cool!! Thanks for sharing!

Tbh I didn’t know any of the oranges is walkable 😭

Is this by the Whole Foods/across the street from the YMCA downtown? :)

Yes!

Most of Essex County is walkable at least East of the Watchung Mountains..

Wayne tower some say

Be careful.

Are you okay?

I see relics of bygone eras. And some lights coming out of them. The bench looks like it needs a change of scenery and a place to sit down.

???

What are you smoking?

Got married in the National Bank Building back in 2009. Newark holds a special place in my heart going back over 30 years.

Plenty cars stolen or broken into, two apartment robberies, did my undergrad and some grad studies at NJIT, roamed the hallways of Essex County Community College as a snot nosed kid while my mother worked there, late nights and street fights.

Even before the Prudential Center was built up, that whole area was a mini mall with all kinds of shops. My mother used to pickup some delicious peanut brittle from one of the stores there. Alas, urban development/gentrification...

I wasn't a bad kid by any measure, but I knew what was up and who to run with and who to stay clear of.

Newark is indeed a beautiful city that would have swallowed you whole if your weren't careful "back in thr day"

The Stanley Cups were originally designed and manufactured by Tiffany, which was based in Newark. I learned that during a tour of an awesome museum. In Newark that is housed in a 200 year old mega-awesome mansion.
