Things to do in New Jersey

[Canuck]

due to an airline travel mistake I have a day to spare when I arrive in Newark,NJ on July 16. I am looking for suggestions for something to do while I wait for my wifes flight to arrive (as in all day Friday). I have been to Manhattan lots so I dont need to go there,but have never spent anytime in New Jersey (OK start the jokes now). Any suggestions? I am an avid golfer if there is a recommendation for local courses. Car museums? Collections? Thought about Atlantic City but may be too far to do a day trip.

I'm still thinking.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

Oh, there is a big cruise night on Fridays that occurs on Main Street in Somerville, NJ. Lots of cars and very busy. It's about 40 miles from Newark Airport.

I went to the Statue and Ellis Island last fall. It was a great trip and a nice way to spend one day if you are nearby.

How far's the Englishtown track from there and would anything good be happening on a Friday?.

E-Town? Probably 2.5 hours, worth the trip.

Or maybe I could drive you into Kearny in my 74 Caddy for a roast pork &amp; provolone' sang-wich at my favorite store with some friends of mine?

....or maybe we can catch dinner at my friend, Artie's restaurant. The veal is the best in the city. Or maybe some mussels in red sauce?

My favorite episode of the Sopranos was &quot;the Pine Barrens&quot;.
Loved the entire series.
