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.

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.

Could visit the Statue Of Liberty and take a scenic river cruise.

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.

Yo Paulie, I could pick you up at the airport can I could take you for a ride in the Pine Barrens? We dig holes in the ground BEFORE we get there???


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?


Just let me know....we can have a good time. Maybe, just maybe we'll show you where Jimmy Hoffa was last seen when they were building The Meadowland Stadium!
