Newark
About 305,000 people.
Newark is the biggest city in New Jersey and a busy gateway with one of the country's major airports. It has been an important center for business, trade, and travel for a very long time.
You can watch a show at the beautiful New Jersey Performing Arts Center, explore the Newark Museum of Art with its planetarium, or stroll through leafy Branch Brook Park to see thousands of cherry blossom trees in spring.

Cherry Blossoms
Branch Brook Park has more cherry blossom trees than anywhere else in the country, and each spring they burst into clouds of pink and white flowers.
