Newark puts you right at the doorstep of New York City, with Manhattan's skyline just a quick train ride across the river. The airport town itself has a strong food scene, above all in the Portuguese and Brazilian Ironbound district. Hop the train into the city and dive into everything New York has to offer!
When to go
Late spring and autumn bring the most comfortable weather and the city at its best. Summer is warm and lively but busy, while winter is cold with the occasional big snow and festive holiday crowds. Any season works if you dress for it.
Getting there from Montreal
From Montréal or Toronto, Newark Liberty (EWR) is often a nonstop flight or a short connection, which makes it a handy gateway to the whole New York area. As a US flight you clear American customs on the way, and several Canadian airports offer US preclearance so you land as a domestic arrival. From the terminals, the AirTrain links to NJ Transit and PATH trains that run straight into Manhattan.
What to see and do
- Quick access to Manhattan, from Times Square to Central Park
- The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island by ferry
- Newark's Ironbound dining district for Portuguese and Brazilian food
- Liberty State Park with its skyline views across the Hudson
Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and cards work nearly everywhere. Take the AirTrain to NJ Transit or PATH to reach Manhattan cheaply, then lean on the NYC subway once across the river; Uber and Lyft cover the rest and taxis are plentiful. English is the main language, tipping 18 to 20 percent is standard, and a MetroCard or OMNY tap gets you around the city.
