Hotels Close to Newark Lincoln Park
The Coast or Lincoln Park is a neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey, bounded by the Springfield/Belmont, South Broad Valley, South Ironbound and Downtown neighborhoods. It is bounded by Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (High Street) to the west, Kinney St. to the north, the McCarter Highway to the east and South St., Pennsylvania Ave., Lincoln Place and Clinton Ave. to the south. In the early 20th century, the Lincoln Park area was a neighborhood of nightclubs known as "The Coast". It was a center of jazz and a red-light district or "tenderloin" formally called the Barbary Coast, after San Francisco's neighborhood. The area is now home to the City Without Walls gallery (cWOW), Symphony Hall and the Theater Cafe (which has performances by the African Globe Theatre Works).
Today, with Newark's redevelopment plans the district is being revitalized as The Lincoln Park/Coast Cultural District (LPCCD). LPCCD has just launched GreenCAP, a new green collar job training program for Newark residents, specifically targeted at at-risk youth, parolees, and veterans. GreenCAP is a certification program that trains 100 workers annually in green collar trades like LEED construction, home insulation, and solar panel installation. GreenCAP is a collaboration between LPCCD, Mayor Cory Booker's office, and Van Jones' Green for All.
The center of development for the LPCCD area is the Museum of African American Music (MoAAM), just as NJPAC was considered the center or the start of Downtown's redevelopment. The museum and much of the surrounding development is being designed by RMJM Hillier Architects, who are also designing the renovations and addition to the Newark Public Library.[1]
Newark in the past has been a large producer of gospel music and continues to produce well-known black artists. The Coast is being redeveloped to pay homage and recreate on a small scale an area with deep roots in African American music. The museum will be a collection of archives of "jazz, blues, spirituals, hip-hop, rock 'n'roll, gospel, house music, and rhythm and blues". Help for the construction of the museum and the surrounding redevelopment is coming from the Smithsonian Institution, which has been working with the city. An "Arts Park" is also in the planning stages in addition to new housing, stores, a restaurant, nightclub, music studio and dance studio. In early plans for a third Newark Light Rail segment (connecting Penn Station and Newark Liberty), a stop was proposed for Lincoln Park/Symphony Hall on Mulberry Street and Camp Street.

Turtle Back Zoo, located in West Orange, New Jersey, is a zoo in New Jersey. Situated on 18 acres (73,000 m2) of land in South Mountain Reservation, it is part of the Essex County Park System, the oldest county park system in the United States. Founded in 1963, the zoo was originally a showcase for animals indigenous to New Jersey, but currently features species from every continent except Antarctica. Located adjacent to the Richard J. Codey Arena, practice home of the New Jersey Devils. The zoo is open year-round, recording over 340,000 visitors in 2007.
Recent additions to the zoo include Filipino "golden mantled" flying foxes, making Turtle Back the first zoo in the country to show this species of bat; an American Black Bear exhibit; the Essex Farm, which holds common farm animals and includes a petting zoo; and an animal-themed playground. Its most notable new feature is a $4.6 million reptile house and education center, the zoo's first indoor exhibit, which opened in June, 2006. The center contains a pair of nine-foot-long "black dragons", a species of monitor lizard which was discovered in Malaysia in 2005 and has yet to receive a scientific name. The lizards at Turtle Back are believed to be the only "black dragons" on display in the world.
On September 26, 2006, The Star-Ledger reported that Turtle Back Zoo earned accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which makes the zoo eligible to participate in animal exchanges with other AZA members, and to receive state and federal funding. This is a far cry from a decade earlier, when the zoo was in a dilapidated state; Turtle Back was almost shut down in 1995, but millions of dollars in grants were used on improvements to assure that the zoo would remain open. Since 2003, Turtle Back has received approximately $20 million in funding.
Two nearby universities, Montclair State University and Kean University, have provided funding for the acquisition and upkeep of animals (a Red-tailed Hawk and Cougars, respectively) which became the official mascots for each of the schools.
On November 2, 2009, the Turtle Back Zoo broke an attendance record with over 420,277 tickets sold since the beginning of the year.
