Lowest Priced Flights to Newark (EWR) on Alaska Airlines starting at $215*

Newark, New Jersey is home to more than just an airport conveniently located near New York City. Look beyond that and discover a fascinating history and city. Founded in 1666 by a group of Connecticut Puritans, Newark's name was originally a reference to the Biblical Ark of the Covenant. Though it has seen trouble in the past, the Newark of today is experiencing a renaissance as it finds its footing as a city diverse in culture and purpose. Groove to the sounds of a ‘70s icon; listen to an NPR correspondent wax philosophic; let a world-renowned symphony serenade you - or do all three at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Tour the impressively curated Newark Museum, which includes one of America's largest and most diverse collections of Tibetan Art. Walk through the museum's beautifully restored Ballantine House and see how one of Newark's high society families lived during the Victorian era. Wander the Ironbound neighborhood, where Portuguese restaurants and shops abound.
