The only perfect day in Newark is the day you leave. That applies to Newark California, too.

Haven't read the article yet, but surely there's something redeeming to see and do in Newark, right? I mean, once you get the heck out of the airport...

Well, the info might come in handy if all the bridges and tunnels into Manhattan are shut down, and boats/helicopters are not available, and if it’s too cold to swim across the Hudson.

I saw that last weekend (3/2 and 3/3) and had to read it. They may have been scraping the barrel but it was rather interesting.
Scranton PA, Mobile AL and (keeping it global) Slough UK anyone?

I really hope they feature this classy hotel, which I am somewhat ashamed to admit I've stayed at. Hotel Riviera
It's a great place, rooms by the hour, 3 hour, and per night! Located at the corner of Clinton and JFK, IIRC.

Haven’t read the article yet, but if you do find yourself in Newark for the evening .... some of the finest Portuguese food anywhere (at least outside Portugal) is in the Ironbound section of Newark. Some great rodizio too - try Fernandes Steakhouse for an amazing meal.
If you want a delicious summertime treat, take an Uber to DiCosmo’s Italian Ice Elizabeth. On a hot summer day, there’s no better snack. Owned and run by the same family for over 100 years now. The very definition of making lemonade (or, lemon ice) from lemons.
Tasty stuff. Seriously. Plenty of goodness to be found.
