Pros: The bus departure location at Newark, DE and arrival site at NYC are very convenient to me. The price is very reasonable. Safe bus driver. Cons: Save the front seat for someone who has motion sickness. By sitting in the front seat, it is not only help the person to decrease the chance to have nausea/vomiting on the bus, but also minimize the impact on the other passengers, and keep the bus clean. Tips: The bus departures on time. I would advise other travelers arriving to the bus station at least 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled departure time, and have the ticket ready for the driver to scan.

Newark

Newark, Delaware, is a small city packed with history and culture.

The Iron Hill School Museum is exactly what it says on the tin: a museum in a historic schoolhouse on Iron Hill. The small building is filled to the brim with natural history exhibits and Native American artifacts. For those too cool for school, swing by the free Mineralogical Museum on the University of Delaware campus for one of the best mineral, crystal, and gem collections in the U.S.

Newark is also known for its excellent dining at places like Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, the Stone Balloon Ale House, or Home Grown Cafe. When you’re ready to work off those meals, visit Glasgow Park Trail, with a basketball court, tennis court, and a general exercise area.
