Newark Audio Tour: History, Arts & Legends of Downtown Landmarks

Audio guide11 stops

A tempest once raged outside the Prudential Center while deals that shaped New Jersey’s fate happened quietly within. Traces of that wild energy still flicker through these streets and echo inside the halls most visitors rush by. Set off on a self-guided audio tour through Downtown Newark and discover secrets woven into the city’s heartbeat. Move beyond the obvious to uncover hidden art, courtroom drama, and a battle-scarred history few locals ever mention. When the New Jersey Performing Arts Center opened, what rivalries simmered backstage and spilled into city politics? Why did a historic legal scandal at Seton Hall School of Law briefly stop the presses across the Northeast? Which anonymous mural on a quiet block holds a clue to a vanished rebellion? Follow winding streets through soaring lobbies and bygone speakeasies. This journey pulses with discovery and reveals Newark as a city of transformation where the past crackles just beneath your sneakers. Dive in and let Newark’s hidden storms shape your next adventure.
