Stay at Marbella

Trip to Newyork

This is the third official trip in eight months. Now I am going to New york (NY) on a two week assignment. As Nimisha and Aryan have never been to NY so they too joined me on the trip. We started our journey on 4th March through Amtrak train from Baltimore to Newark (NJ) penn station. It was two hour journey and Aryan kept us busy through out the trip and by the time we completed our snacks we almost reached Newark. Then we caught a NJ subway to Grove street and then boarded PATH from Grove Street to Newport/Pavonia.

Newport/Pavonia station

I can see ray of smile on Nimisha's face after leaving Baltimore. As soon as we got down from the train we saw a billboard having Shahrukh Khan advertisement of KBC3. Though sunday but subway was crowded and crowds of people moving here and there and this reminded me of early days in Mumbai.

Marbella Apartment

We had out guest house accommodation in Marbella apartment, a 40 storey high rise luxury apartment. The apartment was 5 min. walk from Newport station and was located on Jersey's city Hudson river waterfront. We had got apartment on 27th floor and what a wonderful view, whole NY city was clearly visible and gave a good landscape view of Manhattan. The apartment had all luxuries of party room, business center, conference room, swimming pool (closed in winter) and there was bus in morning which used to take us to Newport station. Though station was nearby but it was too cold and windy to venture out.

Newport Mall in night

Newport is located at wonderful location and have numerous malls (Shoprite, JC Penny, MACY, Target and Newport Centre Mall) for shopping. Newport centre mall has lot of good shops, movie theatre and food court and we spended good time over there. With good location comes the price, this is too expensive to live with rentals from our pocket.

I had a pleasant stay in Marbella apartment and I hope, I come back again and may be on 40th floor to have better view of NY city.
