Summary: It was July 12, 1967, when riots erupted in Newark, New Jersey, scarring that city for decades. But the city says it’s coming back, and it’s even launched a tourism campaign. In this episode of “Get Outta Here,” AP Travel Editor Beth Harpaz talks with Lauren Craig, the “glambassador” of Newark, about the guidebook she’s written for Newark visitors called “100 Things to Do in Newark Before You Die.” We’ll hear about some of her favorite things to do, including the arts, dining and shopping. We’ll explain how easy it is to get to Newark from Manhattan, and we’ll talk about the city past and present.
