Film on Newark architecture being shown at Newark Museum

September 22, 2009 through January 10, 2010

As part of its year-long Centennial celebration, the Newark Museum has commissioned the award-winning, Newark-based filmmakers Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno and Jerome Bongiorno to create a film about Newark.

Shot in black-and-white and filmed in 3D, the film—presented as a large-scale projection in the darkened space of the Museum’s South gallery—is a moving and immersive experience that provides visitors with a feeling of actually being in the places depicted. Many areas documented in the film, like Military Park or the grand Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, may be familiar, but the unusual vantage points and camera angles employed provide a new experience of these landmarks. The Bongiornos have also highlighted “hidden gems” within the city, sites that many visitors and even residents may not know exist.

Eating and Dining at NJIT

Hey! Here's what's new for eating on campus:

• The Trattoria (pizza place) has been refurnished by GDS with additional seating, booths, new tables and chairs, and a glass enclosed front.
  
• A “hydration station” has been added to the continuous dining venue.
  
• The cost of wine, beer, and liquor ordered through GDS catering services has been reduced by about 50%.
  
• All on-campus catering can be done only by GDS in order to comply with the requirements of our food services contract, New Jersey Alcohol and Beverage Commission, and the need for timely clean-up and maintenance of NJIT facilities.
  
• Access to the University Club is restricted only to members and their guests. This is a requirement of the license issued to NJIT by the New Jersey Alcohol and Beverage Commission. Effective September 14, 2009, no order can be made in the Club without the four digit number of the club member. Membership can be secured for an annual fee of $25 by logging on to http://universityclub.njit.edu.
