138east Posted December 30, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2012 There's absolutely nothing within walking distance of the Doubletree except the Ramada next door. Come post your question on the East Coast board. You could take the #40 bus which stops on Frontage Road near the hotel and go into downtown Newark to find a liquor store or you could take a cab. How early are you arriving at EWR and what day of the week? Will you need to eat dinner? Newark is very urban and I wouldn't recommend just wandering around at night without a specific destination. You could combine a liquor run with dinner in Newark's Ironbound District. How are you getting to Cape Liberty? There is a liquor store outside the entrance to the port. On Sundays it does not open until noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to stop to fill the rum runners while heading to the pier. I think I've read your posts before about Newark so is there a hotel with airport pick up that has stores and shops close by (liquor) --- that i wouldn't fear for my life going to?

megr1125 Posted December 30, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2012 there are NO stores within walking distance of ANY hotel in the EWR area....your best bet is to try and get to the one near the pier.......but you want to fill rum runners so that may not be practical....

138east Posted December 30, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Sounds like your only choice is to bring a well wrapped bottle in a sealed plastic bag in your checked luggage. You can fill it when you get to the Doubletree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fill it when you get to the Doubletree. i'm thinking like your thinking. throw out some of the wife's shoes-- and replace with vodka bottles.
