Quick Guide to New Brunswick
Home of Rutgers University, New Brunswick lies on the southern bank of the Raritan River. The city is known for its ethnic diversity, and the city is known for its various museums, theaters, and music concerts.
New Brunswick is the site of theZimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University (founded in 1966),Albus Cavus, and the Rutgers University Geology Museum (founded in 1872). While many don't think of it as a cultutural hub, the Crossroads Theatre won the prestigious Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre in 1999. Crossroads is the first African American theater to receive this honor in the 33-year history of this special award category.
Fancy a bite to eat? Try one of New Brunswick's "fat sandwiches" - sub rolls containing several ingredients such as steak, chicken fingers, French fries, falafel, cheeseburgers, mozzarella sticks, gyro meat, bacon, eggs and marinara sauce. The "grease trucks" selling these delicacises are scattered throughout the Rutgers campus.
