Robinson Plantation House
From the website: "Listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, the Dr. William Robinson plantation is a rare example of late 17th century frame construction."
Try the Red panang curry in coconut milk (Vegetarian version available). When the chirpy waitress warns you that the spicy version might be too much for you, it is to be taken as friendly advice, not as a challenge to prove her wrong. Settle for the medium version. $7-$9 for the main course.
Italian joint. Also has a bar.
Ordinary Chinese takeout with okay food at reasonable prices. $3 for the main course.
Irish pub and restaurant. The place is crowded in the evenings with yuppies.
Pretty much the only hotel in Clark.
By car
Clark lies on Exit 135 of the Garden State Parkway.
By bus
NJ Transit runs a solitary bus service to Clark, the bus number 112 starting from the terminal in New York. Of course, transfers are available. Use their trip planner to plan your commute.

The nearest railroad station is Garwood on the Raritan valley line, which goes both to the Newark Penn station and the New York Penn station.
The city may be small, but it is not small enough to be covered on foot. You can rent a car from Rahway. If you plan to walk it, some places away from the shopping areas can be lonely at night.
