I see that starting around 2 minutes, but before that also?

Slowly piecing some of this together. The building at 0:57 is now 611 McCarter Highway. That's as far as I've gotten. (I should stop this and get to work, in fact!)
Need to spend much more time with this wonderful video. Thanks for posting!
Edit: Same building again at 2:34. Green area at 3:45 is now Raymond A. Brown Park. With the clear views of downtown, the location and direction is more obvious at this point.

At 3:00 you're passing the PATH trains. They parked them back then the same way they Park them now. Back then of course, they were known as the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad or ask more affectionately known, the tubes a commuter service provided by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Awesome video! Damn- Newark seems more dense and lively 80 years ago.
