Narrative:
Doing the stadium visual for the first time at night as assigned by approach; runway 29 into ewr; winds were 310/16g25; fully configured by gimee. I was having difficulty identifying points after the stadium; specifically the cemetery; [and] we flew into the wake of the 737 that landed before us; causing a loss in altitude and an obstacle announcement. We corrected; added power; turned over the railway; climbed and then landed without any further [issues]. There were no queries from ATC at any time during the event. There were other aircraft requesting ILS 22L; but because we had already briefed the approach and programmed it into the box I did not want to change the approach during a critical phase of flight. In hindsight I should have requested the ILS into 22L and dealt with x-wind when approach originally advised us of the stadium vis approach. I am quite familiar with this; I do it often and it would have been comfortable.
