The bright star doesn't twinkle, so I'm thinkin it's a planet. I understand Mars is the closest it's going to be in a long time. So it's Mars , right??

There are no planets visible in the NE, so no, it wasn't Mars. If you were looking mid to late evening it was probably Capella.

Helps if you give time and location.
Object is most likely Venus if you are referring to just before dawn.
Mars is noticeably red, rises around midnight and is nowhere near as close as it was in August 2003.

The REALLY bright one in the morning is Venus.
