New Jersey 'Jersey Gardens Shopping Mall'

[spiritofscouse]

My wife wants to spend a day in shopping mall whilst we are in NYC/Union City NJ.

I found Jersey Gaardens, how is it and most of all what about the prices? Are the prices like factory outlets?

I have never been there but I live nearby. I can tell you what I have heard from people who have shopped in the mall. It is a large mall with discounted prices on the items. It is like your typical outlet shopping. Ther are no great bargains but if you like to shop it is cheaper than your usual mall.

[spiritofscouse]

do you know of any malls in the area which are cheaper?

[gigsjh]

No that is the only outlet mall I know in the area.

Hhey, i've been to the Jersey Gardens Mall. It's a pretty good mall. Probably the only decent thing in the area

Jersey Gardens is an interesting mall. It's BIG. I get tired walking it.

 

The high end stuff can be good bargains. I got a $400 pair of boots for $75. The average stuff is about the same price everywhere. My favorite stores in the mall are Off 5th (saks fifth avenue's outlet) and Last Call (neiman marcus's outlet). Other than those two you'll find your typical outlet stores: reebok, van husen, group usa, mikasa etc. I think the mall is in an Enterprise Zone so sales tax is only 3% & there's no sales tax on clothes in NJ.

 

The short hills mall, in the town where it takes it's name about 35 minutes from the port out Route 78 west, is one of the most lavish malls in NJ. There are no discounts here but you will find a convenient climate controlled place with no sales tax to buy from all the stores with locations on Madison and 5th Avenues in NYC. If you spend enough, $2,000, I think you can get a "free" limo.

The outlets in near by Seacus.(not spelled right) Are they still there?

They are still there. The designer "mall" there has more upscale stuff than Jersey Gardens.
