    Rashid Johnson's Glass Mural Detail VIew at glass technique in Brookfield Place Plaza

    I've been coming to Brookfield for years with my kids. The largess of it all is unmistakably New York. My favorite are second floor seating spaces with stunning views of the harbour. Public art is unintrusive but formidable. Great for chilling any season.

    The bathroom in the cafeteria is the cleanest public restroom I have ever been in my whole life. There is rarely any mess in each stall. They are all clean. I also love the liquid soap the dispenser dispenses. The restrooms on the first floor are quite different than the second floor. There is foam soap coming out of the dispensers. Also the lighting is very dimmed. Not enough lighting. This mall has a lot of marble tables all around and comfortable leather couches to relax. There are many nice shops to check out although all of them are high end.

    Because of CANstruction, learned about Brookfield Place more than a decade ago (at least). That time, there was no underground walkway to the Oculus bec the Oculus wasn't even built yet :) Now, it is so convenient to get to and from the subway and Path trains, without worrying about the weather outside. Aside from shopping, food hall/restaurants, from inside Brookfield Place, can see nice views of outdoors and the river. Have taken photos of the cityscape, a distant view of the Statue of Liberty, the sunset on the river from the marina area. Lots of restrooms.

    Dropped by here a couple weeks ago when I was in the area, hadn't been inside for a couple years so decided to check out what was new. The convenient part about getting here is that you can walk underground from the Oculus and take escalators that bring you directly into the first floor of the mall, which means it's also fairly conveniently located to catch public transportation to locations within Manhattan or to Jersey via the PATH or ferry that stops a couple blocks north along the Hudson. The mall itself looks the same, some stores have swapped out for others, overall well-maintained and clean which seems to be a standard for most Westfield properties, and still filled with high-end stores with a handful of less expensive stores mixed in. What struck me was how many stores were empty, especially on the side wings, clearly more mainstream retailers aren't drawn to this location for a reason--probably due to this mall's location along the water so far downtown--you're here basically if you live or work in the area, are a tourist or taking friends here from out-of-town. However what they do well is provide a nice space for the average person to enjoy the AC, the waterfront view, and enjoy a casual meal. While there never seems to be many people actually shopping in this mall, the food court is decently occupied during meal hours and there is never a shortage of seating. A sprinkling of coffee shops/cafes (Tartinery, Mah-za-dahr, Daily Provisions) and the Hudson Eats food court, as well as the mall-adjacent restaurants and bars along the water draw the most visitors. Options at Hudson Eats include Chopt Salads, Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar, Blackseed Bagels, Springbone Kitchen, All'Antico Vinaio, Dos Toros Taqueria, Dig, Naya, Earthbar, Carrot Express, Milu, Mighty Quinn's BBQ. On a sunny Friday afternoon almost all the outdoor seating along the water was taken, and there's a lot--enough to seat several hundred people. Plenty of company happy hours going on at Le District and PJ Clarke's next door. It's nice to walk along the waterfront in the evening, the sun can be a bit strong in the summer but the sunsets are beautiful.

    On my visit to lower manhattan i pass this location, it got my attention from the pier. So I made it one of my stuff after I got off the ferry coming from Jersey city, New Jersey. It's amazing. I did not buy anything just walk it and explore the different stores. Next time that I'm in the area, I think I'm gonna spend a little bit more time.. There is a path to the oculus underground and to the path train and other NYC metro.

    Very disappointed. Overpriced even by NY standards and most if not all the food options are either poke like bowl options or gourmet pastries and coffees. Feels a tad yuppie like. An east pass.

    Brookfield Place is a very nice mall with high end stores and a nice food court with many options. There are lots of coffee shops as well and is located right by the freedom tower and the Hudson River!

    Wow I didn't know they had a mall in Manhattan! There was so many high name brands in there and the big opening of the palm trees with high ceilings made it feel like paradise! Stumbled upon this place because they had a can-struction display which will be shown to the public for a short time. It's amazing how they used all different colored cans to make amazing art! You gotta see for yourself to believe it!

    Holidays in NYC are second to none. So much beauty to behold! Usually in the form of lights. Brookfield Place's Luminaries light display was no exception. Rainbows of color that you can control with a motion sensor box. So creative! This mall is on the newer side, but it's gorgeous. Lots of events and good things to eat. During December they had a cocktail happy hour, Santa, shopping specials and ice skating. I'm sure there was plenty more going on, but I was satisfied exploring stores, le district food court and the outdoor waterfront for a few hours. There's a direct tunnel under the roads to the world trade center and subways so you never have to go outside if the weather is harsh. Hang out in the lovely atrium stairs as long as you like. Brookfield does a great job all year round, but this time of year is extra special.

    Have come to Brookfield many times since it opened many years ago. I like how it isn't too packed and you have a lot you can do. Whether you want to shop or eat at the food court upstairs or just lounge around on the staircase. The food court vendors are more high-end than normal food court spots. I've tried Springbone (clean broth) to Blue Ribbon (high-quality sushi). Everything is good, but expect to spend a pretty dollar here. The bathrooms are upstairs and are clean and spacious. The seating is large and comfortable.

    Is there some kind of food court seating situation, if so where and are reservations required?

    No reservation required. It's first come first serve but at reduced capacity due to COVID. You just need to check in at the seating area where they take your temperature etc.… 

    Do you have to book the ice skating tickets ahead of time or can you buy it there?

    You can get tickets there but it is best to book ahead of time as the time slots are fixed as 1 hour sessions starting at the beginning of each hour.

There are also a number of buses that stop in the vicinity. Walking inside from street level, what you immediately notice is the very tall atrium the extends upward a couple stories to a wide, slightly domed sky light that provides some picturesque streams of light to illuminate the inside of building, depending on the time of day. There are stairs that wind around a column where you can ascend to get a closer view of the ceiling structure, and a birdseye view of the open floors below. Of course as with most NYC subway stations with more than a couple lines criss-crossing, make sure you're reading the signs that direct you to the correct lines headed uptown or downtown. To the uninitiated it can be confusing. As for stores inside, to name a few there's Shake Shack, Chik-fil-A, Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, Gong Cha, a couple Irish pubs, Gateway Newsstand, a wine/liquor store, a barber shop, Duane Reade, Auntie Annie's Pretzels, a florist. Generally speaking this station is on the cleaner side compared to most.

There are only three feet across with some stalls while other vendors have a lot of space. The winter hat, cool decor, jewelry are always the top of the shopping list. Check the opening time which is at 11 am on some days and not all stalls are open immediately at 11 am but most of them are. There are always food items too but those areas can get very crowded. I recommend going earlier in December when there is good selection left. The service and welcome of the staff was really good this year. The value and price point is solid with many different type of high and low end items available. Bryant Park may have a little more space for shopping but Union square sometimes has different vendors. The urban spaces organizers do a good job across the space. Enjoy the holiday shopping. One commentary on 2025 visit because we go every year, I saw fewer people in some stalls. I am not sure if there is an economic impact for some people or that there are less international or domestic tourists but there may be some impacts. I remember that it has been more packed in the past since I was there on Black Friday which is normally the peak shopping time.
