If there's one thing we're going to do when we go to Garden State Plaza, it's make our two…read moremandatory stops: Macy's for him and AKIRA for me! AKIRA has become one of my favorite stores because I can always find something unique to add to my wardrobe, those pieces that are just a little different and make an outfit stand out. And while I'm doing my thing at AKIRA, my husband can always count on Macy's to find something new for his wardrobe too. So basically... we both leave with a bag, we're both happy, and everybody wins. And we're frugal shoppers. So safe to say we always get a good sale. At this point, a Garden State Plaza trip just isn't complete without these two stops! And of course you gotta feed the belly so this particular trip we went to Carlitos and got our taco fix and you can't go wrong with tacos, especially at Carlitos. They're always so friendly and accommodating.

I'm not sure if I've ever been to this mall before, but today it is absolutely packed with people…read moreeverywhere--in the corridors, inside the restaurants, and in the shops. I don't know if it's because of the Soccer World Cup 2026, the fact that it's Saturday afternoon, or the sweltering heat, but it is incredibly crowded. I came straight here after work to check it out because I have movie tickets for the cinema located inside. I arrived a bit too early, so I'm going to walk around and explore the place, and I'll let you know what I think later. The air conditioning is holding up well against the massive crowd. I'll share my thoughts on the other places I visit later on. I can see a variety of spots here, though--places like "Carlitos BBQ taqueria", as well as coffee shops, pretzel stands, dessert spots, a Macy's, ramen restaurants, and more.

Will be using them for future events, for sure.

We went…read morethere to see David Hamburger, an American fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter based in Austin, TX . His acoustic blues set was part of the library's Sunday Session Concerts series. We were pleasantly surprised to see a large audience gather that day at a library. Also, the room where the performance took place was really nice and the sound was good there - impressive for a library. I looked at their website a few days prior to the performance and saw that there's a lot of great programming at PPL. Paramus has a really nice public library - what a great resource for the community!

While many buses were waiting in the stadium parking lot after the concert, the method they used (was there one?) to load the buses moved at a glacial pace.
