It doesn't have the very high end stores that you'll find at Short Hills, but I usually b-line for the Nordstroms. Parking is plentiful and easy, stores are clean and organized, they have an AMC Dine-In movie theater. And I really have never seen it too packed! All in all a good mall and a good place for window shopping, actual shopping and all other shopping days.

Dogs must be leashed, and of course, be respectful of merchandise and be sure to take your pup outside for bathroom breaks. The mall is small enough to easily go outside to the parking lot. Individual stores have their own policies, so check with a staff member before you go in. We stopped by to get lunch and enjoyed the outdoor patios of both The Twisted Crab and Bar Louie. We popped into GameStop, Bath & Body Works, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, and Panera Bread has an outdoor patio for the pups! In addition to shopping at some great stores and eating at some nice restaurants, you can use the mall as a convenient place to take your dog for an indoor walk. The mall hosts events too, so take a look at their website/social media for current happenings.

Macys and JCPenney are magically still around as the anchors. There are some stores, but nothing really to keep you coming back here. I mean, unless Express Factory Store is your forte. I'm not sure what will save the mall at this point, but it seems like some restaurants are keeping afloat here. There's a Panera, a Bar Louie, a Barnes and Noble, Red Robin..... The location is kinda tough. Just a lot of traffic, so it's a bit of a pain for someone like me to get there. In the same amount of time I spend on Route 18, I could easily be at Menlo Park Pall or even Quaker Bridge Mall.

This is a nice large mall in East Brunswick. However, there isn't anything for me here that I could…read moreshop at. The only places that I could shop here besides DSW,PetSmart, and ShopRite, Best Buy. There's also GameStop, but I don't play video games. Plus, we already have one in Brunswick Square. Mostly everything else is stuff for women. There's a lot of massage places and nail salons. I ain't no makeup artist. They have a few Asian places here as well. None that I have tried. I prefer the Summerhill Square mall more. More stores for me.

I always find one or two hidden gems in here. They're always slow at the register and the floor is often pretty dusty or sprinkled with glitter that gets on the bottom of some of the merchandise.. but as I said, this should be viewed as a "I just need something cute, cheap, and/or last minute" type of spot.

I really agree with the comment below - Finale does not carry the same products as H&M and…read moreForever21 BUT they do carry seasonal fashion trends. Certainly not the best quality. I do not recommend purchasing ALL of your clothing here. After wearing the clothes for a few times, the fit definitely changes: often for the worse! But it's a great place to get something that will likely only be in-season for a little while or to get something for ONE particular night. As a matter of fact, I'll be purchasing my New Year's outfit there! Plenty of sparkly goodness going on right now. Please note, while I did give it 4 Stars - these stars must be taken with a grain of salt. It is certainly a 4-star cheapie store. If I were comparing it to my favorite stores, it would not rank so high. But as far as cheap thrills go, this place is great. Also, the sizes do run small. But that doesn't mean you won't find something that fits. You need to look around!
