Marketfair Mall in Princeton feels like a small miracle of survival in the digital age, a place…read morethat is neither packed to the rafters nor echoingly abandoned like so many malls that have gone gently into that good night. It is comfortably alive, which is more than can be said for much of modern retail. The Barnes and Noble alone is reason enough to show up. It is a proper bookstore where you can wander, browse, and briefly pretend the internet isn't actively murdering print media. I also enjoy the little AMC theater, which is perfectly fine as long as you are seeing a movie that does not demand the thunder and spectacle of IMAX. Sometimes a modest screen, a bag of popcorn and a plush recliner are more than enough. The place is rarely crowded, which makes errands feel less like combat and more like a calm agreement between shoppers and time itself. That said, I am hoping something interesting eventually replaces the recently shuttered Bahama Breeze. The space feels like it wants to be fed a new idea. Time will tell whether that happens. Four stars for being pleasant, functional, and quietly resisting extinction. In this era, that feels like an accomplishment.

Nice mall we stopped at during one of our trips. I purchase some clothes and all, so did my girl…read more Lots of decent sales and prices we bumped into without even searching or looking . Food courts have lots of good spots to eat at, and get your grub on. Id visit again.

I used to go to this mall plenty of times in the past when I still lived in New Jersey. However, as…read morethe years have gone on the mall has degraded over time for most of the same reasons as to why many malls today are going out. The stores are all going out due to too much online shopping, as well as shoplifting, and of course the variety of stores shrinking over time. The mall used to have a much better variety of stores in the past from a toy store, a Wendy's, a Chick-fil A, and many other stores that are no longer a part of it. The mall today is almost completely barren and empty with little to no surviving stores left which is sad. Sure it has been modernized and renovated over the years to help give it a more modern feel, but it is only a matter of time before it is completely gone and torn down to make room for another warehouse. The only good thing about it now is the food court selection is slightly better than in the past and all the food places are all in the same vicinity not scattered like it used to be. But in the end, the stores now don't offer the same quality or value of products you would get in the past when there were much better stores to choose from.

The Quaker Bridge Mall is a monument to late-stage capitalism wrapped in beige tiles and…read moreexistential dread. It is neither quaking, nor bridged, nor particularly Quaker, though I did feel a strange spiritual calm while waiting in line at Auntie Anne's, watching dough be twisted into symbols of carbohydrate comfort. Inside, time folds in on itself like a pair of clearance khakis. There are stores selling perfume, gadgets, jeans tight enough to restrict original thought. There's a Cheesecake Factory, which exists on the same moral plane as purgatory: vast, overlit, and full of folks trying to remember what it was they came in for. The mall is clean. The ceilings are high. The escalators move up and down like Sisyphus with a corporate sponsor. No one seems to know why they're there, but they are, floating from JC Penney to Old Navy in a retail daze. The air smells faintly of artificial scents and unspoken longing. There's something poetic about a mall in the 21st century. A living fossil. A place where you can still see teenagers in small herds, clutching bubble tea and dreams. Where old men power-walk past Forever 21, defiant in orthopedic sneakers. Where the Apple Store shines like a sterile shrine to tech-assisted distraction. Three stars. Not because it's bad; it's not. It is precisely what it claims to be: a mall. A decent one. One with enough stores to feel like you might find something, even if you don't know what you're looking for. It would get four stars if it had a decent bookstore. It would get five if it could answer why I felt slightly lonelier when I left than when I arrived.

Princeton Shopping Center is a sprawling outdoor pedestrian mall in an otherwise quiet residential…read moreneighborhood featuring a potpourri of unique upscale shops, interesting restaurants and cut-above chain eateries. The trouble is that I never think of it, especially in the winter when I would rather not be strolling their retail promenade in an icy gale. Too bad, because there's a lot to like here. Somewhere, Jeff Bezos must be laughing uncontrollably as he twists his imaginary handlebar mustache with diabolic glee. As for myself, I'm just going to hit enter to complete my order and grab some hot chocolate.

This shopping center has some great stores but the potholes are a HUGE issue... see what I did…read morethere!? Bring your all-terrain tires to find a spot to park in this complex or the potholes might swallow your car. If you want to kill 2 birds with one stone go to mccaffreys and buy lettuce, tomatoe, oil, and vinegar, throw it in your back seat, run over some potholes and viola- you've got yourself a tossed salad. My "old person" Subaru has a kick-butt suspension system (I know because I'm able to go over a speed bump at 30 mph without feeling a thing) but I don't dare attempt to fall into one of the craters at this shopping center; the potholes here are continuing to evolve into bottomless craters that want to destroy your car. Don't let this happen! Practice weaving at home before you come into this shopping center; put valuable items around your car to practice. If you haven't killed any of your favorite items then you're ready for level 10, The Princeton Shopping Center.

I like the stores (Nordstrom/REI) but the layout of this mall must have been designed by a maniac…read more Parking is a Mad Max Death scrum as there are far fewer spots for the number of stores and restaurants available. Banks, supermarkets and car dealers, including the sainted Tesla and the obligatory Starbucks share a common lot and the result is Bedlam with a much higher than average incidence of fender benders (and worse.) I avoid the Mercer Mall like tainted meat, shop at your own risk. Two stars for the adrenaline rush.

It used to be low budget with the likes of TJ Maxx, Ross and Drug Emporium, but the new millennium saw infrastructure investment and a new wave of more upscale retail. Now, along with Maxx and Ross you find 47 stores from Bed Bath & Beyond, to REI, Massage Envy and Nordstrom Rack, and decent chain restaurants from Outback, Bonefish, Hooters and Olive Garden. AT&T and Verizon push their phone and internet plans and Starbucks brews its shlock java within walking distance of each other. I find myself here a few times a year when in need of basic garments and shoes (DSW). Don't mind saving shekels when it makes sense. Too, with the improved dining options, hanging around for lunch or dinner and a drink can be convenient and fun. Yeah, you can also pick out furniture at Raymour & Flanigan and stock up on groceries at Shop Rite, if the weather is cold enough to leave the milk in the car until you get back home to Pennsylvania. They just put in a Zoe's Kitchen, so you can get your healthy Mediterranean freak on. Mercer Mall seems to be making all the right moves.

Who needs Xbox when you can cheat death in real time in a three ton SUV. What makes this monstrosity such a thrill ride is the endless bottlenecks and weird parking configurations. The nexis between PetSmart and Home Goods is particularly adept at promoting vehicular homicide. And if the gridlock isn't bad enough please avail yourself of the free charging stations placed inexplicably closest to the anchors. What a mess.

This is the largest shopping center I've been to, and while they do have good stores, it's almost overwhelming how it's set up. For example, you have Target and Michaels on one corner. Drive a little bit to another side, and you have Dollar Tree, Sally Beauty on another corner. Drive to a third corner, and you go to Five Below PetSmart, HomeGoods. Drive more to another corner, and you get the idea. The stores are in all different parts, that you have to drive around to get from one store to the other. You cannot walk, unless if you want to take over your life, and cross US-1. Great stores. Not great layout.
