Came to this mall during the winter holiday season and all the bushes got lights in them. They are…read morevery nice. All the stores are lined up outside with bushes all around you. Parking is impossible here because of the limited parking spots by each store. Got to wait for another car to leave and see if any car is fighting for the same spot and then you go berserk! Not much going on here. There is a limited option of stores in this mall that I go to. Wish there were more stores of my type!

Once upon a time, there was a place called Nanuet Mall, which survived 54 years (1969 - 2012) and…read morehas been changed since 2013 and renamed The Shops at Nanuet. I wish I visited that mall, but thank goodness for old photos and memories. The facility looks very nice with many high-end and upscale stores, which you'll find in other outdoor malls as well. Most of the stores I saw outside have a great variety to choose from, with so much to offer. Although that may be true, some of the upscale stuff may not be eye-appealing to some, but everyone's taste is different. There are a couple of retail stores that ring a bell, such as Gap, At Home Furniture, Loft, Bath & Bath Body Works, and Stop & Shop. While exploring, they also provide entertainment, and also dining as an alternative of a number to pick. It's easy to get around, and a map is provided in different areas of the place, which is not hard to miss. In its condition, I see The Shops thriving in the years to come. I wouldn't consider it the place of returning to any time soon due to how far I am, and also my interests in terms of stores. On the flip slide, the changes that occur are what draw my attention, and will be back to observe for that purpose (along with other Shops and Malls). It's clean and kept up very well, and that's what matters. Link to my memory review: https://www.yelp.com/biz/simon-mall-nanuet

This particular plaza has a bunch of small based retail stores, TJ Maxx, Macy's, Burlington,…read moreShopRite, DSW, Michaels, Old Navy, Petco, JCrew, ShopRite, etc though I noticed that there isn't a Laundromat in the area, and I think it's very convenient to have, because we already have a bit too much retail stores already so I think the Laundromat would be a great added feature, just a thought...

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Verrrry spacious mall with LOTS of stores and most of the large retailers (e.g., Macys, Lord and Taylor, connected to a Target) - 3rd largest mall in NY. + Huge food court and lots of GOOD restaurants spread all around (e.g., Yard House, Picanha Brazilian Steakhouse, Red Crab Juicy Seafood & Bar, Gyuzo Japanese BBQ) + PLENTY of parking spaces outside and a garage. THE NOT SO GOOD ----------------------------- - The mall is definitely showing its age with cracks on the floor, ripped up leather on the cushioned benches and dated infrastructure. - Food court consists mostly of fast food vendors you can find outside (e.g., Wendys, Taco Bell, Burger King, Nathan's). MIXED THOUGHTS ---------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Was as busy as any mall on a Saturday afternoon, but, aesthetically it's no competition with the shinier Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall and American Dream Mall.

This used to be a higher end, upscale mall. It's now a bit run down, but not terrible. It still has…read morelots of big box stores, but also small boutiques and pop ups. For example, there is an entire storefront devoted to claw machines. There is another store called "mystery bins" that has a random assortment of items that kind of look like they fell off a truck. There is a rope obstacle course for kids on the upper floors of the mall. Cool concept, but a little off putting that things could fall from above on to shoppers on the lower levels. Overall, it's a decent mall, but it has lost some of its luster over the years.

The plaza is split into threee separate sections. There are plenty of parking spots all around the plaza. It provides great value to locals as they can buy food, drinks, and some the services from here. The plaza is mostly clean and well paved. Easy to drive between parking lots. There are multiple entrances. Couple of store locations are unoccupied that have odd appearance. But overall it is very popular among the locals.
