Stumbled across the Empire Outlets as we exited the Staten Island Ferry…read more The oulets are pretty empty with many vacant stores and others running Going Out Of Business Sales. The views on the other hand are wonderful. The EO logo frames the view of NYC so beautifully. Nice to take a seat and enjoy a sunny day. Found a cute shirt and a nice dress for travel in the sale section at Banana Republic. Got some bathing suits at a store that was going out of business. After shopping, pay your respects at the Staten Island September 11th Memorial. Postcards honors and remembers the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. Look through the wings of the giant sculpture. It frames Ground Zero. Never forget.

Weekends are absolutely packed here, but during the week is the best time to go cause you can actually take your time and avoid the hustle and bustle of all the people. Another thing to mention is that a movie theater is right out in the back so if you wanna go check something out in theaters, everything is made very convenient for everyone.

At the very least, you stand a chance at getting decent deals and more bang for your buck! Outlet stores like Adidas, Nike, Coach, etcetera have usually have worthwhile bargains throughout the year, maybe even especially during holiday season. Parking is never scarce, but it still depends on what days/times you go. Not a big fan of their food court, but there is an adjacent movie theater.

It is nice in terms that it is not as crowded when you go to mall or factory outlet so I could shop with ease, less stress and am taking all the time. There are added opened stores in comparison to last visit and that is a good sign. There are sale prices ( 30-50 % off ) on racks for some stores we visited. There are new restaurants that opened now for business. As always, the seasonal decorations are beautiful. The place is well maintained. There are weekly events and entertainment to look forward for each visit. Parking is free. Great location.

The stores here are pretty high end. However, it was nice to walk around before my event at the UBS Arena. Stopped by a few food places on my trip here as well.

ThisBloomies store is a total disaster.. forget about it…read more It is NOT even remotely the quality of any real Bloomingdales we have ever shopped First off Bloomingdale's should know better than to install an abbreviated version of its fine NYC Flagship in this town with such substandard staffing Lackluster, rude service especially by those labeled " managers" ( Sara or Mary Ellen) totally shocked us with the bitter behavior toward their customer More over, this store does NOT represent the fine Bloomingdale's brand as it is known for I suggest no one ever shop here as it simply does not serve our community nor the Grove well Will never step foot in this unwelcoming establishment ever again Total fail !

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.
