I am so happy to see Bridgewater Commons coming to life again! I grew up a stone's throw away from…read morethis mall, had many an after school hang out here, had my first date EVER here, had lots of shopping trips here of course... It holds a special place in my heart. The past few years, it felt like a ghost town walking around. There was so many closings, no stores I was excited to go to, it was just not on my radar. But it really does feel like it's having a renaissance! I stopped in last week to make a few returns and was so excited to see so many new stores and a mall full of shoppers. From Pottery Barn, Vera Bradley, Jcrew, a brand new Anthro, and so many other noteworthy shops. I left with a few bags in hand. If you miss your mall shopping days as much as I do, Bridgewater Commons is officially back and worth a visit.

This department store is a solid, reliable stop when shopping at the mall. It has a wide selection…read moreof clothing, shoes, home goods, and accessories, making it easy to knock out multiple shopping needs in one place. The store is generally well-organized, with clear sections and helpful signage, and most items are easy to find without wandering too much. Staff interactions were mostly positive--available when needed without being pushy. Checkout was smooth, and there were decent sales running, which always helps make the visit feel worthwhile. A few areas could use improvement. Some sections felt a bit crowded or outdated, and inventory in certain sizes or styles was hit or miss. During busier times, lines can build up quickly, especially at customer service. Overall, it's a dependable department store that does what it's supposed to do. Not flashy, but convenient, practical, and a good anchor store for the mall.

I always feel like a princess when I walk through the designer wing of the Short Hills Mall…read more There's something delightfully absurd about walking past the chandeliers and perfectly polished floors while pretending I belong there. (In my defense, I am carrying an iced latte.) This is not your typical suburban mall. There are no fluorescent lights illuminating a food court full of teenagers eating pretzels. Instead, you'll find restaurants, cafés, valet parking, and enough designer stores to make you briefly consider whether you, too, are the kind of person who needs a silk scarf. The Short Hills Mall somehow manages to feel both luxurious and welcoming. Whether you're there to buy a designer handbag or simply wander around with a coffee and people-watch, there's something lovely about spending an afternoon here. Five stars for allowing me to feel rich for a few hours.

NOTE: my location is listed as Delray Beach. I do not live there full time…read more My location is as stated, within 5 miles of the Mall at Short Hills. I live within 5 miles of this mall in an "upscale" area and have shopped here since it opened. In the last two years, the Mall has transformed into an almost unaffordable shopping experience. Moderate price stores have closed in large numbers. The recent closing of the Gap is a case in point. Chico's, Banana Republic and Loft are no longer there. I used to take my grand daughter for a day of shopping before school opened for the year. No more. I cannot shop at Lois Vuitton, Fendi or the other stores at those price points. There are many " upper middle class" people who do not frequent ultra luxury stores. I find myself only going to the mall on an inclement day to do my daily walk.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Plenty of Asian food vendors to choose from! 10ish from my count, including Tous de Jous and Gong Cha at the entrance. ++++ Food vendors include BBQ Chicken, Don Don Curry, Sang's Tofu and K-BBQ, Jeong's Noodle, Wok Bar, Gold Miss and many more. + All of the food from the vendors are reasonably priced at $10-$25, with the more expensive entrees being EASILY shareable amongst 2-3 people. Some have Grab and Go sections too. + They have a big retail area to the side that sells stationary, accessories and lifestyle products - beware of letting your young kids into it because you might leave a few bucks light in your wallet! + PLENTY of tables and seats inside, even when crowded. + Right across from the hugeee H Mart food market. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Recently dined in on a Friday evening from 6-7:30 PM and it was prettty busy inside, but still had a lot of open tables. The mall DOES get crazy crowded on Saturday evenings, so can imagine the same happening in the H Mart Food Hall as well during peak lunch and dinner dining times.

My cousins from Canada visited for the first time and wanted to try Korean corn dogs. I forget the…read morename of the exact stall but I ordered two corn dogs and although they took a little while to be prepared, they tasted pretty good. I will warn that the batter is a bit thick so I heavily advise you eat over the container so it doesn't drop off the stick and onto the floor. The hotdog or sausage they used tasted better than the cheese too (in my opinion). And I love that right outside there is a plethora of sauces you can drizzle on top! Ordering was done via a self service kiosk too and then you took a little buzzer that went off when your order was ready which was cute.

I ordered the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich and was just given a plain chicken sandwich. No pepperJack cheese that's supposed to come on the sandwich and no bbq sauce, which I requested. It was listed on the box. I also ordered the collards and mac n cheese. Now my expectations were kind of high going into this meal bc of the celebrity name attached, and boy what a let down. The Mac n cheese was very creamy with some collards mixed in it but the cream to noodle ratio was off! It felt like a noodle cream soup Lol. So the first strike was the sandwich, the second strike was the noodle soup aka the mac n cheese with collard greens... I don't think I want to wait for a third strike... especially when the sandwich gave Chick-fil-A ... I won't be ordering from here again.

As part of our Flushing Food Crawl this past Sunday, New York Food Court was our first destination,…read morewhere we hit three different stalls. The tables and seats are arranged cafeteria-style, with all the vendors surrounding the dining area. It wasn't too busy around 12 PM, so I walked around the different stalls to get a feel for what this food court had to offer. Thankfully, I didn't have to think too hard about what to try because one of my friends is basically a Flushing food expert, despite not even living in NYC. While there were at least 15 vendors, we only grabbed a few bites from three of them since these were my friend's favorites: - Fat Cat Flatbread 胖猫锅盔 - Liang Pi Wang 凉皮王 - Xie Bao Crabhouse 蟹宝 The food came out pretty quickly after ordering, and these three stalls awakened our stomachs in preparation for more delicious food to come. Overall, I liked that New York Food Court had plenty of seating and felt much more lowkey compared to the crowded and overwhelming New World Food court nearby. It's a convenient place to sample food from multiple vendors without having to fight for a table.

The best thing to do is point if something fancies your eye. We tried the "taco like" dumplings. They were freshly made. The lady steamed them and they were very good.

This place is every claustrophobic person's worst nightmare. Walking around to see what each stall had to offer was difficult with swarms of people constantly moving around. Fortunately, we were able to find a table for four to eat our food. We tried food from three vendors, which gave us a nice variety: - Liu Liu Sheng Jian 六六生煎王 - Nai Brother 奈哥 - Tarim Uyghur Food There are at least 20 vendors at this food court, with more options than we could possibly try in one visit. With so many people, I quickly became overwhelmed by how busy it was. Still, I'd definitely come back to try some of the other vendors, but probably on a less busy day!

Made my stomach feel not so clean after but it was good! The soup dumplings were okay, I don't think it's the best or worst I've had. The food court has no reception and can get very packed, especially since this place gets talked about a lot. The food court also has cool vending machines with blind boxes that are sometimes hard to find which is nice. If you live here it's pretty convenient place to stop by.

I will be talking about the shopping center that is in the basement level that focuses on home appliances. If you need anything from Korea, or want some Korean designs go here! They literally sell anything from Korean traditional fans, Gongki, slippers and rice cookers. Overall, they have various designs, colors you can choose from. In addition, the prices aren't that bad and they have seasonal sale where certain items are go on sale. Great place to shop for home appliances. In addition, there are many other clothing and cosmetic stores that operates limited hour and day. They often don't have many customers throughout the day.

The mall is fairly big, with two floors, carrying a lot of familiar brand stores, and even ones that I'm sure some have never heard of. The interior has a modern look, which I'm sure had its renovation done a couple or several years back, but adds up looking clean and nice. It's in no condition of being a dead mall, despite there being a couple of closed stores, specifically anchor stores that don't exist anymore (pretty much all malls these days). The food court has a number to offer, with some of its usual eateries and a couple of ones that will blow your mind. Plenty of tables are provided to fit many people. For restaurants, there are Red Robin, The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's, Muldoon's Steakhouse & Pub, and Chipotle Mexican Grill. I wouldn't mind coming back to this mall, but won't be anytime soon due to how far I am.

Rockaway Townsquare is a pretty average mall with the exception of the cool section of gachapon…read moremachines we unexpectedly came across while walking around the mall. We were so excited to see these machines as they had genuine limited gachapon straight from Japan! The price to play each machine ranges from 4 to 5 tokens and each token is $1. This is quite expensive but for the experience I'd say it's worth trying once or twice! If you're an anime fan, they had quite a bit of gachapon from popular animes like demon slayer, spy x family and dragon ball z. There is a machine that accepts cash or card which will give you the tokens to play. We also found a cool cotton candy maker vending machine near the food court but it was super expensive, I believe $10 or so for one and the machine itself didn't look very well kept. All in all, had a fun experience here!
