the commons is great for shops, over 200. from addidas to zegna. this village is boasting the world's highest concentration of marquee labels.
which coming from britain is a culture shock to say the least a shopping addict could spend a few days here easily, it is a full day trip so when booking a trip to new york you must account for a shopping trip to this place as it is taking a day of your trip.
when here remember the conversion rate, you will get armani shirts for the value of 15 pound etc.. i got addidas golf shoes worth 100euro for 29 dollars which is about 20 euro or 15 pound. it helps to try and find out when new products are coming in to the shops so that you can get the best deals, maybe if you know someone from new york who could find this out?
always worth a visit for a bargain hunter, it is an all day trip so bring walking shoes. and plenty of water as that is where you can be stung for cash when buying refreshments.
for families dont bring a child if it can be prevented as they will b walkin all day.
bus links from the new york bus terminal "Port authority" are available frequently, the commons are roughly an hour and a half away dependant on traffic conditions.
driving here i had friends drive us and we took "George Washington Bridge (upper level) to Palisades Interstate Parkway (north) to Route 6 West (Exit 18, Central Valley). Exit onto Route 32 north (right turn at traffic light); proceed to center entrance on right."
