Woodbury Common Outlet

JBKO — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 16:34:50 GMT

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year--it's been months since I've been on this forum. I've been busy with work and it doesn't help that I need to get a new laptop. Anyway, my Bday is approaching and I was thinking of something new and different to do. It has to involve shopping for me to fully enjoy it, so maybe going to the Woodbury Common Outlet will fit the bill. I've been curious about that place since I saw it in a magazine back in 2001. Have any of you ever been there? I'm in NYC so it isn't much of a detour.

TIA and nice to see you all

The Outlet center is huge, in recent years it was increased by at least 25%, I was there in 2016.

It is a fun outing but the prices are really no better than a good sale.

I do like the Coach store and I know that the style are made for the outlets

Welcome back and yes I do remember you. I have never heard of Woodbury but just went and checked out their website and looks like a great place to spend a birthday.

Buy something wonderful!!

Only if you planned on going up to NY State and wanted to shop.

Welcome back @JBKO and Happy Burthday. I often went to Woodbury Common to shop. My only issue was that a lot of the stores had made for the outlet merchandise and the quality was different.

It's worth a try, though. Just expect to spend time getting a parking space...

@OKPrincess It would be quite a ride from New York City...

This is a very nice outlet. It is quite a hike for me (about 5 hour drive), but I still go every couple of years . . . just coz I can. I particularly like the Dooney outlet. They have plenty of high end outlets that still are very pricey indeed.

Last time I was there, they had a new food court -- lots of good fast food choices.

It is outside -- you park on the "outside" of the mall then walk into courtyards and open air corridors.

There are posted bus stops for buses that travel from someplace in NYC.

The bus companies run day trips up there. I see many many shoppers with their wheeling suitcases filled!

They have completed some renovations and made it a bit nicer. My sister goes there every time she comes to my house. I am not a shopper so I can't say about bargains. It does get crowded. The bus trip may be a bit more than an hour. After getting out of NYC it is all highway.

First off, wishing you a very happy, healthy birthday. I love Woodbury Commons. If you like designer items, it's especially wonderful. It's a whole day excursion as it's outdoors and huge. I believe one of the other posters was mentioning there are some different lines made especially for the outlets that are different compared to their regular stores. I have only found this with Chicos. Maybe she visits different stores than I do. I'm sure you've looked at their list of stores online. I unfortunately have had too much luck shopping there in the past lol. I havent been there for awhile and now youre making me want to go!!!!

NO!!! It is a distance from NYC. There are better, more unique things to do in NYC than go to a mall to shop!!!

@OKPrincess - Not really. It's pretty much the same as any other outlet (like Tanger outlets). Don't give up a day from your NYC adventure for this. If you want to window shop, take a stroll on Fifth Avenue!

riley1 — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 17:37:48 GMT

@JBKO - I haven't been in a couple of years, however, be aware that a lot of the merchandise is "made for outlet" stores. And, imo, prices are not that great either.

@OKPrincess do not give up an entire day in NYC to go shopping at this outlet. Too much to see in the city. As with most outlets the items are made for the outlets. Of course you can catch a deal, but so not worth it.

nothing special, I was there a few years ago used to have a donald pinlar store there but closed up a few years back. I would not waste a whole day to go out there.

Re: Woodbury Common Outlet

JBKO — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 17:54:12 GMT

I don't really care for items created to be sold at outlets. Takes the fun out of finding a great deal.
