These New York shopping spots just made the list of the best malls in America
The mall is back—and New York City is leading the retail revival. In USA Today 's newly released 10Best Readers' Choice Awards for Best Mall in America, four NYC-area shopping spots cracked the top 10, proving that the art of the indoor shopping spree is alive and well.
Topping the local leaderboard at No. 4 is The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, the glitzy, glass-wrapped complex on Manhattan's West Side. With million-dollar views of the Vessel, top-tier dining like Estiatorio Milos and Electric Lemon and a fashion lineup that includes Chanel, Dior and more, it's retail therapy with a penthouse attitude.
Brookfield Place, the serene, waterfront mall in Lower Manhattan, scored the No. 10 spot. Formerly the World Financial Center, this luxury enclave features a palm-lined Winter Garden Atrium, a sleek sailing school and enough upscale stores and restaurants to justify a staycation.
Just across the river, American Dream in East Rutherford landed at No. 7. This Jersey juggernaut is more theme park than mall, with an indoor ski slope, a water park and Nickelodeon Universe on top of its more than 400 stores. It's chaotic and extra, but also exactly what the tri-state needed.
And while it's not a New York mall, Aventura Mall in South Florida took the top overall spot—no surprise for anyone who's ever strolled its sleek corridors between art installations, designer storefronts and Florida's first Eataly.
The 10Best awards start with nominations from a panel of experts and editors and then let the public vote to determine the winners. Criteria include the variety of shops, entertainment options, accessibility and events—everything that turns a mall visit into an all-day affair.
So if you've been sleeping on the city's mall scene, consider this your wake-up call. Whether you want your shopping with a side of skyline views, art or après-ski, there's a mall near NYC ready to serve.

What we know about the cost of Trump's DC military parade and festival
The parade, which will feature Army equipment, flyovers, musical performances and thousands of soldiers in uniforms from the past and the present, caps off a week of programming designed to showcase the country's military power. Trump posted a short video address about the parade to Truth Social earlier this month, inviting Americans to what he called an "unforgettable" celebration, "one like you've never seen before." June 14 parade guide: What time is Trump's DC military parade? See full festival schedule How much will the DC military parade cost? All that pageantry comes with a price tag. Officials initially estimated the Army Birthday Festival and parade would range in cost from $25 million to $45 million, but the Army's latest estimate totaled $40 million, as USA TODAY's Tom Vanden Brook previously reported, citing a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly. The Army Corps of Engineers told USA TODAY it is "not expecting damage" to the roads of the nation's capital due to the parade, which will see dozens of huge military vehicles, including more than two dozen tanks, fighting vehicles and Strykers and two types of armored ground combat vehicles, roll through D.C. streets. Yet if damage is incurred, an army official managing the event said the Army will be responsible. 'No Kings Day': Protests planned for June 14 with aim to reclaim the American flag When is the DC military parade? The day kicks off at about 8:15 a.m. ET with a wreath-laying ceremony headed by Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth at Arlington National Cemetery. It will be livestreamed here, and followed by a succession of all-day events including an evening parade and wrapping up with a fireworks display. The parade, along with several other events and concerts, will also be livestreamed. Organizers say the procession begins at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Depop is throwing a giant free fashion block party in Soho this weekend
One perk of living in New York are the fabulous free events running all summer long, like bustling street fairs and epic outdoor concerts. But what's a NYC summer without a block party? On Saturday, sustainable shopping app Depop will celebrate our city of irreverent style and one-of-a-kind lewks with a blowout bash in Soho. From 1pm to 7pm, the Depop Block Party will fill the streets with top-notch second-hand fashion, live music, lots of food, and community vibes on June 14. Head to 126 Crosby Street to score second-hand gems from notable resellers, including '90s and Y2K attire by Soulful Threads, Pawneshoppe womenswear, men's collections at Fareri and ChrisFinds, as well as cool kids' apparel curated by Glo2Sick, and of course accessories with NikiAngel. Beyond the clothing racks, block party guests can groove to DJ sets, pop into a subway-themed photobooth, customize merch using a heat press, and visit a Depop Newsstand for surprises. There will even be a dedicated kids' activity space. We all know shopping works up your appetite, which is why plenty of NYC-style pizza, smash burgers, and classic Mister Softee cones will be on hand for purchase. But if you download the Depop app and flash it at the wristband station on Houston Street, you'll be able to snag free snacks from said food trucks. What's more, the trendy marketplace has partnered with Housing Works to build a Depop Souvenir Shop set inside the nonprofit's store on Crosby Street, in addition to making a donation towards its HIV/AIDS advocacy and charities. A week later, Cosmopolitan will drop its collaborative collection with the resale retailer, featuring hand-picked items from magazine editors as well as an exclusive Cosmo collection of merchandise. This one-of-a-kind shopping event on June 21 will be hosted by Cosmopolitan Editor-In-Chief Willa Bennett and include creative experiences like crafting and photography in addition to all the vintage hunting. 'Across June, we're making circular fashion more visible, accessible and engaging for New Yorkers through a mix of media, IRL experiences and digital shopping,' Depop's Interim CEO Peter Semple said in a press release. 'We'll be showing up where culture, communities, creativity and commerce intersect …. we're excited to celebrate and contribute to the many kinds of style and self-expression that have their home in New York.'
