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.

Eataly is launching a new fast-casual cafe at Rockefeller Center
New Yorkers, your next Italian obsession is arriving hot and fast. Eataly —the beloved Italian food hall known for its bustling marketplaces, freshly made pasta and dangerously good focaccia—is launching a brand-new café concept designed for life on the go. Meet Eataly Caffè, a quick-service spinoff of the global culinary brand, opening its very first location at Rockefeller Center on May 15 at 5pm, with a second to follow soon at The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards. Designed with city life in mind, Eataly Caffè offers a more compact, grab-and-go version of its full-size siblings—but don't confuse 'fast' with 'basic.' The menu reads like a greatest hits album of Italian favorites: espresso drinks brewed from Eataly's exclusive 100% Arabica blend (roasted in Italy, naturally), flaky pastries, Roman-style pizza alla pala, tramezzini, panini, soups, salads, pasta and, of course, gelato. According to Eataly North America CEO Tommaso Brusò, this marks a major milestone in the brand's stateside evolution. 'We are incredibly excited to inaugurate our very first Eataly Caffè locations, especially in the city that welcomed us stateside nearly 15 years ago,' Brusò said in a statement. 'As a true icon of New York City, we are thrilled to open at Rockefeller Center, adding to its unparalleled entertainment, retail and dining. Likewise, we look forward to opening a second location at the iconic Hudson Yards, a culmination of experiences, shopping, and best-in-class dining, shortly afterwards. Overall, our mission with Eataly Caffè is to provide a taste of the Italian art of living, and we cannot wait to welcome in guests very soon.' Another perk: Eataly Caffè will debut a dedicated app featuring exclusive item drops each quarter, loyalty rewards and real-time order tracking, so your mid-morning macchiato will practically walk itself to you.
