New York Malls are just like your favorite malls back home.
Wherever your home happens to be.
No more. No less.
They are shopping centers most commonly used to kill time and parents money in suburbia. Like their surburban counterparts, they are secular cathedrals of consumerism.
There are chain stores, large box stores and familiar & unfamiliar department stores in New York City malls.
Since New York City was set up as a trading post by the Dutch West India Company sometime in 1624 or 1625, perhaps a decent historical argument can be made that the Island of Manhattan has always been a New York Mall. Way before the term came into existence or become fashionable, in the present age.
New York City shopping takes place everywhere you go. There will always be someone ready willing and able to sell you something.
No Fuss.
No Muss.
