New Jersey residents have a plethora of options when it comes time to locate that unique boutique store or warm, inviting, indoor mall that is a one-stop-shop for everyone on their Christmas list this year.
Short Hills

This shopping jewel is considered, by New Jersey locals, one of the nicest shopping experiences in the entire state. Anchored by Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue, the heart of the shopping experience is found in its population of unique, high-end boutiques like Tory Burch, Fendi, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, and many more.

Livingston
