There was a time when visiting a mall meant certain stores acted like foundations that other stores…read morewould pop up around. East Meets West is one such store. Whether it's this mall or Woodbridge, "East Meets West" is a fun store to visit. I generally go here to get incense but they have so much more than that. Their other offerings include various Hamsas you can hang up, crystals, rocks, sage kits, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, dream catchers and more. It doesn't matter if you believe in the various spiritual beliefs represented by this store, some of this stuff is just pretty decor. The store is basically a rectangle with shelves and islands in the middle. The cashier is off to the right in the middle. The cashier I dealt with was super friendly and I saw her helping the customer before me with a great deal of patience. This store used to be on the first floor, but they moved up to the second floor and as part of that move they upgraded the decor a bit. There's a fun neon sign at the entrance and a gigantic dream catcher hangs in one window with other items. Before you even walk in the store front seems to promise a unique store experience in a mall mostly dominated by department stores and clothing shops. I wound up getting some "short" incense that were nicely priced (20 for $5 I believe). I also bought a sticker for $2. "East Meets West" is a classic part of the mall experience and I definitely recommend dropping by!

New Market is a literal market and the owners allow many women and minority owned businesses to sell their products. The owners also have an event space around the corner where they host parties. The location couldn't get any better. It's downtown Metuchen. Street parking for 50 cents and there is a parking garage conveniently located around the corner. They do craft nights and I'd definitely recommend stopping in to shop and support the small businesses.

Whether you are a true practitioner of mystical arts or just someone looking for unusual decor, this shop has something to offer you. Much like its counterpart in Menlo Park Mall, this location has a bright store front with a Dream Catcher hanging in one window. The interior is choc full of everything from small decorative items to jewelry to stones to incense and so so much more. You can keep yourself busy for quite some time browsing this store and feasting your eyes on the unusual items inside. I grew up going to stores like this in my teen years in NYC's West Village so it is a bit of a nostalgia trip to visit this place. On my most recent visit I picked up some incense. They have "shorties" which are small versions of their usual incense, about half the size (maybe a bit smaller). They are nice and cheap, costing 20 for $3 (if I recall correctly). They have small bags you can write on so you can keep track of which scent is in which bag. The cashier was very nice. I accidentally knocked a bag off its peg and she was very kind about putting it back. This is one of my "must visit" stops in the mall and I'm very happy to see them still open in Woodbridge!
