Lovely mall with a nice food court and plenty of tables and sitting areas, but the charging ports on the upper level are all locked, which was disappointing. Otherwise a nice place to hang out for a bit.
The bathroom in the cafeteria is the cleanest public restroom I have ever been in my whole life. There is rarely any mess in each stall. They are all clean. I also love the liquid soap the dispenser dispenses. The restrooms on the first floor are quite different than the second floor. There is foam soap coming out of the dispensers. Also the lighting is very dimmed. Not enough lighting. This mall has a lot of marble tables all around and comfortable leather couches to relax. There are many nice shops to check out although all of them are high end.
This shopping center is pretty nice. It feels really high-end and comfortable to walk around. There's even a beautiful atrium and food court here. There are a couple downsides, however. There are only two bathrooms (that I could find) in the whole building. So, when one of them is closed off for cleaning, it can be stressful to find where to go. The other complaint I have is that the only shops here are extremely expensive. Don't expect standard mall kind of stuff.
Because of CANstruction, learned about Brookfield Place more than a decade ago (at least). That time, there was no underground walkway to the Oculus bec the Oculus wasn't even built yet :) Now, it is so convenient to get to and from the subway and Path trains, without worrying about the weather outside. Aside from shopping, food hall/restaurants, from inside Brookfield Place, can see nice views of outdoors and the river. Have taken photos of the cityscape, a distant view of the Statue of Liberty, the sunset on the river from the marina area. Lots of restrooms.
I've been coming to Brookfield for years with my kids. The largess of it all is unmistakably New York. My favorite are second floor seating spaces with stunning views of the harbour. Public art is unintrusive but formidable. Great for chilling any season.
On my visit to lower manhattan i pass this location, it got my attention from the pier. So I made it one of my stuff after I got off the ferry coming from Jersey city, New Jersey. It's amazing. I did not buy anything just walk it and explore the different stores. Next time that I'm in the area, I think I'm gonna spend a little bit more time.. There is a path to the oculus underground and to the path train and other NYC metro.
Dropped by here a couple weeks ago when I was in the area, hadn't been inside for a couple years so decided to check out what was new. The convenient part about getting here is that you can walk underground from the Oculus and take escalators that bring you directly into the first floor of the mall, which means it's also fairly conveniently located to catch public transportation to locations within Manhattan or to Jersey via the PATH or ferry that stops a couple blocks north along the Hudson. The mall itself looks the same, some stores have swapped out for others, overall well-maintained and clean which seems to be a standard for most Westfield properties, and still filled with high-end stores with a handful of less expensive stores mixed in. What struck me was how many stores were empty, especially on the side wings, clearly more mainstream retailers aren't drawn to this location for a reason--probably due to this mall's location along the water so far downtown--you're here basically if you live or work in the area, are a tourist or taking friends here from out-of-town. However what they do well is provide a nice space for the average person to enjoy the AC, the waterfront view, and enjoy a casual meal. While there never seems to be many people actually shopping in this mall, the food court is decently occupied during meal hours and there is never a shortage of seating. A sprinkling of coffee shops/cafes (Tartinery, Mah-za-dahr, Daily Provisions) and the Hudson Eats food court, as well as the mall-adjacent restaurants and bars along the water draw the most visitors. Options at Hudson Eats include Chopt Salads, Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar, Blackseed Bagels, Springbone Kitchen, All'Antico Vinaio, Dos Toros Taqueria, Dig, Naya, Earthbar, Carrot Express, Milu, Mighty Quinn's BBQ. On a sunny Friday afternoon almost all the outdoor seating along the water was taken, and there's a lot--enough to seat several hundred people. Plenty of company happy hours going on at Le District and PJ Clarke's next door. It's nice to walk along the waterfront in the evening, the sun can be a bit strong in the summer but the sunsets are beautiful.
Very disappointed. Overpriced even by NY standards and most if not all the food options are either poke like bowl options or gourmet pastries and coffees. Feels a tad yuppie like. An east pass.
Brookfield Place is a very nice mall with high end stores and a nice food court with many options. There are lots of coffee shops as well and is located right by the freedom tower and the Hudson River!
Wow I didn't know they had a mall in Manhattan! There was so many high name brands in there and the big opening of the palm trees with high ceilings made it feel like paradise! Stumbled upon this place because they had a can-struction display which will be shown to the public for a short time. It's amazing how they used all different colored cans to make amazing art! You gotta see for yourself to believe it!
Holidays in NYC are second to none. So much beauty to behold! Usually in the form of lights. Brookfield Place's Luminaries light display was no exception. Rainbows of color that you can control with a motion sensor box. So creative! This mall is on the newer side, but it's gorgeous. Lots of events and good things to eat. During December they had a cocktail happy hour, Santa, shopping specials and ice skating. I'm sure there was plenty more going on, but I was satisfied exploring stores, le district food court and the outdoor waterfront for a few hours. There's a direct tunnel under the roads to the world trade center and subways so you never have to go outside if the weather is harsh. Hang out in the lovely atrium stairs as long as you like. Brookfield does a great job all year round, but this time of year is extra special.
Have come to Brookfield many times since it opened many years ago. I like how it isn't too packed and you have a lot you can do. Whether you want to shop or eat at the food court upstairs or just lounge around on the staircase. The food court vendors are more high-end than normal food court spots. I've tried Springbone (clean broth) to Blue Ribbon (high-quality sushi). Everything is good, but expect to spend a pretty dollar here. The bathrooms are upstairs and are clean and spacious. The seating is large and comfortable.
Brookfield Place feels like my spot. I am always there meeting friends, getting food, walking around, and finding a quiet place to sit. It has so many food options, from the quick spots in the food hall to the nicer restaurants upstairs, so it is easy to meet people without stressing about where to eat. The stores are fun to browse and the whole place feels bright, clean, and calm. I love sitting by the big windows and looking out at the water. It gives me a moment to breathe and slow down, even on busy days. It is the kind of place where you can talk, relax, and stay longer than you planned. Brookfield Place has become one of the places I go to the most because it always feels comfortable and familiar. read more
Brookfield Place is a 14‑acre waterfront complex in Lower Manhattan that blends shopping, dining, culture, and green space -- all under one iconic roof, with a rich history and some surprising trivia. It has waterfront access on the west side opens directly to the Hudson River Architecturally speaking I thought it looked stunning. Originally called the World Financial Center -- it opened in 1988 and was designed by architect César Pelli The complex was damaged in the September 11 attacks, closed for repairs, and reopened exactly one year later on September 11, 2002 Renamed in 2013 -- Brookfield Place became its official name, marking a transformation from a corporate hub to a public cultural destination read more
Brookfield Place is located in Lower Manhattan along the waterfront, and is a beautiful shopping, dining, and lifestyle destination with stunning views of the Hudson River and the marina. The Winter Garden, with its tall palm trees and glass atrium, is especially impressive and creates a bright and relaxing atmosphere even on busy days. What we liked most was that it offers much more than shopping. There are restaurants, cafés, luxury stores, public seating areas, and frequent events and art installations throughout the year. It's also conveniently connected to the Financial District and close to attractions like the World Trade Center area. read more

Used to be called the World Financial Center and now Brookfield Place. Easy to get to from outside and even via the Occulus passage way (good during the winter or in the rain without having to step outside) and from the train station - NYT and PATH trains. Definitely spruced up still with the high end stores and access to the Winter Garden and what is now called Portside. Very new view of the water at Portside. If you go out to Portside and by the water, there is for Brookfield Ferry Terminal as well. Besides the high end shops, there as a passage way to the other side where there are more stores and businesses, restaurants and coffee shops as well. Can dine inside or outside. Winter Garden is always nice and fancy during the holidays as well as the decor in Brookfield Place. read more

Nice shopping center in Manhattan. The mall is spacious and I have to say I love the airy high ceilings. Most of the story are high-end brand names like Gucci, Prada, LV etc. This mall is connected to the subway station. I love the décor here. I also like the ambience here in the day time. read more
I love this place. I am surprised they don't have more reviews. Brookfield is a high-end shopping center with a food court on the second floor. I can't say I have ever shopped here as most of the items are way outside of my price range. I would normally enter through the Oculus and walk through the tunnel filled with stores and electronic display boards into Westfield. It is such a relaxing feeling to enter Brookfield under the large palm trees and glass windows. Over the past few years there have been several events here. Every Christmas they have the winter garden filled with lights and Christmas trees. I love the Luminaries installation which gets everyone in a happy mood during the holidays. During the summer months they have outdoor movie festivals, exercise classes, and games for families. One time I was able to meet Anthony Davis from the Lakers who was introducing his fashion line at one of the clothing stores. This week I was able to come here for the Tribeca Film Festival. It was a beautiful day to be outside and see the latest movies together especially after Covid. It was the first time they showed In the Heights which is a great movie. The best part for me was having everyone cheer and clap at the end. After the crazy year New York City has had it was great to feel like we were getting back to normal again. read more
Charming as ever, even during these times. Most stores are open and have the usual covid precautions. They're seating people by groups where the food places are like chopt and the coffee shops. The bathrooms are also well maintained and seem to be cleaned often. You can't really take pictures on the stairs as they're are some steps blocked off. There's also an ice rink right now! It seemed much less crowded than other spots in the city. read more

I love coming here when I'm in the city. Brookfield is located on the lower west side of Manhattan and has something for everyone shopping, dining, live music (pPre- Covid). You can get groceries, have a meal, dine indoors or outdoors. I've loved coming here my entire life especially to sit outdoor during the summer and Have a meal and watch the boats come in and go out. I especially love visiting Sprinkles on the second floor they have some of the best cupcakes! They have specials for each day as well as the daily regulars. I also enjoy visiting, dining and/or buying food from Le District! I've always gotten a wonderful variety of cheeses as well. Le District is a French market read more

We came to Brookfield for the EN GARDE ARTS' A DOZEN DREAMS event. The event is from May 13 - 30, 2021. This event is an immersive installation of sets, lights, video, and sound. We were given an iPhone and headphone (it has covers on it and disinfected after every use) that plays a recording of individuals who shared their stories of resilience and imagining a better future - dreams of flying, traveling, and grappling with what it means to be an artist right now as we move through the installation room by room. The event lasted for almost an hour. Totally recommend it if you have the time, I enjoyed it. read more

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a consumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. This is literally a museum for its exceptionally beautiful decors and maintenance. I used to go here when my wife used to work at the downtown. Now with the pandemic, it was like a homecoming after a long time to this wonderful place and it still hasn't lost its pristine touch. It's time of the Holidays and the place is already ready for Christmas with a lot of Christmas trees and also has a nice Ice rink that has been set up outside of it. They have their high end shops like Gucci, Omega and LV but we went to our favorite Coffee shop that sells one of the best macaroons in town and got some of their new varieties. They were excellent as usual for their richness in taste. Next time you are here, give this palatial retail place some love. read more

A pleasant spot to eat, shop, and do work. While we must never forget the history of this site, it is nevertheless great to see the bustling commercial complex that was built in legacy to it. read more

Usually people go inside and enjoy the beauty and ambience of the "mall", but I'm here to tell you stay outside and enjoy the natural beauty of downtown Manhattan. It's gorgeous, doesn't get old, before and after Covid, before and after Sandy, seen it all here and this place is special. The way the sun sets over the water and boats and various docks. Gorgeous but also gives you all the feels. IYKYK. Hope it always stays as clean and safe for many generations to enjoy. read more

Is there some kind of food court seating situation, if so where and are reservations required?
No reservation required. It's first come first serve but at reduced capacity due to COVID. You just need to check in at the seating area where they take your temperature etc.…
Do you have to book the ice skating tickets ahead of time or can you buy it there?
You can get tickets there but it is best to book ahead of time as the time slots are fixed as 1 hour sessions starting at the beginning of each hour.
