Then, it practically turned into an empty circumference of vacant storefronts. Now, there are viable options, depending on what you're looking for.

So I need to give Essex Green five stars knowing how much it has improved over the years. If you…read morecompare it to K-Mart Plaza just down Prospect Ave, it's 5 stars. There are more store tenants now (it's less deserted) and there's a variety of businesses - from the Shoprite, AMC Dine-In, Panera, Dry Cleaners, Jerry's Art Store, Five Below, Macy's, Burlington, etc. In recent years, a West Orange Starbucks Drive-Thru popped up in Essex Green also. I'm optimistic that more businesses will set up shop there, perhaps even some of the artisan vendors or activity spaces that Monique suggests in her review. It's more likely now with the new Stonehill complex and the new location of the West Orange Public Library on Rooney Circle. Fingers crossed!

On my way to Montclair, I made a stop at this place. It's located on Garden State Plaza,…read moresouthbound, right after I-80 exit. It's undergone a renovation and now has a modern interior. There are several stores here, including Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and Applegreen, a quick-grab shop. It's an excellent place for travelers to stop for snacks, meals, and drinks. When I visited during dinner hours, there were many people in the store. I bought a soda from Applegreen and used self-checkout. It was a quick and easy process, and the price was reasonable. There was a store clerk tidying up the store and helping a customer with snacks. Overall a very nice service station.

It's currently undergoing a huge renovation. Existing businesses are still open and operating. These include the Whole Foods, Verizon Store, Chipotle, Jersey Mikes, Frank's Pizza, America's Best Contacts and Glasses, myGym, dogtopia, and Mavis Tires. There is a lot of construction right now as parts of the shopping strip are being prepared for a Target anchor store, and a new traffic pattern is being carved out in the plaza lot where newly built free-standing store units will be strategically situated. The new plans will completely refresh the area and bring more activity to this part of town.

I'll go into Center City for Marshalls, GNC, and PriceRIte more often. I've only been to Hamilton & Ward, but there are other eateries like Downtown Grill and IHOP. Inside, I've also seen there's a nail place, as well as a movie theater and arcade. Center City Mall is easy to get to via public transportation with bus stops, and there is underground parking available.

The drinks from horchata to tamarindo is excellent, as well as desserts such as tres leches.

Styertowne Shopping Center has been around for at least 50 years plus…read more History: For those Yelpers who live in the area, this center had the original Rowe Manse Emporium which started out as a small card and candle shop. Later, it expanded to an ultra modern department store. People came from all over to shop here. Rows Manse has been closed for the last 20 years. The center has a variety of stores: CVS, Corbo Jeweler's, Dollar Store, Vitamin Shoppe, US Post Office, Dunkin Donuts, Subway, Seasons Market, Allstate Ins. and much more. To me, the Shopping Center needs a "real facelift". Most of the shops need to "update" their outside appearance. The Shopping Centre's appearance hasn't changed since its inception. On occasion, I've noticed some questionable characters about. One of the latest and a real welcome addition is the Mexican Restaurant is Bitol. They serve wonderful cocktails and cuisine. Styertowne Shopping Center has a large parking lot in the front and rear of the center. PS: How could I forget, the wonderful Styertowne Bakery. It's one of the best bakeries in NJ!
