Clark Commons is a nice shopping Center which opened 10 years ago (August 2015). Whole Foods is…read morethe Anchor store in this shopping center. There are 4 entrances and 3 exits & sufficient parking; however, the aisles are narrow & congestion is a problem when it's busy. The 27 stores surround the parking lot. There is a nice choice of stores. Many are Chain Stores and Restaurants. I wish they had a Vegetarian or Vegan restaurant. These are the stores there: Petco Barnes & Noble (opened in August 2025) Whole Foods Market (includes a restaurant/pub) Hallmark (Cards, Gifts) Home Goods (Kitchen supplies & more) Five Below Ulta Mattress Firm Michael's (Arts & Crafts) Verizon Wireless - Victra Clark L.A.

Some shops that have closed: Red Mango, Party City, Noodles & Company

This is a nice outdoor shopping plaza.

There is a nice variety of stores as well; Carter's/osh kosh Bgosh, Torrid, Ulta, Hallmark, Petsmart, HomeGoods, Michaels, and others. Also a Whole Foods, so it's a good one stop shop if you shop at these stores and live or commute nearby. There are a ton of great stores outside of the plaza as well, a Barnes and Noble, Target, Hand and Stone, and plenty of good food options are all within a 2 mile radius. The stores are all fairly new and well maintained and the plaza can get a bit busy but there is plenty of parking. It's a good place to shop if you're tired of the mall or don't want to deal with the crowds at the mall. 5/5

This shopping center is conveniently located near the light rail between Bayonne and Staten Island…read more There's plenty of options to choose from for something to eat, from dine-in restaurants to fast food/grab & go. Also, multiple stores for a little retail therapy if you're in the area. I particularly like the way that the properties are widespread and not cramped or overlapping; there is ample parking availability.

The Gateway is to me just as the name implies - a gateway between Downtown Newark and Newark Penn…read moreStation. Beyond traversing between the two is a large business building. Most of my visits here have actually been for that - business for one of my clients family attorney. Several floors up after getting clearance is a fancy suite where I'm sure high profile law meetings take place as it is extremely high end looking and assume the other floors look the same. In the main area is an extension of what Newark Penn Station is like, New York Penn as well with various shops to consider before you travel. From what I can tell it serves it's purpose. An upscale office building complete with security, an art gallery on the lower level but shops that offer passage to Downtown Newark and Newark Penn. There is a parking garage just outside of the building that I find handy in my visits here.

If you commute into and out of Newark, Gateway Center is very convenient - especially when it's…read moreraining or snowing outside. If you are traveling into Newark Penn Station, you can get to Mulberry Street (one block from Broad Street) through Gateway's skyway. On your way, you can get a coffee or a quick grab-and-go snack at one of the shops inside. There are two Dunkin' Donuts, two Subways, and a few non-big-chain eateries (Nagoyaka, City Beans, COTIDIANO, Metro Café, etc.). There are also a few convenience stores, a New York Sports Club, and the Gateway Project Spaces. You can also enter the Hilton Gateway from inside Gateway Center. Gateway is comprised of four corporate buildings (1, 2, 3, and 4 Gateway). Midday, office workers will flood the skyway getting lunch or heading outside during their break. On a Devils night, many fans use the Gateway to get to Prudential Center, which is on Mulberry Street. Again, the best thing about Gateway is its convenience. My only forewarning is - during off-peak times of the day - be alert. While there is security during the work week, security presence isn't as visible during the weekend. I had a bad experience where a homeless man grabbed my arm when I wouldn't give him money, and no one was around to help me. This isn't a common occurrence, but just be careful.

This is a small strip mall with some nice stores. I frequent this place because of the sushi spot and froyo. Some other stores I want to go are the gamer store, snowboard/skateboard store, and the Thai food joint. The only knock against this strip mall is the parking. The parking lot space are tight and when this place is full you might as well keep on driving. All in all...a good place to stop and shop.

The greatest thing about this shopping center is that it's never ever crowded. It's alway easy to…read morefind a good parking spot, and none of the stores ever have waits or lines. I feel like because it's a bit further back (on the border of Hoboken / JC) there is way less of a crowd then the JC shopping center with Shop Rite. Even though Shop-Rite is closer to my house, I mainly food shop here because shop-rite is always a crowded zoo. The supermarket used to be an A&P, but recently switched over to Acme. I also hit up Pier 1 from time to time, and just like everything else in this shopping center, it's rarely crowded which is really nice. Other stores include Best Buy, a beauty supply store and a couple of fast food options. I wish that there was something healthier to eat, because your only choices are a Popeyes or a Papa Johns. But, definitely not a big deal. There aren't too many shopping centers in Jersey City and it's nice to have this as an option!

City Place is awesome. Not only is it the new house to the "Original Pancake House", but it's got…read moresome pretty good shopping to be done over there. While there aren't many stores, it's not as crowded as going to Garden State Plaza. It has a nice NYC feel to it - luxury condos up top, and shops/entertainment on the bottom. No need to get in your car to go to a Starbucks or Panera, because it's right there. There's also a BR, Gap, and Hagen Dazs in the courtyard, amongst other stores. Selection of retail stores is limited, but if you have stores that you shop at in the plaza, then this is right up your alley. Perfect day: Have breakfast/brunch at the pancake house, do some shopping, and then have Hagen Daz after while sitting outside.
