Walking around

I don't come to this mall very often. Today I came for work and realized that you can find things in the stores that a middle-class person can afford without breaking the bank. I had the impression that all the stores were very expensive, but I saw that I can buy things at a fair price. I'm going back tomorrow and I'll tell you how it went and if I bought anything... It's a huge mall. Very clean, with attention to detail like trash cans, waiting areas, and high-quality decorations. I often come here to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. I'm going to Barnes & Noble tomorrow. I like bookstores. Today there were low flow of customers and very little noise.

A little more upscale feeling... until I went to the touchscreen map and nothing worked on the screen. Well, so much for finding the shop I wanted to go to... had to whip out my phone and do a search. Lovely spot, completely empty on a weekday afternoon, but broken tech? I mean, you have to do better if you want to make an impression... Went to grab food at Houston's. Saw pretty much no one inside shopping... wonder if it does better on the one day of the weekend it can be open (since it's in Hackensack, blue laws keep the non-food shops closed). Guessing it survives mostly due to the food shops (which they do have a few good ones).

Stopped by the mall to get some lunch and shop at Bloomingdale's. It was very empty . But I was so impressed by the Christmas decorations they did. All the common areas look stunning. Security personnel were constantly walking around to keep things safe. There are some new stores opening but the luxury brands are still there. Loved my time walking around the store.

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. This mall is absolutely gorgeous. You'll feel expensive just walking through it. Riverside has gone through a major face lift within the past few years. I remember when it had the "old" Barnes & Noble, Au Bon Pain, and Orange Leaf. They've remodeled the interior and it's beautifully designed. High ceilings, a flower wall, chandeliers, a water fountain, and more. Even the bathrooms are squeaky clean and elegant. The stores consist mainly of luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Coach, Ferragamo, Tory Burch, and Rolex. It's never too crowded here, so you'll get a quiet shopping experience. Most of the mall's traffic is from the dining, AMC Theatres, and Barnes & Noble. I personally go here for their restaurants. They have The Cheesecake Factory, Houston's, Morton's, and Sweetgreen, which are some of my favorite places to eat. There's not much to do in terms of entertainment except for the movie theaters on the second floor. They do have the Fountain Spa and Lifetime (luxury gym studio).

I absolutely kill love coming to this mall it's easy to access. There's plenty of parking both and the lights outside as well as the parking garage. The selection of stores are wonderful. You can find all the designers that you want without having to go into the city. the mall is never crowded, they also have great restaurants, Barnes & Noble bookstore, and a spa Some of the restaurants are a bit pricey, but not outrageous. There's also a cheesecake factory, which is more reasonable.

What a gorgeous mall! This is definitely a higher end shopping center, with a selection of fancier restaurants and an AMC. This was my first time visiting; I was here to go to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with my partner. I was there for TCF but driving around also noticed there's a Rosa Mexicano, Morton's Steakhouse, Oceanside Seafood Room, and Houston's. I'm not a frequent shopper at higher end store (maybe a window shopper), but I stopped inside the Barnes and Nobles there. It's a good B&N location. Walking inside the Shops was such a nice experience. The interior is beautifully designed with the green walls, chandeliers, water fountain, etc. I also saw there was even a gallery (M.Schorr). I mean, it was by appointment only, but a gallery? I'm not used to seeing that in a shopping center. In short, Shops at Riverside is really gorgeous.

I love this mall. It's clean. Has many popular brand stores. Many locations to dine. I saw armed security. It looked more like the military. Beautiful clean bathrooms. I mean they thought of everything. A private room to nurse your baby. A family room to change your baby or take your lil one to the bathroom. They had private doors to the entrance of your stall. It felt like I was in a spa bathroom but I was in a mall. I've been to alot of malls, but this one was just so elegant. So well put together. The parking lot even had the signs up in a color you could recognize and see your letter and number so you know where you parked your car. A plus that we didn't have to pay for parking either. This has to be on my list of favorites in my Mall category. It's not far from the city or where I live driving, so I think I can see this mall being revisited. - Thumbs up for me

I still have my complimentary key chain I was given at one of my visits. Love it! 07/10/21

The Shops at Riverside is a fond memory. My family would make the trip to this mall at least monthly. If you live in NYC and want to eat at Cheesecake Factory this used to be the closest location. We also like the feeling of being home we would get from shopping in a Mall such as this one. Like most reviews say, it is higher end stores. I like the Barnes and Noble location. You can always find gifts in there. During the time we went to this mall it was undergoing renovation. It has now become very luxurious inside. The tile floors and glass roofing are great. I love the seating area. When you shop until you drop you can sit down to rest comfortably in the mall. The reason we don't shop here any longer involves the transportation. In Winter we had to wait in the cold on the highway for the bus to and from NYC. I remember one day climbing over huge piles of snow to cross the highway to get the bus back to NY. I can't tell you how many times we would be flagging the bus down as it passed us by. It became to much trouble and unsafe to be out on the highway. Someone told us about Park and Ride and the bus from Port Authority that goes to the Mall in Wayne. So then we started going to Willowbrook Mall Park and Ride in Wayne. It is much easier to access from NYC by bus. I often wonder if they started providing bus transportation to and from The Shops at Riverside in their parking lot. An over hang with protection during inclement weather would be nice too at The Riverside Shops. If you don't live nearby, or own a car keep this in mind when you go. Maybe if enough people express an interest they will help us by providing bus service. I would certainly like to return to The Shops at Riverside in Hackensack for a shopping visit.

Pretty holiday lights and decor

The Shops at Riverside is an indoor luxury mall. It is gorgeous and newly renovated. It is good for a quick stop if they have the stores you shop in, but it is quite small so the selection is as well. There are a lot of great dining options from PF Chang's to the more fine dining experience of Houston's (always my pick!). Their Barnes and Noble has also been newly renovated and is really modern and pleasant to shop in. It's a quiet mall so it's nice for a quiet afternoon of shopping, but if you're looking to hit a multitude of stores you may have to also make a trip down the highway to the outlets.

What I really like about this shopping center is that even on a Friday afternoon, despite parking spots being packed, the place itself outside of the restaurants is pretty calm. It almost feels like a private shopping experience. The only downside is that outside of pretty much Sephora, the other brands are not ones that the average person would shop at daily--too many high class boutique stores outweigh the big box ones.

It's a very rare occurrence for me.

If there's one thing we're going to do when we go to Garden State Plaza, it's make our two…read moremandatory stops: Macy's for him and AKIRA for me! AKIRA has become one of my favorite stores because I can always find something unique to add to my wardrobe, those pieces that are just a little different and make an outfit stand out. And while I'm doing my thing at AKIRA, my husband can always count on Macy's to find something new for his wardrobe too. So basically... we both leave with a bag, we're both happy, and everybody wins. And we're frugal shoppers. So safe to say we always get a good sale. At this point, a Garden State Plaza trip just isn't complete without these two stops! And of course you gotta feed the belly so this particular trip we went to Carlitos and got our taco fix and you can't go wrong with tacos, especially at Carlitos. They're always so friendly and accommodating.

I'm not sure if I've ever been to this mall before, but today it is absolutely packed with people…read moreeverywhere--in the corridors, inside the restaurants, and in the shops. I don't know if it's because of the Soccer World Cup 2026, the fact that it's Saturday afternoon, or the sweltering heat, but it is incredibly crowded. I came straight here after work to check it out because I have movie tickets for the cinema located inside. I arrived a bit too early, so I'm going to walk around and explore the place, and I'll let you know what I think later. The air conditioning is holding up well against the massive crowd. I'll share my thoughts on the other places I visit later on. I can see a variety of spots here, though--places like "Carlitos BBQ taqueria", as well as coffee shops, pretzel stands, dessert spots, a Macy's, ramen restaurants, and more.

Today I went to Nordstrom Rack and other stores in the mall looking for some special work sneakers…read more I like coming to Nordstrom because I find high-quality shoes in excellent condition at great prices. Unfortunately, they didn't have the specific type of shoe I needed, but whenever I've come here to shop for clothes, jewelry, sunglasses, or skincare products, I've found high-quality items and brands at very good prices. The store is a bit cluttered personally speaking, but it is always clean, and there are many employees constantly working to keep it organized and tidy. God bless you all, and see you soon.

This is probably one of the most chaotic Nordstrom rack locations I have ever been to. The line is…read moresimilar to that of a home goods and is always mobbed no matter what day or time you are there. I was here to pick up an online order which was decently efficient. However this inside of this location seemed a bit disorganized as there were boxes and bags everywhere. Also I've noticed these discount stores seem to allow everyone to bring their dogs in. I am a huge dog lover but your barking out of control doodle which is clearly not a trained service dog has zero business being in a store. There are ample amounts of clothes and shoes and accessories but it does take some time to sift through what you are looking for. I would say 60/40 of the store has a good deal if you are knowing where to look.
