Typical suburban mall with plenty of parking. Sadly most of the smaller stores have closed either…read moredirectly due to covid or for lack of business in general. Other than the anchor stores such as target, Dicks, Best Buy there isn't much else. Even the old navy looks like it is closing.

The landscape has beautiful plants & flowers surrounded by park benches and tables. On a Saturday afternoon you might find an event. We happen to walk into a book-fair.

What happened to Ithaca Commons? Depressed. Vacant storefronts. Homeless people. Nothing to bring…read morein the tourists who visit the local colleges. Did not spend much time here after hearing from everyone we had to visit all the shops and walk around. It's nice there is no vehicular traffic in the pedestrian mall but there isn't much to see or go into. Ithaca Commons should be bustling with shops, clean, and a happening location. Hopefully, the Commons can turn around soon because it is an eye sore. We spent much more in Watkins Glen which was about 45 minutes to an hour away. Much more vibrant community with great views of Seneca Lake.

There's nothing premium about these outlets. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. It's the…read moremost average set of typical outlet mall stores in a sort of below average set of buildings. The contents of the stores are the same as you'd find anywhere, but the atmosphere is unappealing and a little despondent. Out of all the Premium Outlets I've visited this one has probably been the most meh. The various store employees were mixed. There were some that were helpful, and other that sort of helped begrudgingly like they were doing you a favor. The upsides are that there is a lot of parking available, you're probably not going to have to deal with lines, and the stores all seemed well-stocked. The Shake Shack is not in the outlet mall, it's on the other side of the highway.

Not to be confused with Amoury Square, which is full of love, rather than old buildings…read more This is surprisingly but unequivocally one of the most beautiful town squares in the country (not in winter). Syracuse downtown is extremely underrated (not in winter) and it's absolutely gorgeous (not in winter), and if you should ever have the chance to wander around here (not in winter) and check out the incredible beauty of this city (not in winter), this is probably where you should start (but not in winter).

Bars, Restaurants, Museum, a Shot Clock, yes Armory Square has it all, heck I even met my soon to…read morebe wife there. The establishments range from low brow to high class with college kid meat markets like Daisy Dukes to some pretty serious eats like Pascale's and Lemon Grass. Late night the close the street to traffic so you can make the stumble to your next bar. A number of the food places are open late (I would seriously suggest Nick's Tomato Pie) and in the summer, the Night's in Syracuse are perfect for out door drinking. If you want a good beer, Blue Tusk is your place. A ton of beer on tap plus outdoor seating. Awful Al's is a cigar bar and one of the few places in Upstate New York that allows indoor smoking. Empire Brewery brews their own and generally has some pretty good music. Syracuse Suds Factory also brews their own, though not quite as good as Empire, however the large space and lack of crowds tends to make this my default starting spot for a night out.

The mall could use some TLC, but it's still alive and kicking. If you look passed the closed and…read moreempty stores there's still people at the mall and they're still shopping at the small businesses that dot it's campus. The mall itself also hosts a lot of events, including food truck rallies, craft faires, orchestral concerts etc. They have Santa and the Easter bunny that visit for the holidays. Whilst it isn't your typical mall, it's interesting to see so many small businesses take over a space... Also, if you like thrifting--this is a must stop. Plenty of parking, calm interior, great place to take the kids.

Not a whole lot of anything here, but Bass Pro Shop is always a hit. We also bring our daughter to…read morethe arcade and to the knock off build-a bear store where you can dig through the discount bin and build-a-whatever for $5! :) You're welcome. I've heard there used to be a cool ice skating rink upstairs! Still has a movie theater and a smoothie and pizza shop... mostly all dead stores, though, but not an overly populated spot to walk around. I grew up in the "hang out at the mall" era, and I wish it would make a comeback!

Massive shopping plaza with all kinds of restaurants and goodies that you will find located in Binghamton New York in the suburb of Vestal, which is about 3 miles to the west of downtown and I guess pretty bleak for like 7 months a year - but the same can be said about anywhere in this region and anywhere in the Great Lakes for that matter. It's definitely great for the University students to have so many things located in one Plaza, or for anyone who doesn't drive for that matter, and people who want to take a bus and do all your shopping in one proverbial fell swoop. This is a great destination because there are literally so many options for eating and shopping in here. Parking isn't bad, but you might have to walk a little bit for some of the more popular stuff.

I have to admit, it's been a while since I've been to a mall. The Eastview Mall stood out, because…read morethe last few times I've been, various malls have been emptying out with slim offerings.

Eastview has always been know as a higher standard when it comes to shopping options... apple, Williams Sonoma, ll bean, Eddie Bauer, Hollister, Sephora to name a few.
