    Came in the mall for children playground/indoor activities. Since it's Bergen county, all shops are closed for Sundays. Interesting to see the mall this empty. I do see cleaning crew going around. Thanks for them to keep place clean and tidy. Sundays the mall still offers food, restaurants, theater, kids activities. Sadly the massage place is closed. I will say limited things to do in this mall. Not as many selections like beauty stores, fashion stores, accessories or entertainments as weekdays/Saturdays. Regular price for all the services on Sundays. No discount.

    A good selection of stores here. My favorite are Apple, Lululemon, Aerie. A lot of dining options: Chikfila, Seasons 52, Grand Lux Cafe (reminds me of Cheesecake Factory) and Eddie V (have not tried it here but I have dined at another Eddie V in Florida). Always a good place to get your steps in. The Neiman Marcus is awesome with a Chanel.

    This mall is disappointing now. It used to be a lovely mall for young kids and families to shop and mosey. But it's become so upscale that it just doesn't fit the community anymore. It's a huge mall to sustain the pricey upscale shops. It is so empty so much. Never a crowd because it isn't the place to just "go shopping." This isn't the area where a mall where everything is so expensive is going to be popular with young and old alike. I really don't see this surviving much longer with this theme.

    This is a great mall, there are tons of stores ranging from budget friendly to high end luxury!!! So there is a great range of selection for everyone. There are a a lot of restaurants and there is a food hall on the lower level. There is a movie theater and several other attractions in this mall. When in NJ, I will definitely shop here again.

    An iconic mall in North Jersey. I've been going here for almost half of my life. GSP has undergone so many changes throughout the years, but I'd say it's still one of the best malls in NJ. It's in the center of everything and close to major highways like the parkway, route 4, route 17, etc. It's 2 levels and fairly easy to navigate. Parking: Parking has improved so much compared to 10 years ago. There's garages, valet, and lots surrounding the entire property. Shopping: Good mix of high-end luxury brands and popular retail chains. There are stores for clothing, accessories, shoes, electronics, makeup, body care, etc. Whether you're on a budget or ready to splurge $$$, you'll be able to find something. Dining: The food court and restaurants offer diverse cuisines. You have fast food, casual eateries, and fine dining options. Drawbacks? One of the biggest drawbacks is that it can get packed during the weekend and holidays. There tends to be a lottttt of noisy teenagers (mall rats, we were all there once lol). I try to avoid coming during those times. The bathrooms could use a lot of TLC. It reeks of urine. So badly. I can't even breathe properly... yikes. Some of the kiosk employees are super aggressive when trying to sell their products or services... so if you're not interested, just politely say "no thank you" and move on.

    Great mall. Always clean and has tons of options of stores - many more expensive luxury brands like Louis Vuitton to affordable finds at department stores like Macy's and Nordstrom. In addition to great shopping there are incredible food finds from fancier options like Eddie V's and Fogo de Chao to Chipotle and many dessert options from Haagen Dass to the luxury- feel Gelato experience at Venchi. Mall closed at 10 pm AND is open on Sundays while many other stores and malls in Bergen County close.

    This is a nice mall and owned by Westfield. It is very big with lots of stores that you have to rely on the directory to know where you are and where the store is. Luckily there are directories populated throughout the mall. The food court has a lot of options with Chick fil A, Chipotle, Five Guys, Fogo de Chao, Jerk Shack Grill, Shake Shack, and many more! This mall is very long and clean with lots of marble everywhere and nice pieces of artwork throughout the mall to make it extra elegant and nice to walk in. I thought the bathroom was very nice and elegant. It has a different changing table compared to most malls, there are two black leather mats across from each other with a disposable diaper trash can in the middle. It is not your ordinary flip open baby changing diaper station that you see in many public bathrooms. Many parking spots around the mall so you know you're not constantly harassing for an empty parking spot. Good thing about this mall is that it has an AMC movie theater! I love it when malls include a movie theater. What good way to enjoy a movie after shopping.

    I've been going to GSP for years, and I love that many of the stores from my childhood are still here. This mall has one of the most diverse selections of stores, making it easy to find gifts for anyone--or to treat yourself! There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, and the huge floorplan makes it enjoyable even for a casual walk.

    Nice mall . Plenty of shopping and eating options. Parking is a little confusing. Good eateries to choose from.

    Big selection of stores including Akira, Dr. Martens, Gucci & Warby Parker. This is in addition to flagship stores like Macy's & Nordstrom. There are many different price points, depending on the individual store you choose to visit. There is loads of parking including garage, handicap and valet.

    This is a cool mall because they have many stores and shops within the mall and they have a very cool theater which i watched sonic 3 in.

    I like this mall. Nice size with many stores. I like it since it has an Apple store, Nespresso Boutique, and Tesla. It's a good mall to do some walking. It's in a busy part of NJ, the traffic around the area is crazy. I used to go when it was just GSP, but now, it has Westfield's name everywhere. I would come back to spend more time in this mall next time. I just went to see Nespresso Boutique, since there is none around my area. I stopped by Tesla while I was walking around to ask some questions. I walked by the Apple store; it seemed to be larger than some other locations. Overall, this mall is very clean, and it looks busy, which is a good thing. Not like some other malls where half of the stores are empty.

    A big mall with two levels and an internal p layout where you can loop around. Lots of small shops and four big anchors plus an AMC theater that is massive. Food court open and packed and a lot of people at the mall overall. Parking and driving through the lot was miserable. They need to have some parking lot guides and around to manage traffic.

    Mall is great! Now that there is an arcade at Power Up Arena there is a great place for kids to go and have fun while parents shop.

    My Jimmy Choo Nightmare -- A Cautionary Tale I splurged over…read more$700 on a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals. Seven hundred dollars. For that kind of money, you'd expect exceptional quality, right? Wrong. I wore them exactly ONE time, and the sole was already worn down. One wear. Let that sink in. So I called their customer service, and that's where the real nightmare began. For two months -- TWO MONTHS -- they gave me the runaround. They refused to replace the shoes. They refused a refund. Eventually, after endless calls and emails, they graciously agreed to repair them for free -- even though at first they wanted to charge me for the repair of their own defective product. Then they handed the shoes off to UPS... and UPS lost them. For a month. After yet another month of back and forth, the shoes were finally repaired and returned. And the cherry on top? Their idea of compensation for this entire ordeal was -- wait for it -- a whopping 10% discount on my next purchase. My next purchase?! There will be no next purchase. Ever. Let me be clear: I paid luxury prices and received dollar-store customer service. Months of my time wasted, zero accountability, and an insultingly small discount as a "sorry." Shame on you, Jimmy Choo. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. If this is how you treat the people who spend hundreds of dollars on your brand, you don't deserve a single one of them. Save your money, friends. #JimmyChoo #NeverAgain #WorthCustomerService #LuxuryFail #ShameOnYou #CustomerServiceNightmare

    The Shops at Riversides provide mostly high ends brands in the mall. Pottery Barn, Jimmy Choo, LV…read moreetc. The price range is on the higher end. There are also many restaurants like Cheesecake Factory and True Food Kitchen. There's a ramen store coming in soon. In addition, you can enjoy some entertainment like AMC in the mall. Barnes and Nobles is another great place to visit for books and small items. Overall a great place to hang out for an afternoon or weekends. The staff are nice. It's very clean and spacious. Decoration is always sparkly.
