Shopping in NYC? Best of all, at an outlet! For German customers, even the normal prices in the US are cheaper. But if you want to do some “real” shopping, then it’s best to go to an Outlet mallIf I pay 50-60 EUR for a Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt in Germany, it costs just 25 USD in an outlet.

Jersey Garden Outlet Mall
Although New York also has shopping malls, unlike New Jersey, there are additional taxes. Jersey Garden Outlet in Elizabeth can be reached by bus (Routes 111 & 115) twice an hour in 35 minutes from Manhattan (Port Authority). The one-way trip costs 6.50 USD. Upon arrival, foreigners can pick up a coupon booklet at the information desk upon presentation of their passport. This allows them to receive an additional discount in some stores. The store directory reads like the “Who’s Who” of the fashion industry: Abercrombie & Fitch, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria's Secret and many more.
