OMG, the Jalea and the Ceviche at this place are amazing, also the fish stew and roast chicken. Very affordable; you pay half what the same meal would cost you in Manhattan.

This is a huge designer discount mall and the bus to it (about $4 each way) runs from right near me in Weehawken. Many of my European guests have happily shopped until they dropped there. It's all indoors, so great for a rainy day. Mostly clothing and accessories. No tax on clothing, better than Century or Woodbury.

I go to Manhattan for theater, ballet, concerts, the works. Ask me about tdf and the skint for excellent ticket discounts and listings of free and cheap things to do.
