Sustainability and Environmental Policy

As a Simon Property, Newport Centre participates in corporate-wide sustainability initiatives.

Useful Tips for Visitors

• • • TAX-FREE CLOTHING: The main draw for New Yorkers. New Jersey has 0% sales tax on clothing and shoes, offering an immediate discount on all purchases.

  .

  • PATH Train Access: This is the easiest way to get here from NYC. Take the PATH train from WTC (Oculus) or 33rd St (Herald Sq) to the Newport stop. The mall is connected via a skybridge.
  • A “Real” Mall: This is a classic, 3-level American mall experience, which is rare in Manhattan. It’s a great option for a rainy day.

* Food Court: The mall has a large, third-floor food court with many classic, affordable options (Sbarro, Chick-fil-A, etc.).

• Visit the Waterfront: After shopping, walk 5 minutes east to the Newport waterfront for stunning, unobstructed views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline.

Fun Facts

• The “Newport” community, where the mall is located, is a master-planned neighborhood that includes residential towers, parks, and office buildings.
