Quiz: Do You Really Know the Best Malls in NYC?

From the architectural marvels of Manhattan to the hidden gems of the boroughs. Prove you are a true retail expert.

New York City is the undisputed fashion capital of the world. But while tourists flock blindly to Times Square, the true New York Shopaholic knows that the city’s retail landscape is far more complex—and rewarding.

We are talking about the Temples of Consumption.

From the glass-and-steel cathedrals of Hudson Yards to the historic corridors of Chelsea Market; from the luxury waterfronts of Brookfield Place to the only true outlet destination within the five boroughs. The shopping malls of New York are not just places to buy; they are architectural landmarks, dining destinations, and cultural hubs.

But how well do you actually know them?

Do you know which mall sits inside the “Oculus,” the most expensive train station ever built?

Can you identify the legendary department store that takes up an entire city block?

Do you know where the savvy locals in Queens and Brooklyn go to avoid the Manhattan markups?

It takes more than a credit card to master New York shopping—it takes knowledge.

The Challenge: We have selected the Top 20 Malls and Shopping Centers across NYC. Some are icons of luxury, others are fortresses of bargains. Only a true New Yorker (or a very well-traveled tourist) can score 100% on this test.
