Empire Outlets, spanning three city blocks on Staten Island’s waterfront, stands as New York City’s sole outlet mall. This expansive shopping complex features an outdoor plaza with dozens of retail storefronts and a variety of restaurants. One of its unique highlights is the live, green rooftops, which offer stunning views of Lower Manhattan. Visitors can spend hours exploring the shops, dining, and enjoying the scenic surroundings.
