Find out why New Yorkers cross the Hudson River for the best bargains! New Jersey is somewhat of a shoppers’ paradise, known for its malls throughout the Garden State. The variety of shopping venues, ranging from upscale boutiques and retail malls to outlets and flea markets, is especially appealing for tax-free clothing and shoes.
The Meadowlands Liberty region is a prime place to enjoy tax-free shopping. Close to New York City and convenient via public transportation, the Meadowlands Liberty hosts the Secaucus Outlets, with incredible savings at more than 100 designer and brand-name clothing, home furnishings and niche stores. Rutherford’s Downtown and The Shops at Lincoln Harbor offer unique, specialty shops. And Harmon Meadow is known for its range of shopping – from Mill Creek Mall to Plaza at the Meadows. Jersey Gardens at Jersey City is the largest indoor outlet mall. And trade zones in nearby Elizabeth not only have tax-free shopping on apparel… regular goods are half the NJ consumer tax rate at just 3%.
