Newport Centre

I love how the mall is so spacious and has many stores. My favorite place to go is AEO, Spencer’s, H&M, Vans and Zumiez! It’s a lot cleaner than before and they really did a good job with their new staff. The food court has a wide variety of food and their greatest opening was Chick Fil A. This is like my home.

this place is like my second home. i come here because i work here and even when I’m not working i still come here. this place has a pretty good variety of stores. And now they have chick fill a and everything is perfect now. its easy to get here and they have a large food court. i can find everything i need in this mall. There cinema is amazing their chairs are truly feel like comfort of my home. i recommend this place for shopping, dining or just hanging out with friends.

I hate the fact that you have to pay for parking. It’s not even worth it. They need to get rid of Jimmy Jazz and this mall doesn’t need to have two GameStops. This mall also has too many hair salons. This mall needs to put the Apple Store and A Makeup Forever store.

I had no idea what to expect during today’s adventure to the Newport Mall in Jersey City. I have never been there until now.
The trip was fairly easy from where we live, take the 6 train, the R train, then PATH train. Clean station at Jersey City. Clean city streets walking over to the mall! Traffic lights at crossings. We felt comfortable. I looked back and I saw water and buildings. I told my daughter there’s the city. She said «no that’s probably downtown Jersey City!» Then she did a double take and said «yeah that is the city»! I said we’re just across the river. From where we live, we thought we traveled far when in fact we could see Manhattan.
It was easy to access the mall entrance. The mall has either been renovated or it is brand new. Such a beautiful setting with the feel of being inside a giant atrium.
We easily found a sign with a brochure listing the stores. I’m not the shopper. I love to look. I get my exercise chasing the kid from store to store. Both of us wide eyed looking at colors, textures, price tags and more. I’m trying to check in while she’s nagging me to stop taking pictures. I want to capture my first visit!
The mall lay out is overwhelming to say the least. We easily accessed the second floor from Macy’s and Kohl’s. When we were on the second floor we found it difficult to find an escalator back down without going back into a major department store. I’m hoping it gets easier each visit as we learn the mall lay out.
The mall has a lot of food choices at the food court. I used the bathroom in Kohl’s. It looked new and clean, no crowds. In fact we did not have a congested/​closed in feeling the whole day.
At the end of our day my daughter had a big smile. She said she enjoyed coming here much better than the bus ride to Wayne Park and Ride. We both agreed the atmosphere is different. Wayne feels like small town whereas in Jersey City we felt like we really didn’t leave the city. That’s not a bad thing. We just didn’t feel we went away on a day trip like you do when you take a long bus ride! Transportation is much less expensive for us now.
This is a beautiful clean mall with much to see. We are looking forward to our next visit.
For those of you that live close, or tourists that enjoy the mall shopping experience, I highly recommend. Maybe we can get together for a ladies Unilocal lunch. There’s a badge I want to earn! I need a check-​in partner!

I grew up coming to this mall. What upset me the most is my favorite store is gone. They add another worthless clothing store as if there’s not enough clothing store for the skinny people. Like I don’t know this mall is upsetting since there’s barely any «plus size» stores. Like in reality face the facts people. Not everyone is a size small to large.

I definitely love the look of the mall, and how close it is to the PATH train. The movie theatre will have posters saying «now playing» but it won’t even be showing at this theatre! For the food court, Sarku Japan always has a long line, so beware. Avoid the pasta at Sbarro!”

Hate this mall. Every store sells items all above market price. This mall is not what it used to be, It’s only a hook up/​hang out place for teenagers.

I grew up in Jersey City so I know this mall very well, The place had gone through renovations lately to have it up to standards with other malls in the area. They have a nice selection of stores to shop but the worst is paying for parking. It sucks that you have to pay for parking to shop at a mall because most malls provide you with parking. I understand why they did it because people will park and take the train to New York. However, if you make a purchases at least 25 dollars or something they should waive the parking fee. They are the very few malls that charge for parking so its discouraging to shop here.
The food courts was recently renovated as well with a little but more seating. However, lunch time is when all the corporate folks come and eat so it get pretty busy. I usually go to Macy’s here because sometimes you can find a bargain. Oh yeah, Cheesecake factory one of my favorite restaurants just moved here too so its improving a bit. A lot of high school kids come here during the evening and weekends as its easily accessible by bus and train. Its a okay mall but the parking sucks.

They have a Chic-​Fil-​A now, that’s all I really like about this mall.
It’s actually fairly clean and an easy stop on the light rail, but it’s just an awful experience. It’s always over crowded, no matter what time of the day or day of the week. There are so many unsupervised kids, more than most malls anywhere. And at night, sorry I just don’t feel safe over here. The stores are nothing that great and really I only come here if I absolutely have to and don’t have time to drive to another mall or go into the city. You have to pay to park so I never drive here.
The only time I came out of this mall not regretting coming was after Sandy and I parked my car in the lot to save it from flooding.

Couldn’t find the Unilocal business page for The Threading Station inside Newport Centre. I guess I’ll also review the mall since I’m here. I used to come to this mall when I was younger/didn’t have a car because its super convenient if you take the PATH. Now, if you drive here, it’s super annoying because of Jersey City traffic, closure of Pulaski Skyway, and the fact that you have to pay for parking. But hey, for anyone who lives in Jersey we have to deal with parking/​traffic issues – might as well accept them. This mall also has a Lush, Teavana, and G-​Star Raw stores. I mention this because it’s hard for me to find these stores throughout NJ.
As for The Threading Station, I have tried other locations and have had bad experiences. I guess it’s partly because I’m super picky about my eyebrows. So I usually deal with the traffic/​parking fee and get them done at Newport. This lady is really good, I wish I could say cheap but not really. Its $ 12 plus tip. I remember the good ol’ days when eyebrows were $ 5.

i am done with this mall. it’s just awful. every store here is run by people who are unmotivated, unincentivized, and straight up don’t give a shit. you have to beg for a fitting room, beg for someone to take your money REGARDLESS of how long the line is or isn’t, and HEAVEN FORBID you need a size you can’t find. forget about it. take shopping and make it as stressful as possible, and you find yourself the newport mall.
i’m not talking about one store in particular. this experience has been recurring in pretty much every single store where i have tried to shop, with little to no exception.
i heard a while ago that there were plans to tear down this mall and rebuild something else and i say DO IT JERSEY CITY.
also — today i saw a woman take her cup that was still at least half full of ice and liquid and throw it on the ground RIGHT IN FRONT of the trash can, making a huge mess everywhere. she couldn’t be bothered to move the extra 1.5 inches it would have taken to actually properly dispose of it. If this doesn’t give you an idea of the clientele you encounter here, i don’t know what else to say.

Shit place to shop at always long lines not enough cashiers jam pack floors with stuff to the point u cant get around …

They have AMPLE parking, that does cost. I am not a fan of that, I believe it should be free. But in any case, you can never ever say you couldn’t find parking because the parking garage is HUGE!
There is an array of stores. Preferably ones that I like to shop at. So this mall did right by me.
I like the location, and I would definitely come back to shop here again. I may try to find parking elsewhere that is close by, and free.

As a whole in the past, Newport was very trashy, yes trashy ! I’m only 19, and I didn’t like people of my generation acting like maniacs and causing delinquency at the mall, I simply avoided them. At 16, I began working at the mall at American Eagle Outfitters. I saw that throughout three years the entire mall has flipped from becoming a trashy mall to a pretty decent place. They added over 20 new stores. They’ve closed and reopened certain stores as for say, Victoria’s Secret to be redone. They’ve renewed the entire food court and theatre and even added a chick Fila. They also added Cheesecake Factory and the mall as a whole has became pretty well entirely. It’s calmed down and overall I believe it’s a great mall to shop in and take your family as well.

This rating is only for the Santa Claus experience I had with my daughter. I’ve been hearing malls are not doing their Christmas and Santa Claus stuff this year. Fortunately for me, Newport Mall of Jersey City hasn’t gone over the dark side yet. I was still able to go and bring my daughter (for the first time) to take a picture with Santa. Very convincing looking Santa Claus. Much nicer set-​up than the ones I’ve seen so far around the area. Their helper staff are nice and cordial. I’ve seen some kiosks with non-​smiling staff that doesn’t look inspiring. Overall was a great experience. I recommend going there for Hudson County.

I went to Aldo yesterday to pick up my boots I ordered online. There were two sales associates. One of them was polite and friendly and the other one was not. Unfortunately, I did not get their names but I remembered what they were wearing. One of the sales associate was wearing a hat and the other was wearing a pink shirt. My mom asked for a bigger bag for the headband I bought. The sale associates with the hat got frustrated and gave my mom attitude. I didn’t say anything to her but replied «Have a nice day» in a very friendly tone. My mom wanted to go back to purchase gloves. I said NO! I would rather go to the OTHER ALDO accessories store.
We went to the OTHER ALDO accessories store and purchased gloves. My mom asked the sale associate if she can have a bigger bag. With out hesitation she gave my mom a bigger bag with NO attitude! I understand working in retail is not easy especially around the holiday but there should be professionalism for customer service. I expected a lot more from ALDO. I was very disappointed. I would understand if it was packed with customer but it was empty so there should be no excuses.

A year ago, I had a bad experience at Newport. I saw some teenagers acting up and using the n-​word. I vowed that I would never return. However, I decided to give it once last chance. The mall has definitely improved. They fixed up the 3^rd floor food court– It used to look so decrepit. There are even outlets to charge electronic devices. The food court has most fast food restaurants that you would find in a typical mall– Popeyes, Subway, Panda Express, and the usual variety of ethnic food, including a restaurant that serves sushi. Johnny Rockets, which is a more formal establishment, is also located in the food court. The food court even has a Chik-​Fil-​A (I have mixed feelings about this. And before you ask, I’m straight). McDonald’s and Starbucks are located in other parts of the mall. One of my favorite restaurants, Cheesecake Factory, is opening in the mall.
Newport also renovated the entrance to the AMC theater. I’ve noticed that they removed the arcade machines– probably an attempt to discourage teens from loitering. The rest of the mall has stores that you would find in most other malls– Brookstone, Champ Sports, Foot Locker, Forever 21, FYE, GameStop, and Macy’s (I like FYE since they sell DVD’s for a cheap price). There’s also a Kohl’s in the mall. Kohl’s is essentially a less expensive Macy’s. On the first floor, there’s a vendor that sells hoverboards (disclaimer: It is illegal in NYC, though the cops rarely enforce that law). And unlike Roosevelt Field, there was a Christmas tree when I went there on the day before Thanksgiving.
The teenagers at the mall weren’t as obnoxious as when I went there last time. The corridor from the mall to the light rail is still a little sketchy– I saw a panhandler there. It shouldn’t deter you from coming to the mall– you should just exercise common sense. In the vicinity of the mall are hotels, office buildings, and restaurants. There’s also a small park near the Hudson River. A few blocks away is a shopping center with a Target, Staples, and Modell’s.

Poor mall for me C– at best! Parking is horrible, getting in and out can be a nightmare! I hate that you have to pay to park in this mall and the lines at the machines are always long.
The stores do not have the best selection of merchandise as other malls in NJ. People are loud and rude. I really do not see any redeeming features in this mall.

It’s nice to have a movie theater and food court walking distance from my apartment, along with some of the other shops like the two Gamestop’s and Macy’s. While aesthetically nice and relatively modern, I do not consider it high quality at all. As it is the only large shopping area in Jersey City, it tends to get over run with a little more urban crowd, especially in the afternoons. On one occasion, while visiting the rest rooms, I walked in on two men in one stall, and one continually said «Don’t worry, I’ll talk you through this.» Either I overheard the not-​so-​discrete planning of a heist or walked in on two guys in the throes of love-​making.
If you care to make a 20 – 30 minute drive into almost any direction in Jersey, you can find better quality malls in Paramus, Bergen or Secaucus.

It is a decent mall with over 100 stores. It is near the PATH and various transit, making it pretty convenient to those living nearby and commuting between cities.
I did not walk the entire mall the few times I was there but it has pretty much everything I am interested in. Macy’s, Sephora, Bath & Body Works, H&M, Victoria’s Secret… Throw in the cinema and you could pretty much spend half a day here.

One of my favorite malls, that Ive been coming to since I was a kid. It has really stepped its game up in terms of stores, the quality of stores, and overall architecture. I mean after going to BJs then passing by here, I always can spend the day just roaming around. Love the Gap store here and Carol’s Daughter.
1 star off for the parking garage tbh.

I always had a love/​hate with this mall. It’s convenient to where I lived but that’s about it. Over the years, they have been updating it and bringing in new stores so I give them that. But I never liked the crowd that was in there and I guess that’s not really the malls fault.
Sephora is great and everyone was always helpful to me in there. I like their American Eagle and always went there every trip. They have H&M, a few sneaker/​shoe stores, starbucks, Michael Kors, Forever 21, Franchesca’s Closet, Limited, Macy’s, etc. They don’t have the widest selection — I know what I can get from there and when I need to go to a different mall.

I LOVE THIS MALL!
Every time we have been to NYC we have had to go to Newport Mall. Last time we even stayed 5 blocks from Newport Mall It has everything!
We enjoyed the food court — Panda Express yummy! And we went so many times to AMC
The mall is really a nice place to hang out.

Newport Centre has come a long way over the last couple of years. It was kinda rundown for awhile but with the development of the waterfront the mall kept up.
Most of the hat and sneaker stores are gone and have been replaced with The Loft and Michael Kors. It is kept quite clean and is a lot safer than the past. No more roving gangs. :)
The food court has been updated with new vendors. It does always seem to be in construction though.
I loathe malls amd crowds and only go when I have to or my wife tells me. Newport never feels super packed.
The Sears side of the mall still needs some work. Old and outdated.
Have Fun

I live about 5 blocks away and I will only come here if I absolutely have to.
There are a good amount of stores (with mall basics like H&M, Forever 21, Footlocker, Auntie Ann’s, etc.), but it’s not a very relaxing place to walk around honestly. Maybe it’s the weird layout. It’s like a long T; not very conducive to strolling.
The food court has a lot of options though.

I’m sorry, but there are just a few essential stores I need to have in a mall. And Newport Centre lacks one of them. Zara. I’m not sure how there’s not a Zara in this mall, but there’s possibly every other store there except that one. I buy all my dresses from there, so I’m a bit disappointed that it won’t be my go-​to store anymore. Positives are that there’s an H&M, Lush Cosmetics, Sephora, Kohl’s, Macy’s Forever 21, pretty much anything you can think of.
The only thing I really can’t get over is the food court. Holy crap, it’s horrendous. I’m not sure if they plan on redoing the layout, but it’s like a freaking maze! I get that the restaurants are all against the wall and the seating is in the middle. But there are random blocked passages along the way and dead ends, it almost makes it impossible to get where you want to go. The food court is too big for its’ own good.
Overall, I’m sure I’ll come here more often, but I’m not sure if I’m going to enjoy it.

This mall has definitely changed from what it used to be when I was in HS. (ummm.we won’t mention how many years ago that was)
A lot of new stores have opened up here through the years and that’s what keeps me coming back like LUSH which is a store you can not find in every mall.
They’re always renovating their stores as well which is nice.
Starbucks recently opened up at this mall as well.
The Macy’s «impulse» section in cosmetics carries more brands than other big malls in NJ.
This mall is also right next to NYC in case you needed to pick up something quick before heading to the City.
