Super cheap eat in or take out. A huge dinner of roast chicken, rice and beans, and plantains is under $4. Where the locals have been eating for 50 years. Great café con leche!

This is a huge designer discount mall and the bus to it (about $4 each way) runs from right near me in Weehawken. Many of my European guests have happily shopped until they dropped there. It's all indoors, so great for a rainy day. Mostly clothing and accessories. No tax on clothing, better than Century or Woodbury.
