Woodbury Common is an outdoor outlet: like a village, only every house is a store. And there are hundreds of stores, along its avenues, boulevards and squares. In addition to the 50% and 70% discounts you'll find at the New York outlet, taking a trip to Woodbury Common from New York gives you a card with additional discounts to use at many, many luxury brands.

There you will find luxury brands such as Prada, Saint Laurent, Burberry, Armani, Balenciaga, Dior... So up to 220 stores in total, spread between restaurants and cafes as a shopping mall. It is about an hour from New York and the best way to get there is to take a day trip to Woodbury Common, which will save you from having to organize the round trip and will also give you some discounts to spend the day shopping.

Out of the total 220 stores, I've made a selection of the most well-known and the ones you're most likely to be interested in for your New York outlet excursion. Here is a list in alphabetical order:

Woodbury Common Hours

The Woodbury Common outlet is open every day of the year with the exception of December 25th and Thanksgiving Day. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but on some holidays these hours may change, so check the schedule for the day you plan to visit the outlet in New York.

Where to eat in Woodbury Common

Woodbury Common is huge, so I advise you to spend the day there and this Outlet tour from New York is a good way to do it. You can take advantage of the visit to eat at one of several typical American chain restaurants such as McDonald's, Starbucks, Shake Shack and Chipotle, and take the opportunity to have a coffee or a spectacular chocolate at the luxurious Godiva Cafe.

Another option is to carry some food in your backpack from New York, in case you are going to burn your credit card in the stores!

Best day of the week to visit the New York City Outlets

To avoid the crowds, go on weekdays and early in the day. This will not only allow you to have a quieter day, but you will also find more products in the stores and you won't have to run to get the best bargains.

Best time of the year to visit the New York Outlets

Actually, any time of the year is a good time to visit the Woodbury Common outlet, considering that all the stores are, obviously, well air-conditioned. But if there is one time of the year when shopping makes the most sense, it is during the Christmas season, when you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy all your gifts there.

If what worries you is to coincide with sales periods, forget it: there at any time of the year there are offers and discounts on all brands.

Alex's Traveller Tip

Try to use all the discounts you can included in your VIP card, to which you can accumulate the discounts on the Woodbury Common website.

Shopping lovers, in addition to visiting Woodbury Commons, should not miss this complete shopping tour of New York: The Hamptons, Sag Harbor and an outlet or this other shopping tour of the Garment District.
