Kat Woman, the Woodbury Common Shopping Center is a good place to go and shop. However, the outlet center is located 47 miles (75km) northwest of Midtown, Manhattan, and a taxi ride from West 57th Street to the outlet center will cost you almost $120 each way.

There are 2 ways get there from West 57th Street.

Option 1: Bus

You can take either Gray Line New York or Short Line Bus from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to Woodbury Common. Both bus companies get you there and back in about 2 hours for a very reasonable price. I've include the link to both companies below.

Option 2: Train.

If you preferred to take the train. You can take NJ Transit from Penn Station to Harriman via Secaucus Junction. A shuttle bus will wait for you at Harriman station to take you form there to the outlet center.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck and happy shopping.

Answer 2

Take the train.

Answer 3

A taxi would cost probably 100-150$ each way. Its a good hour drive out of the city.

I would check into Metro North Trains. The hudson line probably has a station with a very short taxi drive, or possibly even walk of the outlet mall. Catch the train right at grand central.

Its worth a visit only if shopping is very important to you. If you have been to outlet malls before, this is nothing special.

Answer 4

It a little more than an hour's drive outside the city. You wouldn't be able to take a cab. You could probably find a bus that will take you out there. To be honest if you are visiting the city, I wouldn't bother going out there. It is pretty nice, you can find some good deals there for sure, just like any other outlet mall. You will get your fill of shopping here in the city.

Answer 5

I would not waste time visiting Woodbury Commons. It's a depressing little shopping mall, I believe it's in New Jersey. You have to take a weird bus to get there. I would definitely not go!!

Shop at Macy's instead. There are great bargains there!

Answer 6

If you're staying in Manhattan, a taxi to Woodbury Commons will cost you a small fortune. It's about 50 miles north of the city. It might be more cost effective to rent a car for the day - even with gas and tolls. (It's exit 16 off I-87 North.) A more reasonably priced option is to take a bus. Coach USA runs several buses all day long. (www.coachusa.com) They go from Port Authority right into the Commons. There are trains that run north, but it's a hassle with the PATH into Hoboken, then NJ Transit north to the Harriman train station and then a cab to the Commons.

As far as it being "worth a visit". It depends. If you have an open mind and are willing to browse a bit, you can pick up some good deals. But, if you have a specific item in mind that you're shopping for, you probably will not find it. Some of the outlets carry "seconds" - meaning the items are not perfect for firsts - the dye lot is half a shade different or something like that. Some sell last season's leftovers from the department stores. Many sell the same things as the current department stores - their buyers are allowed to go in the day after the department stores do. So, if you want to wander around and see what's available, it's a good day trip.
