About Empire Outlets
Empire Outlets is a popular outdoor shopping center located on Staten Island with stunning views of Lower Manhattan and New York Harbor. It offers a variety of brand-name stores at discounted prices, including Nike, Gap, H&M, and Nordstrom, making it a good place for bargain shopping. The center has a modern, clean, and well-maintained appearance, with beautiful green rooftops and waterfront dining options. Visitors can enjoy picture-perfect views and a pleasant atmosphere while browsing through the stores and relaxing at the dining areas.
The outlet is conveniently accessible, especially for those arriving via the Staten Island Ferry or NYC Ferry St. George Route, with a free shuttle from Manhattan. Its location near SIUH Community Park and the Staten Island FerryHawks stadium makes it an appealing destination for both shopping and leisure. The center is manageable in size, allowing visitors to explore comfortably in less than half a day.
While the shopping experience is generally positive, some reviews mention that many stores are empty, and navigation can sometimes be challenging. The overall setting is modern and attractive, especially during special seasons like Christmas, with features like a large Christmas tree. However, it may not have the same extensive selection or buzz as larger outlet centers like Woodbury, making it ideal for those looking for quick, affordable shopping with scenic views.

Needs to have a few more businesses to take up empty units

It looks abandoned, unkept and there is litter. There is no free parking which is probably why no one shops here. The retail spaces are well designed and even overlook the stadium next door. The views of the Manhattan skyline and the freedom tower are beautiful though and raised my rating to 3 stars.

Potential to be great. Still half of the units are empty. But if you want Levis , Nike, H&M , old navy, etc then bargains are to be had. Nice Starbucks with plenty seating. Also cheapest Nathan's stall I found. $5.99 for basic dog!
