New York City Now Has Its First-Ever Outlet Center | Listen Up

New Yorkers have a new shopping destination now that the city’s first-ever outlet center has officially opened its doors on Staten Island.

Empire Outlets at the St. George Waterfront allows shoppers to enjoy retail outlets, green public open spaces, art installations and dining all in one space across 340,000 square feet.

Later this summer, a 40,000-square-foot food and beverage deck with views of Manhattan, will open with dozens of food concepts including MRKTPL, Staten Island's first-ever artisanal food hall.

"The opening of Empire Outlets is a historic day for Staten Island and for BFC Partners," said Donald Capoccia and Joseph Ferrara, Principals of BFC Partners, developers of the property. "We set out to revolutionize the shopping experience in New York City and we are proud to have successfully created a unique and unforgettable shopping destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world."

Today in New York's Lauren Scala also reports on how New Yorkers feel about a de Blasio presidential bid and a new feature for Uber.
