Midtown East - Raleigh, NC

Annie Dlugokecki HeadshotAt Midtown East, we boast the largest grocer in the state with Wegmans as an anchor — but our Thanksgiving story doesn’t end there," said Annie Dlugokecki, Leasing Agent. "The shopping center covers customers all the way from 'before' to 'after' their celebrations; hosts and guests alike can get dinner-ready with a blowout at the city’s only Drybar location, then find a perfect outfit at upscale Gatorbug boutique. I also love local Midtown Olive Oil for special oils and vinegars that elevate simple dishes. For the post-meal experience, guests can break a sweat at Club Pilates or Row House, and roadrunners can find the trendiest kicks at New Balance. If your post-Thanksgiving activity of choice is shopping with an eye to the winter holidays, Midtown East is a great place to start!

The Gallery at Westbury Plaza - Garden City, NY

Sean Mirkov HeadshotAs holiday shoppers begin to stock their pantry shelves and brainstorm gift ideas, a fantastic center where everything can be found in one place is The Gallery at Westbury Plaza, Long Island’s premier open-air shopping center," said Sean Mirkov, Leasing Agent. "Find Thanksgiving fixings at Trader Joes, then browse all the great merchants the center has to offer, from home decor via The Container Store, HomeGoods and Bassett Furniture, to great deals at Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy and Lands’ End. Fuel up with a holiday drink from Starbucks before stopping at Ulta for all cosmetic needs, then swing by Ruby and Jenna, Bloomingdales and Levi’s for trendy clothing staples. Before dealing with inevitable traffic, enjoy a meal at Spuntino Wine Bar, Shake Shack, Chop’t or Tocolo Cantina. For an incredible shopping experience during the holidays and year-round, The Gallery at Westbury Plaza is the place to be.

David Sherin HeadshotChimney Rock is Bridgewater's one-stop shop for a perfect day of holiday shopping," said David Sherin, Senior Leasing Agent.

To spruce up your holiday wardrobe, check out the incredible selections at Nordstrom Rack, Saks OFF 5th, Lands' End and Talbots. For lunch, dinner or a sweet treat in-between, enjoy community favorites like Habit Burger, Blaze Pizza and Chipotle Mexican Grill and Paris Baguette.
