Woodbury Common is worth the trip if you've enough time in NY. It will take a complete day and is approximately an hour outside NY. The bus is about €38 return per person from the Port Authority. Alternatively you can rent a car which works out quite cheap or hire a limo for the day for around $400. WC is better than Jersey Gardens if you're looking for top-end brands...Gucci, Hugo Boss, Armani, Juicy Couture, Fendi etc. Plus there's the usual stuff-Levis, Timberland, Quicksilver etc. We generally go once a year for four days-spend one in WC and get a limo out there. Spend one shopping in Manhattan, another going around sightseeing etc and then keep one day free just to chill out and catch a Broadway show one of the nights. Century 21 was good a few years ago but has gone downhill. It's chaotic at best but aside from that the 'outlet' concept has been slightly perverted and it's not just there. Originally outlets were for last years stock or excess stock...the product was still top quality in other words. But now manufacturers, realising they can get retail prices for their product, are manufacturing product specifically for outlet stores. That product is not the same quality as their 'mainstream' stuff which keeps their big customers appeased. So the designer socks you buy in Century 21 may have the little logo on them but they will not be the same as the ones you buy in say BT's. One to watch out for.
