Newport mall needs an upgrade. It feels like a half-ghetto Short Hills. Its weird because part of me likes half of it (luxury part/decent stores), but there's another side of it that feels isolated and tacky. Better to take the PATH and shop at Century 21 than to get clothing from Newport mall.
They definitely made a lot of mistakes with Newport, but they learned a little bit because Shore Club/Aquablue/Laguna at least have base retail. However, they are killing themselves because they must have the rent way too high. All the stores are overpriced and many spots are not being leased. Laguna retail has been empty for almost two years now.

Also the whole meter parking there kills me. Just make it free street parking all around.
