if you are into brands — whether it’s a midrange one, like Gap or Banana Republic, or the higher-end houses, like Coach and Burberry — outlet malls seem like great places to splurge at a fraction of the cost.

Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Long Island Railroad (LIRR)
How to get around Long Island to NYC in a fast and convenient way. To get to and from Brentwood, you must take the Ronkonkoma line. Parking available at the train station for free. Recommended to get an uber or drive to the Airbnb since it is a 5 min. drive from the station.
Verkehrsmittel
Car
When traveling by car, be aware of your timing. Try not to get stuck in traffic on major highways like the Long Island Expressway (L.I.E.) or Southern during morning or evening commute.
My favorite road is to use the L.I.E since it has a HOV lane. If you have a clean certified car or have more than one person in the car, you can skip the traffic and get to your destination easily.
