Fall has arriiiived and our love of gift giving, harvests, and glittering interiors has resurfaced with joy. 

We’re trading in our summer spritz for craft beer and sausage, stocking up on fall fashion to return to offices and schools, and ready to up our skincare game for the cool breeze. 

And while there’s no better place to do it then The Shops at the Oculus, it can take some planning to conquer all this shopping, food and drink mecca has to offer. For the new openings, deals and events to be on the lookout for this month, read on:

Shopping and Retail

As the seasons change (and we’re no longer regulated to our all sweats pandemic wardrobe), a lot of us are itching to update our look. The shops at the Oculus have you covered, with all new fall fashion lines at H&M, COS, Banana Republic and more.

It’s also a great time to update your skincare at Aesop for the weather change, or try a new makeup look, with Sephora’s in-store application service. 

And, if you’re seeking some gym motivation in the cooler weather, Under Armour may have just the fit to get you doing double days. 

Mobile pay, click & collect, and after pay are all available at select retailers, and the Shops at the Oculus site have all the deals and offers available across their 70 stores, updated in real time. So go ahead, treat yourself to that new back to work Longines watch.

Downtown NYC's newest beer garden is stocked with a myriad of locally loved craft beers, from Coney Island Mermaid Ale to Brooklyn Lager.
