The Galleria at White Plains

Oh god, I gotta remember that malls are way different in each city/​state.
Very clean, but the store selection wasn’t really great. They have your typical stores: H&M, Old Navy, Forever 21, etc. but I wanted more of J Crew, Banana Republic, Top Shop type stores.
The mall was rather small for it being a mall and all.
Now the massage place was amaze balls! $ 10 for 30 minutes of full body?! Get outta town. Yes, this is very true! It felt like a MMA fighter was on my back elbowing me, which I had to polity ask my masseuse to be more gentle. Poor little thing was nervous after that, I felt so bad, but that woman had some strong man muscles on her.
If you go to the mall, go to the massage place!

This mall has always been a all time favorite, even though I have outgrown this mall and like the The westchester better due to being older now. They have really redone the place.
I feel even though I am older there are still an appeal to it. I have gone to forever 21 and was sastified. It was very clean and not loud as you get with teen malls.

H&M, As Seen on TV and Victoria Secret are decent but this isn’t my favorite mall. Parking is cool because it’s covered but metered at a max of 3 hours. The food court is standard and the bathrooms are clean. For a quick shopping trip, sure. For hardcore wardrobe renovations, go to The Westchester.

Browsed here to kill some time. Glad they had a store where I can get the socks I like without having to go to the dreaded Long Island (it’d be dreaded to you as well if you had the history I did with that place). As far as malls go, I’d say it’s average. If they had a Chick-​Fil-​A, it’d be a lot better but I can say that about most malls. Walked into the Hot Topic here & realized I was so over that scene. Not the biggest mall but I can’t argue against the location & it is within safe walking distance of the White Plains MetroNorth station.

A few recognizable stores, but always someone rotating in and out. Cheap parking though.

Not nearly as bad as I thought It would be. The mall was clean and pleasant to walk around and they have some pretty decent shops in there. I rather enjoyed the 2 skateboarding shops which had a nice assortment of clothes and accessories.
As for eating options, the food court was pretty lame (as is the case with most malls), but they do in fact the only Taco Bell in the area which is great if you like to eat garbage like my chick does :)
Finally, while my experience overall was pretty good I have to say that around 12pm or so there was a noticable ‘atmospheric’ change when the mall suddenly had tens of homeless-​looking folks sitting in the complimentary chairs and hordes of teens being pretty loud and obnoxious. My kid was not impressed. The Westchester mall, this is not.
Three stars.

The mall is good for sales and everything is pretty cheap compared to the westchester mall. The people are so classless and ratchet. The food is generally disgusting. The bathrooms are now updated which are a little nicer. They used to be covered in pee and God knows what. A lot of perverted men lurk around the mall and check you out. They sit usually in the massage chairs. Creepy! Mall is suspicious, people are generally up to no good hanging outside or in the parking lots.

I was there several months ago on a business trip.
With time to kill i went to the local malls.
Did not have such a good selection of stores, Atl east not for me.
The mall was clean and had a nice lay out.
I did like the as seen on tv store & auntie annes’s pretzels, Other than that it was a wash.
As far as malls go it was ok, seemed to be geared more for the younger crowd

They have really turned the Galleria around. It’s gotten a lot cleaner and they have opened new stores. Also they replaced the escalators and the elevator. They have a sears and Macy’s which I like and there is a large old navy which I also really like. The food court has some good selections too.

If I could give this mall no stars I would. The stores are a mess, the escalators are perpetually out of service so if you don’t want to join the throngs of people waiting for the elevator you have to climb the stairs in the parking ramp to get to the next floor, the air conditioning is spotty. Did I mention the stores are a mess?! And then there are the stores themselves. Hypothetically Macy’s and Sears are fine, except they are here. Old Navy, H&M and others are the worst-​stocked, messiest stores I’ve seen. And then you have a fair number of places that sell clothes perfect for a night on the street corner. Yeah. BIG thumbs down.

Another Westchester mall that has seen much better days.
Boring, mundane clothing stores — one mimics the next.
Boring mundane jewelry stores — one mimics the next.
Spacious food court is the only thing that passes here.
Of note — Recent history shows behavior issues among the shoppers.
While I’ve never experienced this — its something that s/​b considered when visiting.
Best to move along…

A place where guys let their pants sag and females look like they just crawled out of bed and forgot to shower and change. Yes I’m serious! We’re talking PJs, hair scarves and even bedroom slippers what a sight to see while you shop! Even the indoor parking garage looks sketchy. No thanks I think I’ll pass!
***I bypass this mall whenever I’m in White Plains.***

I love the Galleria because I’m cheap and like the lower priced store options, but if you’re looking for a classy mall experience, do not go. It’s more for bargain shopping and has a younger crowd. Once in a while, you’ll see a fight break out, which can either be horrifying or exciting depending on who you are. Don’t eat the food though because they have mice running around the food court. Great location though!

I went to the Galleria Food Court today to get a McDonald’s fix (Check the secret in my profile) and while sitting at a table in the upper area overlooking Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, a MOUSE walked (not ran) under my table and took his leisurely tour of the floor and moved on to the next table. YUCK!

This mall has really turned around. I returned to the mall after not being there for about a year and they have added some awesome stores. Famous Footwear, Garage, Blink Fitness, StrideRite, iFix and Rapair, Foreverv21 expanded, Rue21, PS by Aero, Vans and Zumiez just to name a few. The environment is much safer and the food court has so many options. If you haven’t been there in a while, I suggest you go back as see what has been done. I see that they are also in the process of replacing all of the escalators in the mall.

This is an OK mall and I stop in from time to time.
But really I prefer The Westchester. It’s a much nicer mall with many more stores, minus the seedy baby thug/​food stamp atmosphere.
Really, I only came in here last time because I had a box of old cell phones and there’s an ecoATM machine on the food court. Otherwise, I can take it or leave it.
Once again, you’ll usually find me over at The Westchester.

It’s White Plain’s mall I grew up with. However, as I grew up, I moved onto the Westchester.
It’s still good for a quick bite or impulse buy though.

This past Christmas, we literally came here every other week to shop for sneakers for the boyfriend. The trick is, come here as soon as the mall opens, which is at 8am. That’s when those rowdy kids are still sleeping, after 12pm though, make your way to the exits. From 8am to 12pm, you can do all your shopping peacefully, it’s definitely worth waking up early on a Saturday.
BTW, there’s really nothing special in this mall, just your basic, sears, macys, h&m, forever 21 and then there’s the sneaker stores, footaction, foot locker and jimmy jazz. If you’re looking for a «fancier» mall, then you’ve come to the wrong place.

If a Walmart were split into a bunch of small stores, then it got together and had a baby with a flea market and a Dollar Tree, you’d have the Galleria.
Many of the smaller stores are fly-​by-​night businesses that have taken over vacant storefronts and done little to change the looks of any of them. You can tell exactly what used to be a Gap, what used to be a Gloria Jean’s, etc. None of the vendors plan to stay long enough to bother updating the décor.
If you’re in the area and absolutely must visit a Sears or an extremely sub-​par Macy*s, it’ll do. Even then, it’s an awful Macy*s. If that store is your main focus, consider taking the trip to Cross County, where the Macy*s has been refurbished and is very well appointed.
Anyway, back to The Gonorrhea of White Plains — er, I mean the Galleria: Given both the roachiness and the non-​nutritive nature of the food court, I’d recommend you stay away.
Finally, make sure you’ve allowed ample time on your parking meter. If you’re a nanosecond late, the parking gestapos are gonna get’cha. Count on it.
(The only reason it gets two stars instead of one? The White Plains Mall, just a block away … THAT, my friends, is a one-​star mall.)

This place was the SHIT back in the 1990s. My sister and I used to beg our parents to drive us up there. There were good restaurants, great stores, and an awesome Santa set up.
What the balls happened?
Stores are closing one after the other. The Friendly’s closed many years ago. A seafood buffet called Todai was short lived. The once sample-​laden, prominent food court is merely a shadow of itself.
There are barely any good stores. Even the Torrid, the only one in this area, blows. Poor selection, high prices. I will spend hours at this mall to come back with only one or two bags.
To make it worse, they CLOSED CINNABON to EXPAND FOREVER 21.
WHY WOULD YOU TAKE CINNABON AWAY FROM ME?
Are you trying to tell me that if I lay off the ‘bons, I’ll fit into more clothes?
Anyway, my assumption is that they lost business, not to the Westchester, but to Palisades, and Woodbury Commons.
