4 Health Conscious Ways to Enjoy The Staten Island Waterfront at Empire Outlets

8/10/2020

0 Comments

 
The Summer of 2020 will long be remembered for putting a cramp in everyone's social style, particularly in New York City and the surrounding outer boroughs. State mandated social distancing and safety regulations have resulted in the inability to frequent many indoor eating and shopping facilities. However, on State Island, the waterfront Empire Outlets, New York City's first and only outlet destination, has figured out a way to bring back some fun for locals and visitors with its Free new programming on-site.

Beginning August 1, families, wellness seekers and anyone looking for ways to spend a lovely summer day can enjoy four new FREE wellness activities surrounded by Staten Island's iconic water views. W
ith its nearly four acres and 350,000+ square-feet of open-air, outdoor space located along the North Shore waterfront, Empire outlets has created four ways to fill up your calendar throughout the week this summer. And yes, this includes shopping! As the Staten Island Advance recently reported, “as indoor malls wait for green light to reopen, Empire Outlets offers health-conscious outdoor shopping.”
 
Check out these delicious, recreational, and healthy options at EO:

​Empire Outlets started welcoming back guests during NYC’s Phase 2 Reopening on June 22. Revised hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm, while Sunday’s hours are 11 am to 7 pm. During this new normal, Empire Outlets continues to implement its new social distancing and health safety protocol, following the guidelines of health and elected officials.
