Brookstone

Paramus Park mall is one of a few malls in Paramus. I love it because it is not huge like Garden state mall but still offers a wide variety of stores. Among my favorites is Yankee Candle and Build a Bear. It also has some of the larger "anchor" stores like Macy's, Old Navy, and Sears. This mall also offers one of my favorite restaurants- Bensi's. Fantastic Italian (i suggest the Pizza or the meatball Parmesan hero as two of my favorites). There is a play area outside the Lego stores for the kids to play in. And in the center of the mall near the food court (which is upstairs) there is a new little fountain/pool where they sometimes have remote control boats being demoed near the holidays. Parking is pretty good and you are never really too far away. And this mall is quieter then garden state which I find very appealing. more

Brookstone has been a staple in the Paramus Park mall for as long as I can remember. It has a wonderful "TRY ME" feel that allows people to wander the store's layout and try just about anything that it sells. The main attractions are the Tempur-Pedic beds and the massaging chairs. People come into Brookstone to try out the things they cannot afford--myself included. The staff is extremely patient considering some people hang out in the store simply to get a free massage in a $2000 chair. Recently a friendly salesperson talked with me and my husband about his Tempur-Pedic purchase. It was great to learn more about this expensive bed system from someone who actually owns it. He was honest about its flaws and benefits. Brookstone has gifts and gadgets that men love--I've purchase a bunch of products there for my father, such as a barbecue fork that reads the temperature of meats when inserted. They have a nice collection of CD's that would make great background music to your next party. more
