The Westchester
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Westchester is a 890,000 s.f., upscale shopping mall located in the downtown area of White Plains, New York. It is home to some of today's most fashionable and well-known retailers, many with their only location in affluent Westchester County, New York. It is anchored by Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Barneys CO-OP
Opened in 1995, The Westchester was built on the site of one of the first suburban branch department stores in the United States, a B. Altman & Co. store which opened in 1930. B. Altman's was located where Nordstrom is now situated. The mall was built adjacent to the (once) freestanding location of Neiman Marcus, which originally opened in 1972 as the only out-of-town location of sister chain, New York-based Bergdorf Goodman. An interesting feature of the mall is that an old fountain, once located in the original Altman store in New York, is featured in one of the lobbies leading from the parking garage into the mall.
Some of its tenants include Michael Kors, Theory, Burberry, a large Coach store, Juicy Couture, J. Crew, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Armani Exchange, Brooks Brothers, Lacoste, Cole Haan and Abercrombie & Fitch. In addition, The Westchester is located within proximity to the Crowne Plaza Hotel, The Source At White Plains, The White Plains Pavilion, White Plains City Center, and The Galleria at White Plains.
The mall's Santa Claus has been played for many years by "professional RVer" Jimmy Long. There is a Q&A with Long, as St. Nick, here.
