Savvy travelers know to leave a little room in their suitcase when packing for a trip out of town. Why? Because shopping and travel go together like frosting on a cake! Visiting a new city can provide a fresh perspective on culture and style, all you have to do is look around and get inspired! Best of all? Your new fashion finds will always remind you of that particular place in the world. There’s truly nothing like the feeling of travel nostalgia!

So what’s the shopping scene like here in Newark? You’re in luck! Not only is Newark the home to some seriously stylish people, but its proximity to New York City makes the shopping second to none.

What’s more, clothing purchases made in New Jersey are tax-free. So go ahead and splurge, there’s a little more room in your budget for that one-of-a-kind find (we won’t tell anyone).
