In the afternoon if you still haven’t done enough shopping jump into a taxi and head for “Best Outlet Centre”, this 37-acre, open-air shopping, dining and entertainment paradise, features 57 of America’s favourite brand name stores, including Jones New York, Eddie Bauer, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike and Gap – just to name a few.
