Tax Advantage & Smart Shopping
Jersey City is part of New Jersey’s Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ), which means reduced sales tax rates on most items — typically half the standard NJ rate on non-clothing purchases. Combined with NJ’s statewide tax-free clothing policy, Newport Centre is one of the most tax-advantaged shopping destinations in the Northeast. Bring a photo ID to receive the UEZ benefit at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tips Before You Visit Newport Centre
- Take the PATH — skip the car. Newport station is directly below the mall. From Manhattan it’s 8–10 minutes from Exchange Place or Hoboken, and far cheaper than paying for the parking garage. It’s genuinely the easiest NYC-area mall to reach by transit.
- Bring ID for the UEZ tax benefit. Jersey City is an Urban Enterprise Zone — most non-clothing purchases are taxed at roughly half the standard NJ rate. Clothing and footwear are tax-free statewide. Have a photo ID ready at checkout to receive the UEZ benefit.
- Weekday afternoons are calmer. Newport Centre draws a dense urban crowd — especially on weekends and evenings. If you’re coming from Manhattan for a focused shopping run, a weekday morning or early afternoon is significantly less hectic.
- Three levels — plan your floor. Anchors span all three levels. The food court is on Level 3 with over 1,000 seats. Dave + Buster’s and AMC are also in the building. Check the interactive map at simon.com before arriving.
- Combine with Jersey Gardens. The Mills at Jersey Gardens in Elizabeth is about 20 minutes south — 200+ outlet stores at discounted prices with UEZ reduced tax. A strong full-day itinerary: Newport Centre in the morning, Jersey Gardens in the afternoon.
- Look out for the Manhattan skyline view. The food court on Level 3 has views of the NYC skyline across the Hudson. Worth grabbing a coffee and taking it in — one of the better mall views in New Jersey.

Our Take on Newport Centre
We love popping into Newport Centre after a PATH ride — the views of the Manhattan skyline from the food court never get old. It’s always high-energy and buzzing, and genuinely the best spot for city dwellers to hit all the basics without leaving Jersey City. However, it can feel cramped on weekends, and the parking garage fees add up fast. Still, the UEZ tax advantage makes every purchase feel like a bonus win. Additionally, the addition of Primark and Dick’s House of Sport has seriously upgraded the anchor lineup.
