Smith Haven Mall

Step into a sprawling destination where retail variety meets dining and entertainment in one Westbury location. The lineup mixes beloved anchors like Fortunoff with a diverse roster of shops—fashion finds at Gap, Gap Kids, H&M, Old Navy, and Nordstrom Rack sit alongside the outlet appeal of Off 5th-Saks Fifth Avenue and Famous Footwear. When winter weather keeps things brisk outside, the covered spaces here offer a warm refuge for browsing, trying on, and exploring. Beyond the retail stretch, multiple restaurants and entertainment venues round out the experience, including Dave & Busters for some hands-on fun, The Cheesecake Factory for indulgent dining, Ayhan's Shish Kebab for heartier fare, and P.F. Chang's China Bistro. It's the kind of place where you can spend an entire afternoon moving between shops, catching a bite, and finding something unexpected around each corner.
