Palisades Center Mall is at exit 12 of Interstate 87 about 20 minutes north
of New York City. The mall is only about 10 miles from the Tice's Corner Apple Store
but is much easier to find and much more likely to be visited by random shoppers or
people coming from out of the area. Anybody heading from New England to points west or south, or
anybody coming from eastern New York State to points south can visit this mall and go only a few
minutes out of their way.

The mall is a four story huge mall built in a rather industrial style with exposed
cement ceilings, pipes, and exposed beams. It includes an iMax movie theatre, amusement
park, and many stores you'd usually not expect to be part of a mall, a Comp-USA for instance.

It has underground parking as well as outdoor parking, direct access to Interstate 87, and
is wihin 10 miles of 4 four lane parkways, Interstate 287 and Interstate 87.

Above you can see the four separate levels. They are linked by banks of 3 glass elevators that run
all the way through the four floors and down to the parking lot below.
Below you can see the food court. I took the photo from the top of the ferris wheel. Photos from June 2000.

The Apple store is on the bottom floor (the entrance to the mall is on the 2nd floor above it)
and is across the large passage way from the RainForest Cafe.
