Great Escape: Atlantic Terminal Mall

It’s getting close to the holiday shopping season here in Brooklyn, and Fort Greene remains, as always, a top destination for discount-seekers.

One of the biggest magnets for those shoppers is Atlantic Terminal Mall—a place that's not only geographically convenient for many Brooklynites, but also a mecca for holiday shoppers looking for a diverse selection of products and services.

The mall is easily accessible by taking the 2,3,4,5,B,D,M,N,Q or R train to Atlantic Ave, or by way of the B41, B45, B63, B65, and B67 bus.

The mall houses a Target store as well as myriad other clothing stores like Mandees, Avenue, Marshall’s, and Old Navy—but there are also a number of smaller shops as well.

For gamers, check out Game Stop. Love shoes? DSW, Payless, and Finish Line are just a step away. Music mavens should make a stop at Guitar Center. Find something naughty or nice at Victoria’s Secret. Sniff some scents and soaps at Bath and Body Works, and when you get really tired take a quick nap at Sleepy’s or grab a coffee at Starbucks.

If you get hungry while you shop, have no fear: there's Bony’s Bagels or McDonald’s for a quick bite, or have some dinner and drinks at Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill. If you’re still hungry after all that, grab some ice cream for dessert at Cold Stone Creamery.

Atlantic Terminal Mall is seriously a one-stop shop for all of your holiday gift-hunting needs.
