You can also cab it to Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City Long Island. It's bigger and better. Only downside will be the cost of the taxi since you're leaving NYC proper. Maybe the next poster can chime in cost wise.

Do you think Green Acres in Valley stream might be closer?

(Roosevelt Field has a more upscale selection of stores, however.)
