Ridge Hill
As much as we love independent boutiques, sometimes you just need a fix at one of your favorite chain brands — and Yonkers consumers have two retail powerhouses where they can do just that. Cross County has been a Westchester shopping landmark since 1954 and now boasts an appealing mix of dependable mall staples, like Zara, Macy’s, H&M, and Victoria’s Secret, along with such higher-end stores as A|X Armani Exchange, and Michael Kors.
Popular mixed-use destination Ridge Hill offers shoppers a stellar lineup, which includes perennial faves like Apple, Banana Republic, Guitar Center, L.L. Bean, REI, and Sephora, among others.
