What Is Roosevelt Field?
Roosevelt Field is a major Simon shopping center located at the intersection of Old Country Road and the Meadowbrook Parkway in Garden City.
The center includes more than 250 stores and restaurants and combines traditional department stores, luxury retailers, national brands, restaurants, entertainment and services in one large destination.
Major retailers include names such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, Primark and Dick's Sporting Goods, along with a large collection of specialty stores.
Because stores and tenants change over time, I recommend checking the official Roosevelt Field directory for the most current lineup before making a special trip.
Shopping at Roosevelt Field
One of the things that makes Roosevelt Field different from a typical neighborhood shopping center is the variety.
You can find everything from clothing and footwear to technology, beauty, jewelry, home products, sporting goods and luxury brands.
That means Garden City residents have access to a very large retail destination without needing to travel into Manhattan or farther across Long Island for many major brands.
You can view the current store directory directly on the Roosevelt Field website.
Dining at Roosevelt Field
Roosevelt Field has also developed into much more than a place to grab something quickly while shopping.
The property includes both fast-casual options and full-service restaurants.
Its Restaurant Collection currently includes restaurants such as The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Grand Lux Cafe, True Food Kitchen, Small Batch, and other dining options.
There is also a large Dining District with a broad range of quicker choices.

Roosevelt Field and Everyday Garden City Life
This is the part that interests me from a real estate perspective.
When people are choosing a community, they usually consider more than the house itself.
They think about where they are going to shop, eat, exercise, run errands and spend their free time.
Having Roosevelt Field nearby puts a large number of those options within a relatively concentrated area.
That does not mean everyone wants to spend every weekend at a mall, but having the option nearby is part of the convenience of living in this section of central Nassau County.
Garden City Has More Than Roosevelt Field
Roosevelt Field is a major regional destination, but it should not be confused with Garden City's own local shopping and dining districts.
Garden City itself has restaurants, cafés, professional businesses and local shopping areas that give the community a very different feel from the large mall environment.
I cover those separately in my Shopping, Dining & Downtown Garden City Guide.
I like separating the two because they serve different purposes.
Roosevelt Field is a major regional shopping and entertainment destination. Garden City's local streets, restaurants and businesses are part of the community itself.
