DOWNTOWN. When this fascinating mall opened in 1995, it brought new life to the city's downtown area, and now, more than a hundred shops make it a great place to spend an afternoon. Gap, Banana Republic, Nordstrom, and Godiva Chocolatier are just a few of the specialty shops available. And if excellent shopping isn't enough, Circle Centre Mall also contains an entertainment center, a United Artists movie theater, and three nightclubs.

CARMEL. Self-defined as an outdoor lifestyle center, Clay Terrace offers more than 70 retailers and restaurants in an atmosphere that hearkens back to slower times, complete with antique lights and quaint storefronts. Notable name brands in residence include American Eagle Outfitters, Pier 1 Imports, Yankee Candle, Vera Bradley and Starbucks.

Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom serve as the two major department stores at this upscale shopping center. Other shops that fill up the inside include J. Crew, Banana Republic, Coach, Tiffany & Co., and Tommy Bahama. If you or your feet need a break, have a seat and relax in T.G.I. Friday's or P.F. Chang's, two of the mall's popular restaurants.
