Roosevelt Field

Roosevelt Field is a shopping mall in the East Garden City section of Uniondale, New York. It was designed by I. M. Pei and is the largest shopping mall on Long Island, the second-largest in the State of New York, and the tenth-largest shopping mall in the United States. It is managed by Simon Property Group. It is the second most successful mall in the state. The mall features retailers Primark, Dick's Sporting Goods, JCPenney, Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. Location The mall is adjacent to the Meadowbrook State Parkway, making it accessible from the Northern State Parkway and Southern State Parkway. It is a major hub of Nassau Inter-County Express, with several bus routes stopping in a terminal area near the southern parking structure. It was constructed on the site of, and named for, Roosevelt Field, an airport and military airfield where Charles Lindbergh began his historic trans-Atlantic flight. At one time, a plaque at the north end of the mall (in the hall that now connects Dick's and JCPenney) marked the spot where Lindbergh took off. It was later moved near the Disney Store, but was removed in the mall's latest renovation.
