The Westfarms Mall is one of the best malls in all of Connecticut. It used to be small, but since it's expansion in the late 90s it has surpassed other area malls with the quantity and quality of stores. They have many upscale stores like Restoration Hardware, but they also have cheaper stores like h&m and Forever 21 so that you can get your trendy fix. Restaurants include a Rainforest Cafe among others- pretty nice.
