Art Aplenty

by luvmywyn

This is the best place to browse around and see the art that this building has to show. There is the famous chihuly (same person who did the glass displays in the Bellagio and Tacoma museum) display on the 2nd floor. Looks like this place has been recently remodeled and is very inviting. I like the free wireless as well. Definitely worth visiting is just only to eat at Palominos! There lavendar cosmos and gorgonzola fries are worth the trip.

• Pros: Lots of amazing art
• Cons: none at the moment

A completely 'cold' feeling

by malibuhome

Despite having more than a dozen upscale shops such as Barney's, this place has a completely 'cold' feeling. A better bet might be just a few blocks away at Pacific Place which has a much more inviting feel and vibe.

• Pros: Cache with shops like Barney's
• Cons: Cold and uninviting

For dyed-in-the-wool shoppers, this mall is all about Barneys New York; for the diner, it's all about Palomino.

In Short
It's telling that City Centre is part of the US Bank Centre building: gigantic vaulted ceilings, artwork (which all seems to be from 1987) behind monstrous wood and glass containers and the centrally located U.S. Bank give it, well, a bank feel. Shoppers overlook the '80s decor for Barney's New York. The food kiosks, which include Soups and Juice Smoothies, are logical breakfast/lunch spots, as are any of the three Starbucks. Palomino offers a lunch-time cafe and dinner.
