Ask 10 women how to spend the perfect afternoon and eight of them will mention a shopping trip. So Great Escape would be remiss if it didn’t point our local moms in the direction of one of the East Bay’s most beloved shopping areas, Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek.
Not only is this an outdoor mall with beautiful fountains and flora, it is also home to 95 specialty shops and restaurants. Anchored by Nordstrom on one end and Macy’s on the other, it boasts brands such as 7 For All Mankind, Arden B, BCBG Max Azria, Betsey Johnson, Burberry, True Religion and Kate Spade. There is a virtual wonderland of makeup and perfumes, Sephora, as well as chic housewares at Crate & Barrel and Sur la Table.
