<p>Devin and Andy get together with Jared again to discuss <a href="https://www.americandream.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">American Dream</a>, in the shadow of MetLife (briefly NYNJ) Stadium. How is this mall only 9 minutes from <a href="https://www.ruttshut.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Rutt’s Hut</a>?

Is &quot;Galleria&quot; a classic mall name, or too generic? What is the proper balance between stores and amusements? Will American Dream ever be fully open? How fun is watching people ski? Can we get a Barnes &amp; Noble and <a href="https://www.newburycomics.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Newbury Comics</a> in here?
