Not a bad list, but loose Sephora (I get dragged there enough by my daughter) and add Puzzle Zoo. Also, did you forget about the other half of SCP? What about the Apple Store, Borders, and Sport Chalet?

Sephora and Victoria’s Secret for men? Not for me…I would rather go to the Pioneer store or to the Nordstrom Cafe…or browse the Movado or Rolex stores…other than those two, the list is pretty much ok…

Interesting question because I was just at South Coast Plaza the other day waiting around with much time to kill and I watched about half of Ratouille on big screen at the Sony Store.

Or you could bring a laptop or any other wifi enabled device and sit in front of the Apple store and take advantage of what is truly Free Wireless. Apple doesn’t mind, really.

Victoria’s Secret of course!

Plaza Cutlery is the manliest store in the mall. I don’t know what idiot is still smoking.

I think there’s a magazine stand over near the entrance between Sears and some restaurant? It’s near the McDonald’s I think.

As a woman, I don’t drag my husband unless I am getting something for to wear. Other thant that, I leave him food and booz and come home in time to make dinner, and I take all my kids.

Are you kidding? My husband drags ME to SCP. We go to Brookstone, Haagan Daz, Sears, that video game place, Borders, the cutlery place, Puzzle Zoo, the Apple Store, across the street to the movie theaters and BnN… I’m lucky if I even get to sneak away to Sephora.
We spent our 1 year anniversery weekend there (well, the Wyndham across the street, but most of our waking hours were spent there) and he even talked me into moving into the apartments across the street for a year so we could just walk there.

IF THEY HAVE MANLY MAN MAGAZINE, I MAY STOP BY AND DO SOME SERIOUS READING.

macy’s? sephora? whaaaaaaaaaaaat?? both of these are terrible for guys. plus macy’s does not HAVE a men’s dept (except formalwear). the mens dept was extracted from the womens and kids and stuck down a dank, cramped corridor 100 yards away. so there’s nothing for guys to casually browse. sephora is boring and lame I was going out of my mind after 10 minutes!! smelled one fragrance, you’ve probably smelled them all.
at least Nordstrom has football games on in the shoe dept and relatively comfy chairs. and an actual menswear section
I could easily find a half dozen places better to kill a bit of time in the mall than the author’s 10 “picks”.
