At Roosevelt Field Mall: Black Friday crowds thinned briefly early this morning as shoppers who hit stores on Thanksgiving went home and the next wave of bargain hunters streamed into the mall.
Nicole Odone, 33, of Franklin Square, started her shopping at 4:30 a.m. at Roosevelt Field mall. Though the deals aren't as good as they used to be, she said she still comes out because Black Friday shopping is a tradition.
"It's not even really about the sales," said Odone, who came with her sister. "It's just fun. It's exciting. You get up . . . and I'm crazy." -- Keiko Morris -

At Green Acres Mall: Around noon on Black Friday, Eddie Siddiqi, a manager at a custom t-shirt kiosk in Green Acres Mall, was entering the twelfth hour of his shift.
He had been there since the mall opened at midnight, kept up by a combination of red bull and coffee, and said he found the shopper turnout disappointing and business slow compared to years past.
"It's empty, like a regular Saturday or Sunday," Siddiqi, 35, who had worked at the kiosk for ten years, said of the Valley Stream mall.
Back when the mall opened at 4 a.m. on Black Friday, Siddiqi said he did better business. Now, he feels the shoppers just come for the big box stores deals and leave.
"I want to tell my boss it's 'Dead Friday,' not Black Friday." -- Lisa Du -

#LIBLACKFRIDAY .... I love a store that gives back to the community. I will run over to OLD NAVY 500 feet sweaty & drop off a coat since Old Navy has 50% off EVERYTHING today only. This is the true meaning of the holidays performing a mitzvah or in English a good deed. HAPPY THANKSGIVINGUKAH. !!!

At the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park: If Gray Thursday is for the brave and weary-eyed, Black Friday was for the well-fed and the well-rested.
A second round of shoppers casually strolled Deer Park's Tanger Outlets, which was devoid of the chaotic scenes from Thursday night.
Katie Grant, 16, of East Northport, a veteran Black Friday shopper, observed thinner crowds than from her visit last year.
"Everybody did their shopping last night," said Grant, a junior at Northport High School. "There were a little more people last year." -- Scott Eidler -

At the Walt Whitman Shops: For Joe Nunziato, Black Friday was an obscure social phenomenon he had seen just on TV. "I had the expectation they're giving everything away," Nunziato, 40, a small business owner from Melville, said. "You're used to these images portrayed on the news."
But at the Walt Whitman Shops Friday, he said the sales were nothing to incite chaos. "Fifteen percent on a Brooks Brothers Shirt," he said. "Big deal."
Blame it on his family's wish list. "I needed to get specific items, I'm not looking for the sale item," he said. "I told my little cousin I'm getting her Uggs for Christmas. So, I'm getting her Uggs for Christmas."
And his wife was looking for a Michael Kors watch. No discount, he said.
The experience underwhelmed, too, Nunziato said. Expecting large crowds heading in, he said he thought, "Are we even going to get a spot in this parking lot." But, "when we did immediately, I knew it wasn't going to be a crazy day here." -- Scott Eidler -

At Best Buy in Westbury: At 4 p.m. in Best Buy in Westbury, the scene remained relatively unchanged from when the store opened nearly 24 hours ago Thanksgiving evening.
The only thing missing was the line of people out the door, which had perpetuated through Thanksgiving night. But inside, lines of people continued to zigzagged through the shop -- waiting for different deals and check out, and hum of customers parsing sales persisted.
The electronics dealer had sales on gaming consoles, laptops and smartphones that began at different times through Thanksgiving night and Black Friday, which brought in a flow of non-stop shopper traffic, said the store's general manager Scott Cerniglia.
That afternoon, the hottest item with the biggest line was an iPhone 5S with a $75 discount, a deal which began around 3 p.m.
Cerniglia said there was a lull between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., but that gave him time to reorganize and "move stuff around without having to move customers around."
"Controlled chaos," he said. "It's the key to this." -- Lisa Du -
Back at Best Buy in Westbury, GM Scott Cerniglia says shoppers flow is steady in last 24 hrs & calls it "controlled chaos." #liblackfridayby lisadont via twitter 11/29/2013 9:34:01 PM
