As the weather cools down and a festive chill fills the air, New York’s ‘real’ Little Italy is shining brighter than ever. You can leave the crowded Manhattan sidewalks behind. The Belmont Business Improvement District is officially kicking off its 2026 holiday season right here in the Bronx.
From November through December, the historic Belmont neighborhood will transform into a festive wonderland. Whether you are shopping for gourmet Italian gift baskets or looking for a warm meal after exploring the city, Arthur Avenue is the ultimate holiday destination.
