In 2024, in honor of May’s Small Business Month and May 6th BID Day, the HUB Third Avenue BID partnered with Flavors of NY for a video series on the Third Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) aka “HUB” and its local storefronts on Third Avenue in the Bronx. As the Bronx’s oldest shopping district, the HUB has a rich history. Enjoy the videos below on the people behind the local businesses that so many know and love.
