\n\tBelmont Park Village is celebrating its one-year anniversary, and the Elmont, New York luxury outlet is marking the occasion with a host of new openings and happenings.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe latest addition to The Bicester Collection, a\u00a0global portfolio of retail, entertainment and hotel destinations, Belmont Park Village is the company\u2019s twelfth outlet shopping center worldwide and the first to open in North America (just a hop, skip and jump from New York City by car or LIRR). Thousands of guests have since passed through the dramatic entryway gates, which lead into an open-air space that merges the charm of an European hamlet with the luxury shopping, dining and amenities of a five-star hotel. The thrill of the deal persists, only with quaint walkways, lush landscaping and Town Square-inspired architecture to guide you to your frugal find<\/em>, rather than mad dashes through a mall.<\/p>\n \n\tBelmont Park Village officially celebrates its first anniversary on October 16, with special activations and festivities running throughout the month, culminating in \u201cVillage-wide trick or treating\u201d on Halloween night. The outlet also welcomes a new Coach boutique in October, with Canali, Gianvito Rossi and Belgian brand Neuhaus Chocolates set to open in November. They join previously open boutiques from Vivienne Westwood, Thom Browne, Orlebar Brown, Missoni and outerwear brand RAINS, who all opened their first North American outlet locations at the Village.<\/p>\n \n\tThe new brasserie Hundredfold, meantime, opened over the summer, bringing\u00a0James Beard Award-winning Chef Timothy Hollingsworth to Long Island. Inspired by his time at The French Laundry \u2014 Thomas Keller\u2019s innovative Michelin-starred restaurant in Napa Valley \u2014 Hollingsworth\u2019s new concept merges \u201cFrench culinary technique with American comfort food.\u201d Think: a \u201cFrench Bread Pizza,\u201d elevated steak au poivre<\/em>, and a martini flight accompanied by trio of bite-sized accoutrements<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tShopping continues to be the biggest draw though, and while the property doesn\u2019t use the term \u201coutlet mall\u201d in its marketing, all of the stores at Belmont Park Village offer finds at up to 65% off, with \u201cprevious seasons\u2019 collections\u201d and \u201crare, sought after, and archival pieces handpicked to inspire the most discerning of fashion-lovers,\u201d per a company description. The Missoni store offers the largest collection of discounted Missoni Home products in the U.S., while the Vivienne Westwood, Cavalli and Valentino outlets stock red carpet looks and one-of-a-kind pieces straight from previous runway collections (and yes, they\u2019re offered at a discount too). Other stores set to open in coming months include Kiton, Brunello <\/em>Cucinelli\u00a0and popular French classics brand, A.P.C. When fully occupied, officials say the shopping center will boast more than 150 off-price boutiques.<\/p>\n \n\tThe property is also leaning on its proximity to UBS Arena \u2014 home to the New York Islanders hockey team, and a number of high-profile concerts each year \u2014 to create a daytime and nighttime<\/em> hub on Long Island for entertainment (The Village also sits near the redevelopment of Belmont Park, the renowned site of the Belmont Stakes horse race).<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBelmont Park has been reimagined for a new era, as a world-class landmark where fashion, sport, music, and entertainment converge,\u201d says Jason Katz, Chief Commercial Officer at The Bicester Collection. \u201cThe newest addition to this transformation, Belmont Park Village, is redefining what shopping in person means for Metro New York\u2014defined by five-star hospitality and memorable experiences for guests, whether they come from around the corner or across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tUp next for Belmont Park Village: an expansion of its free concierge services (like the popular hands-free shopping offering, with bags delivered to your car) and the extension of The Apartment, an exclusive, suite-style space offering personal consultations, private shopping and a respite for VIP guests (Jessica Simpson spent the afternoon there before presenting at the recent MTV Video Music Awards across the street at UBS Arena). Described in PR materials as an \u201coasis\u201d and \u201cby-invitation-only atelier,\u201d The Apartment is also expected to be made available for private dinners, trunk shows and special events.<\/p>\n \n\tAnd Belmont Park transforms for the holidays beginning November 28, with festive light shows, carollers and of course, a chance to visit Santa. <\/p>\n \n\tIn a press release, Belmont Park Village says its anniversary heralds a \u201cnew era for experiential retail in the heart of Metropolitan New York. With a focus on world-class fashion, five-star hospitality, and memorable experiences in an oasis-like open-air destination, the Village is bringing joy back to the retail landscape in metro New York.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBelmont Park Village is located at 2601 Hempstead Turnpike, in Elmont, New York.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission.
