Spring has officially sprung on Long Island, and if you\u2019re looking to get out and enjoy the weather without traveling far, look no further than Belmont Park. Home to UBS Arena, Belmont Park Village, and the Belmont Park Racetrack (currently undergoing redevelopment<\/a>), it\u2019s the perfect place to spend a sunny day.<\/p>\n

Located on the Nassau-Queens border in Elmont and accessible by car, rideshare, or mass transit, the campus offers entertainment, dining, shopping, and more. Whether you\u2019re cheering on the New York Islanders, seeing your favorite artist in concert, treating yourself to designer goods, or betting on prize horses, there\u2019s plenty to do before or after your plans.<\/p>\n

The Park at UBS Arena is a great place to spend time before an afternoon Islanders game. The fan-focused compound, located just outside of the arena, gives die-hard devotees a chance to participate in interactive activities the whole family can enjoy. Kids can test their hockey skills at the Accuracy Challenge, Hardest Shot, and Bullseye Battle booths, while adults enjoy the BYOB Beer Garden.<\/p>\n

If you have evening plans at the arena or the racetrack, make sure to schedule some time for shopping and dining at Belmont Park Village beforehand. Located off Exit 26 along the Cross Island Parkway, the luxury retail outlet is a first-of-its-kind destination on Long Island for world-class fashion and five-star hospitality.<\/p>\n

The Village is home to a growing collection of high-end boutiques, including Vivienne Westwood and Thom Browne, as well as everyday apparel from brands like Levi\u2019s and lululemon. After you shop \u2018til you drop, grab a quick bite at Pret A Manger, Le Botaniste, or Streetside Caf\u00e9 before heading to the arena.<\/p>\n

The Village\u2019s suite of hospitality services makes shopping a breeze, with perks that include hands-free shopping, complimentary parking, luggage storage, and an in-house concierge.<\/p>\n

After enjoying an event at Belmont Park, you can also head to the Village for dinner, drinks, and dessert. The Hundredfold, an American brasserie from James Beard Award-winning chef Timothy Hollingsworth, serves an eclectic menu of shareable appetizers, classic salads, and French-inspired entr\u00e9es, along with a side of tallow fries.<\/p>\n

The cocktails are fun and inventive, too. Notable options include a Vieux Carr\u00e9 served in a hip flask, the Heaven Cent with lemon sorbet, and a martini flight accompanied by blue cheese-stuffed olives and potato chips. If nothing on The Hundredfold\u2019s dessert menu catches your eye, be sure to grab a sweet treat to go from Neuhaus Chocolates.<\/p>\n
