Sharing the spirit of the season in Bay Ridge
The holidays are in full swing in Bay Ridge, where two adjacent Business Improvement Districts have joined forces to share the spirit of the season with residents and shoppers.
The Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue BID and the 86th Street BID, along with Dime Bank, jointly sponsored a free holiday trolley — with Santa on board — to ferry shoppers between 65th and 86th Streets the past two Saturdays, with the trolley making a return visit on Saturday, December 20, from noon to 4 p.m., beginning from Bay Ridge Parkway and Fifth Avenue where the Fifth Avenue BID has set up its holiday tree.
For both thoroughfares, spreading holiday cheer is a natural extension of what they do all year long.
