The Hub is the primary commercial center of the south Bronx, clustered around the intersection of Third Avenue and 149th Street — one of the busiest retail corridors in the entire borough, drawing shoppers from across the surrounding neighborhoods with a dense concentration of clothing stores, electronics shops, and food vendors. Long considered the commercial heart of a historically underserved area, The Hub has remained a vital economic anchor through the south Bronx's decades of decline and subsequent recovery.
