NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES , November 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Visit Mexico USA brought the tradition of the Day of the Dead back to New York City again this year through the “Cena Negra” (black dinner), a Mexican culinary experience. The event this year was held on November 1st at the iconic exhibition space at 48 Wall Street in partnership with the Consulate General of Mexico in New York, the premier Hispanic media network Televisa Univision, and American Airlines. In addition to the Cena Negra partners, sponsors include: Camus Cognac, Corona Beer, Dignity Gold, Helmsley Spear, Locos por El Arte, Mezcal Tosba, Simi Wines, Jarritos, Yave Tequila.
“Visit Mexico USA was proud and honored to again bring the Cena Negra evening to New York City, and to share the holiday of the Day of the Dead with 150 distinguished guests. 48 Wall Street and the Grand Banking Hall provided the ideal setting for the food, art, music and guests who enjoyed the second annual tradition for New Yorkers in celebration with our Mexican neighbors. We look forward to Cena Negra for many years to come to further the bonds between Mexico and the United States,” said Kent M. Swig, Visit Mexico USA Chairman.
Televisa Univision, the exclusive media partner for the Cena Negra dinner capped a weeklong series of “Mexico Week” events in New York City. The Cena Negra event took place on Tuesday, November 1st at 48 Wall Street, in the Grand Banking Hall within this historic building located in FiDi (Financial District) of Manhattan and was fully themed for the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is a unique celebration in the world and represents the heritage, culture, gastronomy, and traditions of the Mexican people, as families create altars adorned with candles, flowers, photographs, food and drinks for the loved ones who are offered the altar with the belief that that night their souls will return to celebrate with the living ones. Traditions range from preparing food and offerings at home to taking them directly to cemeteries. A common theme of the festivities is the varied gastronomy and celebratory atmosphere that will be replicated at the Cena Negra in New York.
The Day of the Dead celebration in New York promotes and encourages Mexican-Americans living in the United States to honor the traditions and richness of Mexico as a tourist destination rich in culture and history. All of these cultural milestone events increase the presence of the Mexico brand and awaken the desire to travel to Mexico once again for Mexican Americans. In addition, this traditional celebration creates new interest for New Yorkers and all United States citizens to explore the beauty and wonders of Mexico.
