September in New York means one thing for Arthur Avenue: Ferragosto. Traditionally, Ferragosto falls on August 15th in Italy, but here in the Bronx, we’ve got our own style. We wait until September, when everyone’s back from vacation and the neighborhood can really come alive.
And come alive it does. Arthur Avenue turns into a festival of food, music, and the kind of Italian spirit that makes you wonder if you’ve teleported to Naples. It’s the Bronx’s best one day party—and Arthur Cantina is right at the heart of it.
What’s Happening This Year
This Ferragosto, we’re pulling out all the stops. Our shop is hosting the biggest wine tasting we’ve ever done. That means:
-
Five different wine distributors pouring their best bottles—All Italian as authentic as it can get. See what we are pouring here.
-
A full Bulleit Bourbon tasting table, because wine may be the star of Ferragosto, but bourbon deserves its moment too.
-
Expert staff and reps on hand to guide you through rare finds and special pours.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to explore something new—or to stock up your cellar—this is it.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Sure, Ferragosto is about tradition, food, and merry making. But let’s be honest: it’s also about discovering something you can’t get anywhere else. Our tasting tables will be stacked with bottles you won’t find at your corner shop. This is your chance to sample, compare, and maybe even argue with your friends about which Nebbiolo or bourbon hits harder.
And while you’re here, you’ll be surrounded by the best of Arthur Avenue—live music, street food, espresso, cannoli, the whole nine yards. It’s the Italian Bronx at its finest.
Insider Tip
Get here early. Parking during Ferragosto is like winning the lotto, you better show up with early, no later than 9:30am. Beat the crowds, grab a spot, and then take your time enjoying everything.
