St. Patrick’s Day: The Italian Connection & A Special Offer You Don’t Want to Miss

March 17th—St. Patrick’s Day—the time when the world turns green, Guinness flows like a river, and everyone suddenly remembers their Irish roots (even if they don’t have any). But here’s a little-known fact: Italians and the Irish share a deep history, especially in New York. And at Arthur Cantina Wine & Liquor, we’re celebrating with a deal that’s as good as gold—no need to chase rainbows for this one.

Italians & Irish: A New York Story

If you know the history of the Bronx (or just grew up here), you know that Italians and Irish immigrants lived side by side, working in the same trades, marrying into each other’s families, and, most importantly, sharing drinks at the same bars. Walk into any old-school neighborhood joint, and you’ll find an Italian with a Guinness and an Irishman with an amaro. That’s just how it works.

St. Patrick himself? He was born in Roman Britain, meaning the guy had some connection to Italy (if only geographically). And what do Italians and the Irish have in common? A love for good drinks and good company.
