East Village, NYC

Hispanic Heritage Month

Let the celebrations begin.

Cuna Bar & Lounge is turning up the heat for Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 through October 15—an opportunity to recognize the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of the Hispanic community and the neighborhood we’re lucky enough to call home. We’ll be marking the month with limited-time offers, exciting collaborations, and a few surprises still under wraps. Take a peek at the current menus here and everything we have in store below.

A TASTE OF LA NEWYORKINA

Chef Maycoll Calderón teams up with Mexican pastry chef and La Newyorkina founder Fany Gerson for a month-long collaboration inspired by the vibrant flavors and traditions of Mexico. After returning from a year of traveling through Mexico, Gerson founded her Brooklyn-based frozen-treat shop to bring the country's vibrant paleta culture to New York.

The menu pairs three margaritas with three La Newyorkina paletas, each with its own flavor combination. Then come the boozy chamoyadas: frozen, fruit-forward drinks layered with the sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavors of chamoy. Three versions will be on the menu alongside Cuna Bar mainstays throughout the month, with or without alcohol.

September 15 - October 15: RSVP
