Visit Mexico USA brings the tradition of the Day of the Dead again this year through the “Cena Negra” (black dinner), a Mexican culinary experience in partnership with the Consulate General of Mexico in New York, the premier Hispanic media network Televisa Univision, and American Airlines.

Televisa Univision is the premiere sponsor, host and exclusive media partner for the Cena Negra dinner which caps a weeklong series of “Mexico Week” events in New York City. The Cena Negra event will take 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 will be fully themed for the Day of the Dead. The multi course dinner will feature gastronomic Mexican cuisine, wines, spirts, tequila, and mescal. 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 are the varied gastronomy and celebratory atmosphere that will be replicated at the Cena Negra in New York.

“We’re excited to continue bridging the gap between commerce, culture and tradition through our partnership and participation in this event. Our aim is to showcase the richness and breadth of Mexican influence in the United States and beyond. The event arrives at a pivotal time, when now more than ever, we need to engage thoughtfully and enthusiastically cross culturally with Hispanic media and leadership,” said Roberto Yañez, Northeast Regional Manager, President and General Manager Univision NY.

“As the leading United States airline in Mexico, we are thrilled to participate in this event which recognizes and elevates the country’s rich history and its vibrant traditions. At American Airlines , our strong ties to Mexico date back to 1942, when we first launched service to the country, and today we are proud to serve as an important bridge between our cultures and our people,” said Jose A. Feig, American Airlines Vice President of Operations and Commercial for Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.

This year the American will continue strengthening its footprint in Mexico with daily service from New York (JFK) to Mexico City (MEX) and Monterey ( MTY ) launching on November 3.

The Day of the Dead celebration in New York is an excellent way to promote and encourage Mexican-Americans living in USA 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.

“We are thrilled to again host one of the most festive traditions of Mexican culture and share this celebration with our partners here in New York. This year, as in the past, the classic, historic and iconic 48 Wall Street is a wonderful setting for the Day of the Dead spectacular artistic and gastronomic evening scenario,” said Kent M. Swig, Chairman of Visit Mexico USA.
