Join us for Negroni Week

SFEE is excited to announce that we will be participating in Negroni Week, a global celebration of this classic Italian cocktail, while also supporting the Slow Food Movement. During Negroni Week, which runs from September 18 to September 24th, select bars and restaurants from around the world will participate in Negroni Week in support of the global movement. Many will be featuring a special menu of Negroni variations and donating a portion of the proceeds to Slow Food, supporting our mission to promote sustainable, locally sourced, and traditional food of Slow Food. 

The Negroni, a beloved cocktail made with equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, has been enjoyed for over a century. It has become a symbol of the Italian aperitivo culture and is loved by cocktail enthusiasts all around the world. Negroni Week was created to celebrate this iconic drink and raise funds for charitable causes.

For the past 10 years, Slow Food, Imbibe Magazine, and Campari have joined forces to increase their collective impact by using donations raised during Negroni Week to provide incubator grants for activities that support and promote good, clean, and fair food and beverage.  

Our East End chapter just received a sizable grant in support of our Flour Power program – an initiative focused on providing high-quality, nutritious, and flavorful, home-baked bread to food pantries in our community.
