Bodega Culture:

The Bronx Block Party - June 11th, 2026

Founded by Bronx-born mixologist and Drink Masters champion LP O’Brien, Bodega Culture is an annual block party that celebrates the vibrant, flavor-packed heart of New York City’s neighborhoods. Hosted in the Bronx where LP was raised on pastelitos, tropical fruit drinks, and plantain-filled brown bags this event honors the cornerstones of the city’s culinary identity: its bodegas.

What started as a personal homage has grown into a full-scale celebration featuring the best of NYC’s food and drink vendors, DJs, artists, and storytellers. From Puerto Rican panadería classics to Dominican fritura, chopped cheese to creative cocktails, Bodega Culture connects the past, present, and future of our communities through taste, music, and memory.

This isn’t just a party it’s a love letter to the Bronx and a tribute to the culture that raised us.
