“Argentina Way” is the permanent co-name of the block of West 56th Street where the Consulate General and Promotion Center of the Argentine Republic in New York is located, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, in the heart of Manhattan.

The initiative was launched by the Consulate General and Promotion Center of the Argentine Republic in New York as part of the program “80 Years of Presence, History and Future: Argentina’s Home in New York,” commemorating eight decades of Argentine presence at its historic premises at 12 West 56th Street, acquired by the Argentine State in 1947.

The initiative sought to create a permanent expression of that history while celebrating the deep ties between Argentina and the City of New York and recognizing the contributions made by the Argentine community over the decades to the city’s economic, cultural, academic, and social life.

The designation was approved by the New York City Council, following an initiative initially advanced together with then-Council Member Keith Powers and subsequently championed by Council Member Virginia Maloney, who represents the district where the Consulate General is located.

On June 24, 2026, Argentina Way was officially inaugurated at a ceremony led by Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, together with officials from the City of New York and the U.S. Department of State, representatives of the consular corps, the business and cultural communities, and members of the Argentine community.

Since then, the name Argentina Way has permanently identified the block of the Consulate General, symbolically placing Argentina on New York City’s urban landscape.

More than a street designation, Argentina Way represents eight decades of Argentine presence in the city, the ties built with generations of Argentines who have made New York their home, and the enduring relationship of friendship and cooperation between Argentina, New York, and the United States.

It also reflects the Consulate General’s commitment to continuing to serve as Argentina’s home in New York: a gathering place for our community and a platform to showcase the country, its culture, its talent, and its opportunities.

As Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno stated at the inauguration, “Argentina Way will now be a new gathering place. A sign, yes. But also a symbol of presence, pride, and continuity.”
