An award-winning news site covering the East Village of NYC

She certainly is deserving and was a wonderful woman but I'm just not a fan of street namings. Maybe a small garden with a plaque on a tree in front. When I walk in the West Village I always pass a building that has a sign on it for Emma Lazarus with a brief blub. I'd rather see more of those type dedications. It would also allow for more people to be recognized.

She more than deserves the block to be named after her… only store on that block that’s been there 30+ years she fed countless amount of homeless people for free and if you were in tune with the community when 5th street was at battle with avenue D all the gang members and “street dudes” knew that was a safe haven when u walk in there it’s peace and love and they always respected so he’ll yeah she deserves that block

Well deserved honor for Adela a loving and honest mother who work very hard getting up at 4 am and going to sleep very late. Her cooking made us feel at home. Well done Adela. We love you then and forever.

I wish she was pressent to see what she accomplish 🙏
