Loisaida favorite Casa Adela is facing a rent hike. Neighbors are fighting to save it
On December 11, a rally was held to offer support to the longtime East Village restaurant. Photo: Christian Rodriguez When I was growing up in the East Village — in the Jacob Riis Houses on Avenue D, specifically — there were only a few things we knew we could count on: The steady arrival of new, ever wealthier neighbors was one. Casa Adela was another.
Univision would be playing on the TV above the refrigerator, which was stacked with Snapples and Malta Indias. Adelita was almost always working, and I loved to watch her break open the shells of beans, something my grandmother did over conversations with us back home in the Dominican Republic. The first thing you might see would be the rotisserie chickens radiating a golden hue, or maybe you’d notice Fat Joe sitting across from you while you ate some rice and beans.
Photographs by Christian Rodriguez Earlier this month, Nicolas Heller posted the details of this rent battle to his popular Instagram page, @newyorkico: The post goes on to say that instead of a fundraiser page, Luis organized a rally this past weekend to support the restaurant. As soon as the news got out, my inbox was filled with notes from friends and family who were worried this spot — which they’d relied on in some way or another for their entire lives — would disappear.
