It was a slow, sickly humid day in New York, so I spent it inside oversleeping and watching Miami Vice: a basically mediocre movie.
I spent the evening studying at the Whole Foods on Houston Street and then stopped by a rooftop party on Avenue B, which was teeming with liberal arts college students and recent graduates.
Upon arriving home, my roommate (L) and I began hearing intermittent smashing noises around our apartment.
L went up to the roof to investigate, and discovered a group of 10-15 young, male, hipster-ish lads throwing party objects off the sides of the building.
He chided them briefly before being told that someone had already given them a scolding.
Satisfied, L came back to our apartment, where he conveyed the story, noting that he should have stayed up on the roof and hung out with the offendors.
I don't there's any moral to this story. Maybe: Don't throw stuff off your roof... and... spend sickly humid weekends indoors.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
