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.

Leaving London Town
The food at Haz is excellent, though the servers are intensely disinterested in our satisfaction and well-being. We eat through two courses and coffee in a multi-hour affair that covers the past year and a half. It's good to re-encounter a friend in a semi-foreign country, and Adams and Levy click easily.
Afterwards, Levy shows us the exterior-lobby of the Marsh building, a neat, ultra-modern display of glass panels and metal-frames.
Within three hours, Adams and I are back in Heathrow, departing for our red-eye flight to Uganda.
It was a nice few hours in the mother country; now it's time to switch countries.
