While Avatar was visually breathtaking and a significant piece of film making, I was more impressed with the escalating snowstorm and the peaceful silence it brings to New York.
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.

Snowy Saturday
BROOKLYN - On my first day back in New York, a magical snowstorm appeared and turned Brooklyn into a whirling wind of white. I took the bus up Coney Island Avenue to Park Slope, where a friend and I got hot chocolate and walked around a deserted Prospect Park. We escaped the cold for tea at Provini, where another friend showed up to see James Cameron's Avatar at the Park Slope Pavilion.
