2024: Our LES History Month + Jane's Walk event:
Stroll Avenue C - the heart of Loisaida - with three community leaders: an international mapmaker, an urban anthropologist, and a spoken word poet for an ‘inside’ intro to the visual arts, music, architecture, gardens and foodways that have blossomed along Avenue C.

This was the first Avenue C Cultural Corridor event, which took place during LES History Month May 2024, with the opening walk co-hosted by La Sala De Pepe & Green Map NYC & Loisaida Center

Con Ed Plant

Where does the Cultural Corridor get its juice? This behemoth uses natural gas and other fossil fuels. Just a little bit is renewable now, but the next five years will change the energy balance for good. This is the power plant that shut down during Superstorm Sandy, and with it. Lower Manhattan was dark for 5 days.

Grace Space

Look to the east, it's an art outpost with its own little plaza, set back from Ave C between 11 & 12th Streets
