The shop-and-bar was a craft beer pioneer when it opened, and was the first beer-focused bottle shop with on-premise drinking in Manhattan, paving the way for others throughout the borough that continue to operate to this day.

Couldn’t have picked a more beautiful day to celebrate the legacy of Adela Fargas 🇵🇷❤️ Casa Adela is more than a restaurant to us; it’s long been and always will be the heart of our Loisaida community. I’m so proud to honor Adela and her family with this street co-naming. pic.twitter.com/frniQG92Mm

Today we are at the co-naming of Adela Fargas Way, who was the late & famed proprietor of the cultural anchor & eatery, Casa Adela. Adela was a proud Afro-Puerto Rican woman, an artist in her own right who created authentic sancocho and community alike. pic.twitter.com/BabpaFEACS

City removes the outdoor dining structure from Pardon My French on Avenue B
Having removed the initial 24 abandoned sheds, the task force has begun identifying and removing additional sheds, investigating another 37 sheds identified as egregious violators of Open Restaurants program guidelines, and reviewing complaints and summons data to identify and remove other abandoned sheds throughout the five boroughs. Sheds reported to be abandoned will be verified as abandoned two separate times before receiving a termination letter, followed by removal and disposal of the shed.The task force will also review sheds that, while potentially active, are particularly egregious violators of Open Restaurants program guidelines. In these cases, sheds will be inspected three separate times before action is taken.
After each of the first two failed inspections, DOT will issue notices instructing the restaurant owner to correct the outstanding issues; after the third visit, DOT will issue a termination letter and allow 48 hours before issuing a removal notice. DOT will then remove the structure and store it for 90 days — if the owner does not reclaim it in that period, DOT will dispose of the structure.
Recent East Village removals include Poco, Dia, the Ainsworth and Baker's Pizza. Of those four, only Poco remains in business.
