Loisaida
nickname
the Lower East Side of New York US
A Spanish adaptation of English, borrowed back into English.- Loisada, actually, is the area betwen 14th and Houston Streets from Avenue A east. This sunny, flowery, Spanish-flavored name for the Lower East Side was conferred on an unpromising piece of real estate by our Puerto Rican fellow residents to cheer things — New York Times, p. C8, 27 May 1981
- The sidewalk bikers of Loisaida dare you to glare at them, and too many of the dogs are pit bulls in training for their pro season. — New York Times, p. 4 (Section 14), 7 September 2003
