Just in time for Halloween, City Council Member Amanda Farías (C.D. 18) hosted a street co-naming ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 12, in partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) to honor legendary filmmaker George Romero. The ceremony took place at the northeast intersection of Metropolitan Avenue and Metropolitan Oval in Parkchester, where Romero was raised and began his journey to becoming an iconic figure in horror cinema.
