Terraza 7, a beloved music venue in Jackson Heights, faces eviction due to rising rents and financial losses from the pandemic. The venue's owner, Freddy Castiblanco, is seeking donations and political support for cultural landmark status. Locals and musicians regard Terraza as a crucial cultural hub, with comparisons drawn to iconic venues like CBGB. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emphasizes its significance as a "cultural gem." The venue serves not just as a stage, but as a community center fostering creativity and cultural expression.
"In a few years from now, we're gonna hear about this or that singer, or this or that musician who got their start at Terraza."
