Present name:St. Ann’s Avenue

Honoree: Alfredo Thiebaud (d. 2014) was the president and owner of Delicioso Coco Helado Inc. He started his company in 1967, making this popular Latin American iced dessert in the kitchen of his South Bronx apartment, and selling it in paper cups on the streets of the South Bronx. He later built a fleet of pushcarts and a company that eventually employed more than 30 seasonal workers and supplied more than 100 vendors. He designed and built the carts himself in the basement of his factory. After his accidental death in 2014, at the age of 74, elected officials credited him with helping to revitalize a declining neighborhood and providing thousands of families with much-needed jobs over the years.
