Layo Centeno – The Sunset Park Legend
On the corner of 51st Street and 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park is a mural of Layo Centeno.
Layo had a restaurant named Layo Restaurant on 3rd Avenue and 52nd Street. Later he moved to 51st Street.
Layo was legend in Sunset Park because he cared for everyone. He died in 2009, but many people still talk about him and his great food. People were obsessed with his pernil sandwiches – very low cost and big.
I remember around the holidays so many people would go to Layo Restaurant to get pastels.
Layo’s son moved back to Puerto Rico.
