A Bayside Hills woman celebrated turning 100 with the socially-distanced birthday bash of a lifetime. Louise Ceci Jacobson, also known as Louisa or Louie, entered the centenarian club Sunday by partying the day away to the tune of a car cavalcade of friends and family circling her home, followed by lunch in her backyard.

That wasn't all. Loved ones based locally and in Jacobson's native Italy compiled a video montage that they screened during a 100-person, cross-country call over the video-conferencing platform Zoom. State Sen. John Liu and City Council Member Barry Grodenchik also joined the weekend's festivities by presenting Jacobson with proclamations from their offices.
