Laguardia Senior Center

Overview

Even the name - Good Health and Happiness - is enough to make seniors smile, feel happy and upbeat. Located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the Center’s activities reflect the mix of east and west cultures that meet here daily. Some come to meet their friends and participate in social activities. They can also enjoy nutritionally balanced breakfasts and lunches. Seniors come from all five boroughs. There are no membership fees - only proof of age is required. There are so many things to do at the Center that it’s impossible to get bored. Seniors can start off the day with “Lok Tung Kuen” exercises in the morning, followed by arts & crafts, music, bingo and mahjong and health promotion. Each year, the Center celebrates Chinese New Year with a gala event. Since NYFSC assumed sponsorship of the Center in 1992, membership has grown from 250 seniors to well over 7,100, a sure sign that the Center’s recipe for ‘health and happiness’ is working!
