NYC’s Man in Demand:
Mayor-Elect Eric Adams
(sponsored by AARP New York)
Luis Matos
By Skye Ostreicher
New Yorkers 50-plus
helped build our city and
make it the great place
that it is: and city leaders
must be dedicated to
addressing the challenges
this population experiences.
Tune in to learn how
Mayor-elect Adams will
raise the issue of ageism
and make sure his administration
confronts it head
on. As a leader in Age
Friendly policies, how will
Mayor-elect Adams broaden
this work throughout
NYC?
Beth Finkel, State
Director of AARP New
York, shared with Mayor
elect Adams, “one of
our thoughts is actually
renaming NYC’s Dept of
the Aging – not a very
forward-thinking name
– and I’m thinking it’d
be right up your alley to
come up with a stronger,
better name.”
To which Adams replied,
“we’re looking for Seniors
to come up with the
best name for it… We are
open. The name should
be more active than the
Department of Aging. I
say it’s the Department
of Living. Whatever name
our seniors come up with,
we’re gonna put it out to
you.”
Adams is known for
making Brooklyn the first
age-friendly borough, and
now will be able to orchestrate
an age-friendly NYC.
Part of this plan will offer
restaurant, theater and
transportation discounts
for seniors, he shared.
Adams will be rolling
out his 100-day plan and
at the heart of it is how
NYC becomes more inclusive,
especially of its seniors.
AARP New York will
also be delivering a plan
to the new administration
with some ideas from its
membership.

Caribbean-themed Holiday Market
PROSPECT PARK,
BROOKLYN — A holiday
market celebrating the
Caribbean has expanded
its hours and list of vendors
in a return to Prospect
Park this week, according
to organizers.
The CaribBeing Holiday
Market Pop-Up kicked
off at the LeFrak Center
at Lakeside on Sunday,
bringing 20 beauty, culinary,
clothing, jewelry and
wellness artisans to the
park.
The market — which
set up only 15 vendors
three days a week last year
— will be open Wednesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays,
Saturdays and Sundays
this season. It will run
through Dec. 30.
“Presented in partnership
with Prospect Park
Alliance, this pop-up holiday
market celebrates the
riches and flavors of the
Caribbean,” organizers
wrote in an event posting.
CaribBeing is a cultural
organization that transformed
a solar-powered
shipping container into a
venue for artists. It was
introduced in Flatbush,
known as Little Caribbean,
and has appeared
across New York City.
The market will have
limited capacity given the
small space and maskwearing
is mandatory
to attend, according to
organizers. It is open from
12 to 6 pm each of the days
it runs.
