The Y has been an integral part of Chinatown and the Lower East Side since the 1970's. Their Houston Street Center, opened in 2006, has quickly become a neighborhood hot spot, with state-of-the-art recreational and educational facilities. From swimming and fitness programs to after-school and older adult programs and community events, the Chinatown Y is a hub of one of New York's most historic and diverse neighborhoods.
