When most of us think about New York City, images of the traffic, the pollution, and the crowds come to mind. The legendary hustle and bustle doesn’t necessarily scream elder friendliness. Though the city’s reputation as a haven just for the young is starting to change, as it is becoming a more accommodating place for aging adults.
In the Big Apple, pedestrians have been given more time to cross the street at over 400 intersections, which is a definite plus for seniors who aren’t necessarily that quick. Additionally, the city has employed yellow school buses to take seniors to the grocery store, making shopping a more convenient experience.

My friends and I have certainly noticed this on recent visits to the Big Apple. While it may be unrealistic expectations or the poor economy, New York seems less frazzled and rushed lately.
More people seem to be taking the time to enjoy life, which is good for everyone, regardless of age or physical ability.
