According to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC):

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for New York City.

Therefore, today, 7/17/19 through Sunday, 7/21/19 the cooling center at the Roosevelt Island Senior Center (located at 546 Main St) will be open from 9AM until 9PM.

As a reminder, a cooling center will be made available when the heat index becomes dangerously high. Individuals without air conditioning, particularly those at risk for heat-related illness, should use established cooling centers during a heat wave.

Stay as cool as you can.
