""Younger people often lament about how amazing the New York of yesterday seemed. Vin and I want to show that 'old New York' is still accessible through the seniors who lived in it.""
""Many of them are still here. If we want to tap into what made the city so great then, we have to connect with them and ask them about it now.""
""Not all seniors are gray-haired and frail, have bad teeth, or need a cane. I hadn't been inside a nightclub in more than 30 years before Gaffney and Nucatola showed up at my apartment.""
Johnny Gaffney and Vin Nucatola, both 38, created the viral "Like Old Times" series, inviting seniors to revisit beloved activities in New York City. They ask seniors about past joys and make those experiences happen, garnering millions of views. Gaffney emphasizes the importance of connecting with seniors to access the essence of 'old New York.' Elizabeth Katz, 79, enjoyed a night of disco dancing after decades, showcasing that seniors can still embrace vibrant experiences.
