While most were out strutting their stuff on Sixth Avenue this Halloween, the elderly of the East Village were on East 12th Street at the Sirovich Senior Center partaking in a party of their own.
A group of around 100 people, many of them over 80, got together to celebrate in festive, lively costumes. Party goers boogied down to everything from "The Monster Mash" to Missy Elliot's "Get Your Freak On," and also put their outfits to the test in a costume contest.
Charlie Chaplin, the Statue of Liberty an The Queen of England, among others, battled for the $50 first prize. All fantastic, but in the end only one could win and who better than...her majesty, The Queen of England!
