Happy Sunday, Lower East Side-Chinatown! I am your host Patrick Murray bringing you everything you need to know to as this weekend comes to an end.

First, today's weather:

Partly cloudy with a high of 46 and a low of 44.

Here are the top stories today in Lower East Side-Chinatown:

1. A homeless shelter for Chinatown elderly is being planned for East Broadway. The former Hotel 91 will be transformed into the new "Safe Haven" facility. The focus will be on serving Chinese speaking seniors and preparing them for the transition to permanent affordable housing. The new shelter will include security and a "high quality health center" open to the public. (Bowery Boogie)
