NYC warming centers for Sandy victims

Temperatures are dropping, and New York City has opened emergency warming centers in each borough to help elderly Hurricane Sandy victims with no heat stay warm.  Unfortunately, these centers are only open during the day, which means you still have to sleep in the cold.  The list follows, and is also on the NYC official website.
