Nyc was pretty empty today. Lots of small businesses boarded up. We need more target stimulus toward small businesses agree or disagree? Contd.

I also rode a Citi Bike along the Hudson River Greenway, all the way up to Riverside Park. I was dodging pedestrians, fellow cyclists, and people holding (non-socially distant.........) cookouts in the park, left and right 😂

NYC was popping today. Some places not as much as “usual” in the summer but others looked like COVID wasn’t a thing - talking about gathering outside of restaurants and in stores as well. It really, really depended on the area I think. Lots of areas were only partially masking. Source: Walked a bit of downtown - Tribeca, Soho, Nolita, Little Italy, LES, Chinatown, Civic Center, etc.

I don’t know where you were but the entire weekend I saw NYC packed! Most restaurants downtown are doing outdoor seating and most small boutiques were open for business aka Phase 2 while we are technically still in Phase 1. Here’s a picture from LES....

That's hot dogs and beer, but the lines are everywhere. Some places have smoothies in IV bags.

The White Horse Tavern has about 50 people outside of it at any given time.

Also, the Union Square Greenmarket was up and running this weekend - here’s a very distant view from the sidewalk outside the market

So basically NYC been reduced to a street fair in a few areas?

Walk around take out food. Move on. Have a drink.

Sure there drinking and take out. But that’s not what makes New York City great?

Waiting on phase II open.

I mean, I don’t know what you really want. NYC was, by far, hit the hardest in the entirety of this country, and arguably is up there with Wuhan itself on a global level. We’re opening at a pace that makes sense, and will ensure the safety of New Yorkers; this is what has to be done. There’s no “reset” button on all of this.
