We now wear masks when go out for our daily walks. Not gonna lie, I hate it. But it's necessary and we must do it (everyone must!) in order to stay safe and protect others.
One positive thing about this mad, mad world is slowing down and getting to know our surrounding neighborhoods intimately. We take our time because these days we have more than a New York minute.
I notice little shops - ones I've passed a hundred times - and tuck them away in my mind for a future visit. I say a little prayer for these mom-and-pops, that they will survive this economic devastation and re-open after the pandemic is over.
I love you, New York.
