All of what you described, dining, theater, other entertainment, not to mention any and all businesses, require an audience and a client-base. NYC though I haven’t seen it up close since March, is now giving off a very unpleasant looking and feeling atmosphere.It will take FOREVER to restore even a sense of basic safety in the city, considering what happened there in the way of rioting and looting. Everywhere I look and every fact I try to wrap my head around indicates New York is on life support with its Chief of Staff trying to pull the plug.
A fried of mine worked in NYC for a few years until late July. They were in the city 2-3 days a weed during CCPVirus on average. They said that when they left NYC had it was very tense and everyone was on edge. Their was that feeling that the future was uncertain and it could change day to day, not for the better, but the worse. Every time a protest turned violent, store boarded up or closed, people became more guarded and accepting the is the future if I stay.
