I had to go to work to pick up some books for a project. Our office is still closed, but facilities folks are around, so I arranged to go in on a day someone would be available to have the building open. So I walked down through Central Park (see photo above) into Midtown.
Lots of buildings are still boarded up. In many cases, it's because the stores are permanently closed (see both building just to the right of the Microsoft store above). In other cases, they just haven't reopened yet. Some retail businesses are now open on a pick-up only basis, but I'm not sure what the demand is to come in and pick up a ludicrously expensive timepiece.
Of course, the police are out guarding any statue that has been pointed out as racist, so you can't get close to Teddy and his subservient pals of color now. Both Columbus statues are similarly guarded.
