Times are tough, but New York City is tougher.
It's a challenging time all over the country, and it feels even harder and more painful right now in New York City. We're feeling that too. We've all still got a ways to go to overcome this crisis, but we know that New York will also be a beacon of hope to the world. Just as sure as we’re facing challenging times now, so too will we roll up our sleeves and heal, rebuild, and recover with that tenacity and grit you can only find in New York City.
Working together, even as we practice social distancing and follow the CDC's and the Health Department's guidelines, we know we'll get through this.
