What would a post-pandemic future look like in New York? Think smaller bars and restaurants with rooftops/outdoor seating in locations people can access without a subway ride, one expert said.
The obvious things are obvious: Staggered shifts in the office. Spaced-out tables in restaurants. Hand sanitizer everywhere.
The post-COVID future belongs to smaller, neighborhood venues, especially restaurants, bars and lounges with a rooftop or an outdoor garden, in locations people can get to without a taxi or subway ride, Rabin said. The only workable answer may be setting rents as a percentage of revenues, at least temporarily. Eight percent is a figure being thrown around. “Otherwise,” Rabin said, “the city stays boarded up the way it’s boarded up now. Nobody wants that.”At the same time the threat of infection is defining New York after dark, the coronavirus has also delivered wrenching new challenges into the realm of family care, as people struggle to look after their elderly, sick and disabled loved ones.
These situations aren’t close to rare in a nation where half the people have one or more chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer or heart disease and where more people than ever live into their 80s, 90s and beyond. With nearly 40% of COVID-19 deaths traced to nursing homes, assisted-living centers and long-term care facilities, many families are trying to juggle these issues at home.
