The city, like many others, is forever changed after more than two years of the COVID pandemic. But in true New York fashion, the Big Apple is coming back.
It was my second trip within six months after about a two and a half year break New Yorkers rolled up their sleeves (more than 80 percent are vaccinated), masked up and have done pretty much everything they can to get their groove back.
However, COVID subvariants continue to emerge in the ongoing pandemic. Some venues are still enforcing proof of vaccination and masks.
