New York City is ready to dazzle visitors again
New York City felt like it was almost its bustling self again as I walked through the streets enjoying the warm spring weather during a recent trip.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% 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.
Face coverings are still required on all public transportation until further notice and in Broadway theaters at least until May 31.Recently, COVID cases have been on the rise in New York due to the new highly contagious Omicron subvariant, BA.2.12.1.
