Hurray for Essential Workers

Upper West Side, New York

At 7 pm New Yorkers have been going to their windows and balconies to make noise and cheer all the essential workers, medical experts and personnel, grocers, delivery-people, etc, who make life under Covid bearable, possible, even. Most evenings I can’t see where all the noise is coming from (my wife and I joke that it’s applause for our cooking as we’re usually sitting down to dinner when it happens). From my rooftop eyrie a week and a half ago I got to see it from a whole new perspective.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Riverside Park, New York

Riverside Park’s as far West as you can go in NYC and much less packed a couple of weeks ago than Central Park (also people were much more likely to be wearing masks and making it clear that they were keeping their distance).

Mask? We Don’t Need no Steenkin’ Mask! Chin Guard Edition

104th St and Central Park West, New York

One thing I’ve come to recognize is masks worn as fashion accessories on the chin. Very popular in the park last weekend. There also appear to be a lot of people who can’t see the screens of their phones with masks on and must lower them to Google things.
