This time is different. You\u2019re never supposed to say that but this time it\u2019s true. If you believe this time is no different, that NYC is resilient, I hope you\u2019re right.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cNYC has experienced worse.\u201d No it hasn\u2019t,’ he wrote.<\/p>\n
His comedy club are among those that have closed.<\/p>\n
‘It\u2019s a great club. It\u2019s been around since 1986 and before that it was a theater…we have no idea when we will open. Nobody has any idea.<\/p>\n
‘And the longer we remain closed, the less chance we will ever reopen profitably.<\/p>\n
‘Broadway is closed until at least the spring. The Lincoln Center is closed. All the museums are closed.<\/p>\n
‘Forget about the tens of thousands of jobs lost in these cultural centers. Forget even about the millions of dollars of tourist-generated revenues lost by the closing of these centers.<\/p>\n
‘There are thousands of performers, producers, artists, and the entire ecosystem of art, theater, production, curation, that surrounds these cultural centers. People who have worked all of their lives for the right to be able to perform even once on Broadway, whose lives and careers have been put on hold.<\/p>\n
‘I get it. There was a pandemic.<\/p>\n
‘But the question now is: What happens next? And, given the uncertainty (since there is no known answer), and given the fact that people, cities, economies loathe uncertainty, we simply don\u2019t know the answer and that\u2019s a bad thing for New York City.\u00a0‘<\/p>\n
Among the biggest loss is the closure of restaurants.<\/p>\n
‘My favorite restaurant is closed for good. OK, let\u2019s go to my second favorite. Closed for good. Third favorite, closed for good,’ he said.<\/p>\n
FASTER INTERNET MAKES WORKING FROM HOME EASIER THAN AFTER 9\/11<\/span><\/p>\n‘I\u00a0lived three blocks from Ground Zero on 9\/11.<\/p>\n
‘Downtown, where I lived, was destroyed, but it came roaring back within two years. Such sadness and hardship and then quickly that area became the most attractive area in New York.<\/p>\n
‘And in 2008\/2009, there was much suffering during the Great Recession, again much hardship, but things came roaring back.<\/p>\n
‘But\u2026 this time is different. You\u2019re never supposed to say that but this time it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
‘If you believe this time is no different, that NYC is resilient, I hope you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n
‘I don\u2019t benefit from saying any of this. I love NYC. I was born there. I\u2019ve lived there forever. I STILL live there. I love everything about NYC. I want 2019 back.<\/p>\n
