NEW YORK – The city that never sleeps had a curfew for much of last week. Famous stores were boarded up after days of unrest.
The lights are out on Broadway theaters, and the subway no longer runs overnight.But after three bleak months, New York City will try to turn a page when it begins reopening Monday after getting hit first by the coronavirus, then an outpouring of rage over racism and police brutality.With the virus in check — at least for now — New York is easing restrictions that shut down schools, businesses and much of city life in March.Construction, manufacturing, wholesalers and previously “nonessential” retailers can resume work, with restrictions.
