COVID on the Upper East Side

Covid may seem far in our past, but it was just five years ago that our lives were rearranged and the future of the city became a big question mark. The East Side, however, persevered.
Here are some memories:
Dining al fresco at the Palace Restaurant coffee shop, East 57th Street.


Inspiration from Tiffany.
Gems gone from the window — and the mobs who gasped at them.


Park Avenue on a work day.
Maggie’s Place, on East 47th Street, showing true grit.


Scary signs everywhere we looked.
A nearly empty Acela car headed to New York from Boston.


Grand Central Terminal at 4:45 on a weekday afternoon.
Can you believe?
Central Park was a quiet wilderness on a perfect summer afternoon.


We still had to eat. The restaurant was always open at the Central Park Zoo.
