Things to do in NYC in 2019 marks the end of an era. The COVID-19 Pandemic actually began this year, but only burst out into the world in 2020.
What a change. There is no going back. New York City is always changing anyway. NYC will come back in a new way, but this is how it used to be, once upon a time in New York City.
