The Big Apple is ready to welcome you back. There’s a new report that says this summer will certainly look different compared to the last, as there’s a good chance that you will be able to enjoy a New York City-style hot dog, a trip to the museum and even possibly catch a show this summer. That’s because Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to fully re-open the city by July 1st. Here’s what you need to know.
New York City Will Be Fully Open For The Summer – Here’s What You Need To Know
As many people can recall, New York City was hit badly and was even considered the epicenter for the Covid-19 pandemic during the first and second quarters of last year. But now that more and more people are getting vaccinated, de Blasio is hopeful that New York City can come back strong sooner rather than later.
“We are ready for stores to open, for businesses to open, offices, theaters, full strength,” de Blasio said in announcing the date on Morning Joe.
“This is going to be the summer of NYC,” the mayor added.
Restaurants, gyms, shops, hair salons and arenas will open at full capacity. But according to New York State Governor, he would like to see the city open even before de Blasio’s proposed date.
“I don’t want to wait that long. I think if we do what we have to do we can reopen earlier,” Cuomo said, according to NBC New York.
With that said, Broadway may take a bit longer to light up, de Blasio added, but theaters are on track to reopen in September because of the time it takes to mount a full production.
“We do have work to do, I want to emphasize,” de Blasio said. “Anyone who likes what I’m saying, help us out by going out and getting vaccinated if you haven’t already.”
As far as things are progressing the way they are right now, this means that New York City will certainly welcome tourists this summer with open arms. The number of coronavirus-related hospitalizations and new reported cases in the city are also continuing to drop.
