Our latest YouTube video "RIDING THE NYC SUBWAY DURING CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN: IS IT SAFE?" is live!

We take a ride on the #NYC subway during the Coronavirus lockdown to see if it safe to travel during the COVID-19 quarantine pandemic. 

We start our subway trip in Manhattan at the usually very busy Union Square / 14 Street subway hub which connects the 4,5,6,N,R,Q,W and L subway lines. 

Union Square is fairly empty of people at 9:45 AM and we take the 4 express train to the City Hall / Chambers Street station and transfer to the J local train to travel to Bushwick, Brooklyn. The car we ride in is empty at times and the people who are traveling are all safely wearing masks. 

We look out the window of the first subway car as we ride above ground in Brooklyn and take note of neighborhood sites and buildings. 

We exit the subway at the Gates Avenue stop on the border of the Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhoods of Brooklyn at around 10:20 AM.  

Note that face coverings are REQUIRED while riding the New York subway system.

Full video: https://youtu.be/A2ODgeujB5U 

In our walk with our dog during the Coronavirus Lockdown in New York we travel from Union Square in Manhattan via Broadway to an empty Times Square in Midtown, Manhattan.  On our way we see how empty Herald Square is during the pandemic and see the streets mainly devoid of tourists surrounding the "Crossroads of the World" in Times Square.  Even though Times Square is largely empty, the Naked Cowboy is still out playing his guitar.

Le Fournil, a new French bakery in the East Village, NYC

Le Fournil, a new French bakery in the East Village, which opened in the #storefront formerly occupied by Moishe’s Kosher Bakery for 40 years was sadly vandalized on Saturday night following peaceful protests against racial inequality at Union Square in memory of George Floyd. 

• While filming our YouTube video documenting the then peaceful protest on East 14th Street, we also witnessed the nearby damage of the #protest turned riot where some instigators smashed the front windows of @lefournilnyc and a few other businesses along Second Avenue. Despite the extensive window damage (seen in our video) the bakery reopened on Sunday morning selling its delicious French pastries, bread 🥖 and some savory items. The owner even posted a note on the plywood-covered window that they support #blacklivesmatter .

Protest against racial inequality at Union Square escalates.

Full video: https://youtu.be/zmur5qqCUt0 

We walked with our dog to see the #protest at Union Square in Manhattan in memory of George Floyd, justice and #blacklivesmatter late. 

We saw a massive police presence around Union Square, thousands of protestors marching along the streets of NYC and being arrested after clashes with police. Just a few hours ago it was announced that NYC will be instituting a citywide curfew starting at 11pm so this late night protest will be among the last ones documented.
