Covid-19 pandemic: permanent closure of many businesses in New York

At first glance, one has the impression that New York is as usual: the city that never sleeps, the city of all the extravagances where you meet a half-naked cowboy in the middle of the street without anyone seeing ‘surprised. Yet in some places New York has almost become a ghost town. It has lost thousands of bars and restaurants, and the number of shops that have gone bankrupt is untold.

According to a recent study, 92% of New York restaurants were unable to pay their rent in December. When night falls, the city is quieter than before, deprived of its 65 million tourists who come every year.

Across town, in Brooklyn, are many French restaurants. Moving abroad and opening a wine bar in the United States was Alexandra’s dream. In order not to shut down and overcome the coronavirus pandemic, there was only one solution: hard work. At the worst of the crisis, one in two restaurants closed. New York is on the verge of bankruptcy and the city is only just beginning to be reborn.
