As the coronavirus continues to grip my favorite city of New York, I find myself making vows of where I plan to go once this terrible crisis is over. It’s a horrible, powerless feeling to know that so many are suffering there.  

One thing I have found that helps me when I feel helpless is to grab my calendar, devise a plan and make a list.

Staying at home in the countryside of New Jersey, I am plotting like a chess master champion how I plan to (Lord willing) shop, dine and support all the businesses and restaurants that are being hurt by this pandemic, both locally and in Manhattan. 

New York City has faced hard times before and will overcome. This too shall pass.
