Seen & Heard: Phase 1 action in the neighborhood

June 10, 2020 Community News

With the slow reopening of business in the city — so far we have curbside pick up for some bookstores, clothing stores, florists and other miscellaneous retail — the neighborhood is showing more signs of life. A few are listed here. You can also use the state’s Regulation Wizard if you’re curious. Or just call your favorite shop to check.


BALLOON SALOON IS BACK
While you can’t go in the store, you can order online or call in Tuesday-Sunday, 9a to 3p. You must wear a mask when you pick up your order.

THE NEW LUXURY: BROWSING FOR BOOKS
The Mysterious Bookshop on Warren is back open for curbside or door-front deliveires — call if you know what you want and they will have your order ready. A maximum of three customers may be admitted inside the store at any time, so calling ahead to make an appointment is advisable. Face masks required. From the shop: “For all of you who ordered books from our website that had to be fulfilled by our distributor, thank you very much. We have amassed a mountain of debt while our doors have been locked for nearly three months, but your purchases helped a great deal and we sincerely appreciate your support.”

STILL KEEPING IT REAL ON CANAL STREET
Canal Sound & Light is open for in-store pickup, delivery and curbside. Hours are 11a – 7p, Monday – Saturday.

AND THE NEW CANAL STREET…
Come Back Daily, the CBD store that opened first on Broadway, is back open now, but with very limited hours. Your window is Monday to Friday, 11 to 1p, and they are also doing delivery and curbside pickup.

    How long can our local stores and restaurants stay open if most of their customers are not here? If offices continue to stay closed, we will see stores close, more plywood and more homeless and mentally ill people in our neighborhood.

      In some ways this is like an extended summer with people away in the Hamptons. If schools and offices come back even at partial capacity and staggered hours in the fall, the situation should improve.

      That said, I think (hope?) a lot of (younger, non-pre-existing-condition) people are going to adapt to life with COVID-19 because they are emotionally tired of the social isolation, home schooling, and working from home. Even if these become imperatives again temporarily in the fall/winter 2020/21, our neighborhood in particular has plenty of large loft spaces in less densely populated buildings better-suited IMO to social distancing than trying to live in some 60 or 70 story tower with shared elevators and communal amenities, whether in more densely packed neighborhoods or not.
