New York City is facing two very intertwined crises, the coronavirus pandemic and the mass protests against police brutality and racism. Before the protests began, the “Off Topic/On Politics” team began this project to look back and examine some of the ways the virus has altered our communities. Courtney Gross and political director Bob Hardt discuss the summer ahead of us in the Rockaways, Zack Fink goes on a bike ride with his daughter on the Upper West Side, and Juan Manuel Benitez takes us to a wine store in Morningside Heights. We want to hear how you're coping with the coronavirus pandemic: Twitter: #NY1OffTopic or @ZackFinkNews, @JuanMaBenitez, and @Courtneycgross Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: [email protected] For more information: www.ny1.com/offtopic For more information on the new coronavirus, head to www.ny1.com/coronavirus
