Not Quite There Yet

My favorite coffee place still has a red sticker on it, meaning the structure has not been deemed fit to enter. This could mean the structure is unsound--but at least one restaurant on the same block has yellow stickers (ok to enter and get stuff but not to use and occupy), and one place has actually passed all the hurdles and re-opened (presumably on generator power). The buildings on the block do not appear to be fundamentally distinct, so my guess is that the coffee shop folks have abandoned or terminated their lease.

There are five Duane Reades on or below Wall Street (i.e., a few minutes' walk from each other). The one on Water Street was closed for quite a while, but is back up and running. The one on Beaver Street has not yet reopened, but it seems likely that they are renovating it so it will as nice as the others.

My office building is still on mobile generators. We lost power this afternoon and were evacuated.

Many shops remain cash only. Long lines at several food and beverage places at lunch time, though, which is a good sign of a return to normal.
