It's not easy to stay inside on spring days and with such gorgeous parks, but remember social distancing if you go out. (194 Riverside Drive via Elliman)
As another week in these strange times begins, New Yorkers go into it on PAUSE ("Policies Assure Uniform Safety for Everyone") with all non-essential businesses closed and their workers ordered to stay home. However, as both employees of essential companies and people stepping out for fresh air are coming to find, "social distancing" presents quite a challenge in a city where crowded transportation, sidewalks, and parks make it hard for people to stay more than six feet apart from each other. For those reasons, the city is considering closing some streets to cars and opening them to pedestrians.
Of course, the best way to flatten the curve and prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to simply stay inside. These apartments allow their owners to enjoy the lush greenery of the city's greatest parks, from Prospect to Riverside, without putting anyone at risk. Moreover, we've calculated the number of New Yorkers who can safely fit in the parks with six feet of breathing room on all sides.
