When Governor Andrew Cuomo took to the airwaves on Thursday afternoon to announce new bans on mass gatherings in the state, Broadway shows were one of the first New York City standbys to go dark, but in the past 24 hours, the closures have piled up. From the New York Public Library to myriad museums, cultural institutions, and indoor play spaces, the city is gearing up for a whole new way of life. Sunday night brought even more changes with Mayor Bill de Blasio announcing bars and cafes will be limited to take-out and delivery orders only, and that nightclubs, theaters, and small concert venues must close effective Tuesday, March 17 at 9am.
