You’ve seen the signs all over the city since businesses started pivoting to takeout, delivery or temporarily shutting down.
Some signs are handwritten, some are printed, some are displayed on a marquee, but all are capturing moments in time during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The New York Times published its signs in Manhattan on Saturday, April 4. Thanks for the inspiration, NYT.
