Abstract

A systematic assessment of the effect of COVID-19 on the food retail environment—an important determinant of health—has not been conducted. Our objective was to assess the impact of COVID-19 on closures of restaurants, food retail stores, and fresh produce vendors in New York City (NYC). We conducted a cross-sectional study following the peak of COVID-19 in six neighborhoods in NYC. Two Chinese ethnic neighborhoods and four higher/lower resourced comparison neighborhoods were selected a priori based on 14 sociodemographic indicators. The primary outcome was indefinite/temporary closures or absence of food businesses. Of 2720 food businesses identified, produce vendors and restaurants were more likely to close than food retail stores. A higher proportion of food businesses closed in Chinese ethnic neighborhoods vs. comparison neighborhoods. COVID-19 impacted food businesses in six NYC neighborhoods examined in this period, with the greatest effect observed for Chinese ethnic neighborhoods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article discusses the lingering presence of outdoor dining sheds in New York City, which were constructed during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic to support the struggling restaurant industry. These structures, which were once widespread across the city, allowed customers to eat outdoors when indoor dining was restricted. However, as winter arrives, the sheds are no longer welcome and must be torn down and stored. While some argue that the sheds disrupt traffic and create noise and litter, others believe that dismantling and reconstructing them would be too expensive for restaurant owners. The sheds serve as a reminder of the efforts made to maintain a sense of normalcy during the pandemic. [Extracted from the article]
