Yes, please! One of my favorite quotes, usually attributed to Darwin is, "It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change." During these times we must think of new ways to live, adapt and evolve. We must ensure that New York's hospitality industry survives and thrives because it is the glue that keeps this wonderful city together.

As lockdown continues, a City Council bill would make the city carve out space where restaurants could serve people outside.

I can tell you the courts are already opening back up.

A lot of times your landlord, creditors, business partners, etc. are just looking for respect, a response and a plan. Call them (or have your counsel call them) and try to work something out before you become overwhelmed by the situation. The "Ostrich Head in the Sand" approach is never the right one. It will end of costing you time, energy and money.

Good article explaining risks and options.

No person, business, industry, philanthropic organization, or institution has escaped the burdens and pain of Covid-19, and while it feels like a lifetime already, its impact has only begun to reveal itself.
