Our 'Portraits From The Pandemic' series continues

Our 'Portraits From The Pandemic' series continues with new stories of how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted New Yorkers have been told and retold. They form a shared history of how lives have changed during this unprecedented time (and we’ve been happy to help document some of them). 💕⁣
⁣
Today's share: Elena Clarke’s job is to make sure people get where they need to go. She’s a @panynj PATH engineer, and she’s been working all through the pandemic. Clarke’s shift goes from 3:30p to 11:30p. “I take people home from work, which I like because they seem to be in better spirits,” she said. ⁣
⁣
Though, in the last few weeks, Clarke has noticed a change.⁣
⁣
"Every day, I’m seeing more people, and it’s funny because it used to be that everyone rushes to sit down and kind-of like push each other out of the way to get a seat. But these days everyone’s a little more apprehensive of one another, a little more patient with each other, and I like seeing that." 🚉⁣

⁣
Today's share: In pre-COVID times each transaction at Cafe de Novo (94½ Greenwich St) took about 10 seconds. But, as the pandemic slowed business in Lower Manhattan to a trickle and required general manager David An to shift from doing paperwork behind the scenes into a more hands-on role, he found one significant silver lining.⁣
⁣
“You have more time to converse, to get to know people when you’re at the cash register,” David An said. “You can learn their names, find out more about them, you can have 20- or 30- minute conversations.” Amid the pandemic and shelter-in-place regulations, customers told him, these exchanges felt special. It was sometimes the only opportunity that they had to talk with someone.⁣
⁣
“It was good to hear that,” An continued. “It means our store has become more than a deli, it’s like a hangout place. That’s a breath of fresh air, for the customers as well as for me.” ⁣

Today's share: Even though he tries to stay in good spirits, life during the pandemic for Al Wright, a maintenance technician for @bpcparks Operation Department, has been tough. “It’s been up and down,” he said. “We never experienced anything like this. Then I lost a few family members.”⁣
⁣
But he’s glad he’s managed to continue to work at Battery Park City Authority, and the decrease in visitors and emphasis on social distancing has helped keep everyone safe, including Wright. “I’m a technician, so basically we do a lot of fixing, cleaning, keeping everything in shape, keeping the park looking good,” he said. “That’s what we do. We take care of Downtown.”⁣
