NEW YORK CITY (WABC) Eighty-nine-year-old New Yorker Bob Holzman received his COVID-19 vaccine as soon as he could, hoping it would allow him to get back to his favorite activity, dancing.
Over the last 75 years, Holzman has danced his way around the city s events to the rhythms of swing, fox-trot, samba, and salsa.
And until last year, he had never missed a Lincoln Center s Midsummer Night Swing opening. He had been a fixture in dance parties at Manhattan s Bryant Park and other places with dance floors around the Big Apple.
But when the pandemic struck in March of 2020, Holzman found himself stuck at home, happily occupied reading electronic books on loan from the New York Public Library on a variety of topics, such as politics, science, and art, and playing scrabble online with friends.

It maybe snowy where you are but a mega snowstorm has caused havoc along the east coast of the USA, grounding flights and forcing vaccination centres in New York City and surrounding areas to close.
By Monday afternoon 43cm of snow had already fallen on the city with 48cm recorded in neighbouring New Jersey!
Both states have declared a state of emergency with wind gusts of 50mph expected over the coming days.
The storm is expected to travel north up the coast to New England, according to the US National Weather Service.
