NEW YORK, N.Y. Broadway has been dark for almost a year now.
But with recent announcements in New York, there is hope that a return is on the horizon. All entertainment venues including theaters, bars and comedy clubs are allowed to reopen April 2, but at a significantly reduced capacity due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

State officials announced this week that after nearly a year of being shutdown, arts and entertainment venues in New York City can begin reopening at 33% capacity on April 2nd, with an indoor max of 100-150 attendees. Capacity for indoor events will be limited to 100 people no matter the venue size, unless that venue can administer COVID-19 tests to all attendees, in which case the limit is increased to 150 people.
If tests are administered for an outdoor venue, that number will rise from 200 to 500 attendees.
The announcement was a surprise to some in the arts sector, many of whom have spent months lobbying the state to loosen restrictions for their industry, as it had been for restaurants and other establishments.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. For some of us, March 1 is a significant day. In West Brighton, it marked the last Forest Avenue St. Patrick’s parade. And the date also might be remembered as the first coronavirus death was recorded in New York City. But we’re thinking of the food aspect of the month and, pandemic or not, Irish soda bread comes back to the borough for the season. With what does Renato’s Bakery’s cake-y version pair well? And, with Mark’s Bake Shoppe’s bread-like loaf, how can we kick the traditional, Irish food up a notch?
