Boarded up stores and empty streets are all you’ll find in Soho now that New York has adjusted to life indoors.
As if preparing for a hurricane, plywood covers store windows on just about every block. With retail stores deemed nonessential, and high-end shopping being Soho’s main draw, the streets are now eerily empty.
This is a look inside Soho during the shutdown.
