In my neighborhood on Long Island, local restaurants epitomize resilience. From their humble beginnings Bagel Boss, Krishes, Marvel, Bella Vista, and La Piazza evolved into bustling landmarks of personal memories and delicious meals. Struck by the uncertainty of coronavirus, these restaurants are fighting not only for survival but for their hundreds of employees and thousands of patrons. Adaptations such as curbside delivery and social distancing protocols depict resilience as an ever evolving, community effort to minimize damage caused by the pandemic.
