Mayor Eric Adams inside Veselka restaurant in the East Village this week.On a rainy Wednesday, foot traffic was scant among the warren of alleys and streets that make up Manhattan’s Financial District. Save for the incessant sound of drilling, New York City’s famed engine of commerce looked depressingly depleted of life, a far cry from the pre-pandemic scene of fast-walking and fast-talking pedestrians.
Hochul added that she envisioned a future where people come in “at least three to four days at minimum” so as to benefit from social interaction and in-person collaboration. “We were just talking about how we can do this together,” Adams told reporters afterwards. “How can we get this city up and operating?”
“I don't think under the best of circumstances you're going to see the return to office approach 75% by the end of the year,” said James Parrott, an economist at the New School’s Center for New York City Affairs. “People's expectations have changed a lot. And I think businesses have also seen that it's not completely disruptive to their operations.”
Jessica Lappin, president of the Alliance for Downtown New York, an advocacy group, said that it was premature to write off a full return to the office because of the importance of in-person interactions, especially for mentoring and career development.
