1. New York City has had quite a year.
This is so New York. An electronic sign over the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx reads "Outside With No Mask? Fuhgeddaboutit"
2. But New Yorkers have handled it in ways only they could:
3. From this woman with a sign on her back telling people to back the fuck up:
New Yorkers being New Yorkers #NYC #Covid_19
4. To this flow chart from early in the pandemic telling people to stay home:
5. All the people clapping at 7 p.m. every day:
Gives me chills every night. United apart. I love NYC. <3
6. And this person telling someone to "shut the fuck up" who was singing outside their window:
How NYC handles balcony singing
7. New York City has kept its *charm*:
Only in New York!!!
8. From all of the creative face masks:
In the holiday spirit. #nyc #MTA #nycmta #onlyinnewyork #NY
9. Like this Chrysler Building one:
Only in New York! The Chrysler Building face mask...
10. To all the good face mask signs:
I love NYC .. “no mask .. no taco”
11. I particularly like this "weird and gross" sign about littering:
12. Even our statues wear masks!
Yep. Patience. Fortitude. Wisdom. Strength. #nycstrong
13. Seriously, it's a thing:
Even the statue I walked by had a mask on!
14. From all the New Yorkers helping each other out, like this friendly neighbor:
I love this guy and I love New York.
15. To strangers coming together for a "podless" winter social:
Everyone is losing it
16. To whatever is going on here:
Spotted in Central Park
17. New Yorkers have shown just how creative they are:
My friend was doing his famous fried onion burger “burger slide” pickups today in BK. Sold out so fast! You come at a designated time and your burger comes fresh off his backyard grill! It’s everything I love about NY...
18. The bodegas have kept their senses of humor:
Bodega sign on Ave C.
19. And they've kept us updated on the important things — their cats:
Bodega on the corner shut down, but the bodega cat is fine!
"Don't worry, our cat Nabi is with us at home."
20. Life has gone on:
#onlyinnyc #NYC #NYCMTA
21. People have done what they can to live a normal life:
The struggle is real, my man set shop in middle of the street. #onlyinnyc #gottamakethatmoney #nycreopening cc: @Ally110867
22. Just don't mess with our hand sanitizer:
In today’s episode of “the new normal”: Why yes, that’s a gallon vat of some very strongly scented hand sanitizer. And yes, it’s winched to the sink with a chain thick enough to tow a car. 😂😂 #onlyinnewyork #onlyinny #watkinsglen #newyork #why #newnormal #tuesdayvibes
23. Yes, even we can't believe de Blasio ran for president:
Why I love NYC
24. And don't even get us started on Cuomo:
Love that this is catching on. Only in New York.
25. From this socially distanced license plate:
bro what 😭😭
26. To this Ted Cruz missing sign:
This is in Brooklyn.
27. New Yorkers have gotten through the past year with humor:
Only in New York
28. And bagels, lots of bagels:
Here is a bagel snowman.
29. And though our curbside dining can be questionable:
Only in New York. #nyc
30. Really questionable:
Phase II curbside dining, Avenue A ✌️
31. New Yorkers will *truly* do anything for some outdoor seating:
that tree was trying to social distance
32. In the past year, New Yorkers have come together:
This is what #NYTough looks like. Every SINGLE person on my train is wearing a mask! Proud to be a New Yorker because we support a safe environment for all! @NYStateofHealth @NYGovCuomo #COVID19 #WearAMask #WearAMaskSaveALife
33. Our first responders never gave up:
I am a physician on the front lines in NYC and my colleagues and I are doing the best I can with what I have to work with. I go to work to save lives. I sacrifice my own health for yours. The worst is yet to come so PLEASE STAY HOME. #coronavirus #Covid_19 #StayHome
34. Our businesses remained open:
Our greatest flex is that our original cart from the 1990's, on 53rd & 6th in NYC, is still standing today (even through a global pandemic) 💪 📸: @ notorious_eat #TheHalalGuys #WeAreDifferent #BeDifferent #AmericanHalalFood #AmericanHalal #Original #NYC #Throwback #NYCStrong
35. And in the end, we all survived this trauma:
It’s just so jarring
36. New York isn't so dead after all:
My neighborhood erupted into cheers not even a minute after Joe Biden was announced the winner. Never change, NYC. #Election2020
