On Friday at 7 p.m., New Yorkers all across the city clapped for two minutes in order to show appreciation for essential workers during the coronavirus outbreak. There have been similar initiatives across the world, showing love to workers including grocery store employees, health care professionals, and so much more.
So incredible! #clapforNHS! @NHSuk ❤️
Walking around my area in Park Slope last night, I've gotta say that clapping with everyone couldn't help but put a smile on my face. So if you couldn't take part, or if you want to see what was going on in different parts of the city, then here are some of the best videos from New York City.
