Broadway sings New York’s blues as crime, costs slow post-COVID comeback

The Trump verdict last Thursday overshadowed a far more disturbing portent for New York: yet another daytime attack in the heart of Times Square, the second in a month, this time a machete assault outside a McDonald’s at 45th and Broadway.

New York’s failure to control crime — regular crime, not Trump crime — is slowing its tourism recovery, as new statistics from Broadway’s theater industry show.

Like New York overall, Broadway is having a slow rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sounds like Toronto.
