Unlike in many other episodes from history, the heroes of our time are not soldiers or fighters, but doctors and scientists. On the front lines of the battle with COVID-19, healthcare workers are putting themselves in harm’s way so they can treat as many patients as possible. Out of all the cities affected by the disease, New York City stands out as the nation’s biggest hotspot. But New Yorkers are a tightly knit crowd, and to show their appreciation for first responders and healthcare workers, people all over the city took to their balconies and let out a massive round of applause. At exactly 7 p.m. on March 28 and 29, the streets of New York shook with the sounds of appreciation for the bravest souls manning our hospitals and ambulances. This trend may have started in NYC, but we encourage everyone around the country to applaud these heroes whenever you have a chance. They deserve it.

From Hurricane Sandy to 9/11, NYC has endured the test of time.
