New York City was preparing for high winds and up to a foot of snow that could create dangerous conditions late Friday and into Saturday. And the city’s new mayor, Eric Adams, said he was ready for the challenge.
Mr. Adams donned a Sanitation Department hat and parka for a Friday afternoon news conference at which he warned drivers to stay off the roads. As trucks stood at the ready, he said that the city’s Covid testing and vaccine sites would be closed on Saturday, and outdoor dining would be suspended. But he quickly added that restaurants could stay open for indoor dining.
“One of the best ways to navigate the snow is to go inside and spend some money for our restaurants,” Mr. Adams said.
