The area around 59th St. and Lexington Ave. on Manhattan's Upper East Side has turned into a shopping wasteland.
One shopper tells FOX 5 News, "It's a sign of the times, you know."
Kathryn Wylde is a business expert in New York City and is the President and CEO of Partnership for New York City. "More people left ZIP codes on the Upper East Side during the pandemic for homes in other locations than any other ZIP codes in the city. So they have a loss of their customer base.""They were also an area that was very dependent on international tourism and business travelers for their shopping and activity and that’s been cut off for the last couple years," Wylde says.
