On March 16, 2020, New York City bars were ordered shut by the governor. While some waited for reopening, many wondered if that would happen. In “Pandemic Shift,” co-creators Andrew Hunter and Aaron Fischer captured the moments and moods of service workers in front of their closed establishments.
Here is Kris, bartender at Tom & Jerry’s on Elizabeth Street. Another Lower East Side staple. The fellas there are pros, and you know when you’re there that it’s something special.
