If you're planning a visit to New York City, here's everything you need to know to stay safe while traveling, including city etiquette, the latest COVID-19 advisories, and tips on when to visit.

COVID-19 advisories

New York City was hit early and hard by COVID-19, but the city has since fully reopened with regularly updated safety protocols.

Face coverings are no longer required at indoor public places, although they're still mandatory on mass transit, including the subway, and at Broadway shows and other performing arts venues. Private businesses can decide whether or not to enforce their own mask requirement, and some still do, so it's best to keep one handy just in case.

Businesses are also no longer required to ask patrons for proof of vaccination, whether for indoor or outdoor activities. However, in response to an increase in cases, on May 16, the health commissioner's office issued a new advisory that people wear medical masks during public indoor gatherings.

It's important to remember that the situation is fluid, and we recommend following the guidelines of the CDC, WHO, and other reputable agencies.

New York is a true four-season city, so the weather will vary dramatically depending on when you visit. Snow season generally starts in December, but is usually heaviest in January and February and can also continue in March. April and May see a fair amount of rainfall interspersed with overcast and sunny days.

The year's hottest months are typically July and August, and high humidity levels often carry through part of September before tapering off to cooler temperatures in October. 

If you want to come in the summer, June is a solid option for generally warm, sunny weather with a chance of rain. Late September and October are the most mild, which makes them a great time for a lot of walking and sightseeing. We also recommend late November and early December as one of the loveliest times of year to visit New York — although it will be colder, it won't be January cold, and that's when the city begins to buzz with holiday markets, window displays, ice skating rinks, and more festivities.

However, if you're looking for a snow-filled holiday, we'd recommend aiming for early- or mid-January, as the snow gets more slushy and wet (aka not fun to trudge through) in February. Just remember to bring a good coat and water-resistant boots, and you can pick up gloves or scarves if needed from the many street vendors that sell winter-weather accessories that time of year.

NYC etiquette

New Yorkers have a reputation for being blunt, some might even say rude, but that attitude usually comes down to the fact that everyone in the city is busy and has somewhere to be. Here are some quick tips to fit in smoothly with locals and enjoy your stay.

• Walk to the right on the sidewalk. If you're in a big group, be courteous and don't take up the whole sidewalk walking side by side.
• Don't stand still in the middle of the sidewalk or on busy street corners where foot traffic is coming from all directions. If you need to pause to check your phone for directions or after exiting a store, simply stand against the side of a building.
• Be aware of your surroundings and don't keep valuables like your phone or wallet in back pockets. 
• On the subway, let riders exit the train first before you get on.
• If you need directions, rather than asking someone walking by (who may not have time to stop or might not live in the area), we recommend running into a bodega or shop and asking someone working inside.

Coronavirus Information and Resources

Covid-19 remains a reality for us. Stay up to date with the help of the info below.

The Current Situation

• Mask-wearing is no longer mandated in New York City, though wearing a mask on the subway, bus and trains remains strongly recommended. Similarly, proof of vaccination is no longer required anywhere in the city.

• You still must wear a mask if visiting a doctor, dentist, hospital or any health care facility in New York.

• NYC Department of Health recommends similar masking in indoor spaces and crowded outdoor settings to slow the spread of Covid-19 (as well as other airborne illnesses), but this is not required.

• Individual businesses (such as shops and theaters) may continue to require masks and proof of vaccination at their own discretion—they have the right to ask you to leave if you refuse to comply.

• People who test positive for Covid-19 are advised to isolate at their homes or accommodation for at least 5 days and wear a mask in public spaces for at least 10 days after their symptoms began.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are available and recommended for all age groups, including—as of June 22, 2022—children between 6 months and 5 years old; see  here  for more details and below for where to get vaccines in the City. Boosters, including the  bivalent ones , are encouraged for all who are eligible (see more below). Note that in September 2022, City Hall lifted the vaccine mandate for all private employers in New York City—a policy that had gone into effect in December of the previous year—and left the policy to the discretion of the employers. 

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control recommend that everyone 5 and older get a booster shot five months after receiving a two-course dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine and two months after receiving a single dose of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine. A second booster is also recommended for adults 50 and over; it should be at least four months after the first booster and should be an mRNA (Moderna or Pfizer) vaccine. For more information, visit  cdc.gov .

As mentioned above, mask wearing is recommended in indoor spaces and on public transit, though the mandates for each have been lifted. Businesses may still choose to implement the mandate, and the mask requirement remains in effect for health-care facilities.

Broadway Broadway shows are back in full. To help consumers, the Broadway League publishes updated  schedules online of all the shows playing on Broadway. This resource also provides access to each Broadway show’s website for more information. All listings include the most current information on performance times and reflect any last-minute cancellations.

Broadway theaters in New York City have stopped checking vaccinations for audience members as well as for performers, backstage crew and staff. Masks are also optional—though still encouraged—for audiences inside theaters. For more information, visit  broadway.org .

MTA The NYC subway continues to operate with 24-hour service. As mentioned above, mask-wearing in the system is now optional, though strongly encouraged. For more information, visit  mta.info .

These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others. If you test positive for COVID-19, call the following numbers for information on treatments and other assistance: 1-888-364-3065 (All of New York State) 1-212-COVID19 (212-268-4319) (New York City only)

Masks? Vaccination Proof? The Latest COVID Restrictions in New York

From the city’s new vaccination requirements to updated mask guidelines, here is what to know about traveling to new york..

On June 15, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the vast majority of the state’s pandemic-era restrictions were a thing of the past. He stated that most businesses in New York, including hotels, restaurants, bars, and stores, would no longer be required by the state to implement social-distancing measures, capacity limits, or health screening protocols—they could continue to do so if they choose.

But not more than a month and a half later, some restrictions are back, notably a new requirement to show proof of vaccination when dining indoors and attending shows that goes into effect on August 16.

Additionally, on August 2, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that amid an ongoing vaccine push, the city will now “strongly recommend that people wear masks in indoor settings, even if you’re vaccinated.”

The new guidance “is based on our review of the latest scientific evidence showing that the Delta variant of the coronavirus can spread even more easily than was previously thought,” according to Dave Chokshi, the New York commissioner for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Mayor de Blasio and New York Governor Cuomo are making a strong push to encourage vaccinations in an effort to combat a potential surge due to the Delta variant.

Are masks required in New York?

In New York State, masks are required on public transit, in schools, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, nursing homes, and healthcare settings—regardless of vaccination status.

In New York City, they are also now required at Broadway shows (along with proof of vaccination), and as of August 2, they are strongly recommended indoors, for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

As per guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unvaccinated individuals should continue to wear a mask in all public settings—outdoors and indoors, Mayor de Blasio stated on August 2.

Is Broadway open?

Bruce Springsteen’s one-man show is the only performance currently running on Broadway. Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s Pass Over is set to open on August 4 at the August Wilson Theatre. Most other theaters will open in September or October after being shuttered since March 2020.

Broadway theatergoers will need to prove they’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19 and masks will be required when theaters reopen.

Are hotels in New York open?

Yes. All hotels and lodgings in New York can welcome guests. Some major hotels that temporarily closed during the pandemic due to a drop in demand have recently reopened. Examples include the Plaza Hotel , which reopened May 20; the Peninsula New York , which reopened June 1; and Ritz-Carlton, New York, Central Park , which reopened June 2. Park Hyatt New York and Mandarin Oriental reopened on April 1. The 873-room Westin New York at Times Square reopened on April 29.

Are there any restrictions on travel to New York?

The quarantine requirements for domestic travelers arriving into New York State that Governor Cuomo put in place last June expired on April 1, 2021 . All New York area airports are open and flights are operating as scheduled.

As of January 26, a nationwide order mandated by the CDC requires international arrivals to provide documentation of negative COVID-19 test results procured within three days of their departure to the United States.

What tourists need to know about visiting New York City during the pandemic

In the early days of the pandemic , New York was the focal point of the outbreak’s wrath. After shutting down for months to flatten the growth curve of the novel coronavirus, the city is opening up again, for residents and visitors alike.

“Things have been really nice [these] past couple months, especially with our numbers dropping,” says Benjamin Liong Setiawan, a lifestyle writer who has lived in New York for over 20 years. “It’s been nice to be able to enjoy the city again.”

However, that doesn’t mean New Yorkers want visitors to expect business as usual. While attractions are reopening and indoor dining is set to return at 25 percent capacity on Sept. 30, much of New York City is still closed or struggling to remain open with coronavirus precautions. Not to mention, its residents are still experiencing an emotional toll.

“I think a lot of people probably did experience PTSD,” Setiawan says. “All that we ask as New Yorkers is that you respect the people that live here and the rules that have been put in place so that we can keep everybody safe.”

Before you plan a trip to New York, familiarize yourself with restrictions by checking the government’s coronavirus website . Chris Heywood, the executive vice president for global communications at NYC & Company , says that people from about 30 states are required to quarantine for 14 days on reaching New York, whether they’re arriving by plane, car or bus. Currently, people over two years old are required to wear a mask in public, including on public transportation.

Here’s what else to know if you’re considering traveling to New York during the pandemic.

What to know about getting tested for the coronavirus to travel

Where you can stay

Whether New York City hotels stayed open throughout the pandemic or are only just beginning to reopen, many are offering packages to bring in more business, Heywood says. They’re also carrying out enhanced cleanings, putting up sneeze guards at front desks and sometimes suspending amenities (such as restaurants and fitness centers).

“It’s definitely ‘safety first'; that’s kind of the ethos of the city right now,” Heywood says.

Setiawan recommends finding a hotel based on what you would like to do on your trip. If your primary focus is visiting museums, find accommodation uptown.

“If you want to be by the water, there’s 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. It’s beautiful and has a pool, and you can explore Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo and Cobble Hill,” he says.

New York City can’t rebound without Broadway. And Broadway’s road back is uncertain.

What you can do

If your ideal New York visit includes going to a Broadway show, dancing at nightclubs or going to a concert, you will want to hold off on a trip. However, the government is allowing more and more businesses to reopen.

To navigate the ever-changing status of businesses, the city’s tourism board is keeping an updated website of what’s open and how to get tickets if needed. “There is a bevy of things to see and do right now,” Heywood says.

To reopen as safely as possible, attractions have tweaked their operations in a number of ways. For example, visiting the High Line trail requires getting a free timed-entry pass ahead of time. The Empire State Building is limiting its visitor capacity by 50 percent and is performing enhanced cleaning. It also advertises that during its recent renovation, the building installed “state-of-the-art air purification” systems. Like the High Line, guests must have reservations and will have their temperatures checked before they are permitted to enter. They must also wear face covering and observe social distancing throughout the experience.

Museums are reopening to a new audience: Locals eager to ‘travel’

As museums, including the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, reopen, “many of them obviously are following all of those social distancing rules and [doing] pre-ticketing and limiting how many people can come in,” Heywood says.

Setiawan is a fan of simply walking around the city and spending time in its parks, like Madison Square Park, Prospect Park and Washington Square Park.

He recommends setting aside hours to explore Central Park and take advantage of the free audio guides available at notable sites. The actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus narrates information about Bow Bridge, for example, and the actress Isabella Rossellini explains the Ramble.

“If you’re uptown, there is Riverside Park, which is really beautiful and along the Hudson River,” Setiawan says. “There’s places to ride your bike. There’s places to picnic. There are some tennis courts up there.”

What you can eat and drink

New York City’s bars and restaurants have been deeply wounded by the pandemic, and the list of permanently closed establishments is still growing. As you visit places to eat and drink, whether you’re staying there or taking your order to go, be mindful of the hospitality industry’s trauma.

“You’re watching someone drown — try and be a little bit more empathetic,” says Sother Teague, the beverage director of the world-renowned bar Amor y Amargo.

Teague’s advice to visitors who want to be respectful bargoers includes tipping well — fewer customers means fewer tips for employees who rely on the gratuities to pay rent. Plus, employees are doing extra work to set up safe sidewalk accommodations. Teague also recommends getting to bars early. The city’s coronavirus restrictions require guests to leave establishments by 11 p.m., so bars need more business earlier in the evening. Finally, consider ordering bottled cocktails to go if they’re available.

“You can get your cocktails to go and walk around the city; you couldn’t do that prior to the pandemic. The open-container laws were different,” Setiawan says. “It’s nice that that’s been relaxed a bit so you can support your favorite bars, try to help people out and also have a great cocktail to go. Who doesn’t want that?”

View this post on Instagram One of the questions I’ve been getting is...what’s the first place you want to go to when it’s safe to dine out again. Y’all already know I’m a big fan of @rezdoranyc. So I was excited to be able to have my first Phase Two experience at @stefano_secchi’s restaurant specializing in Emilia Romagna cuisine. It’s nice to be with friends, have someone make you a cocktail, and break bread together alfresco. I’ll also be back tomorrow b/c I just love it there. Go support your local restaurants and make sure to create moments of joy for yourself. #rezdora #phasetwo #summerinthecity #pastalover #ilovenyc A post shared by Ben Setiawan Travel Food Drink (@hungryeditor) on Jul 3, 2020 at 6:54pm PDT

Setiawan’s favorite places to grab takeout during the pandemic have been Tappo Thin Crust Pizza and restaurants in Manhattan’s Chinatown, “since they were the first restaurants to be affected due to misplaced fear and racism,” he says. He recommends two restaurants: Tasty Hand-pulled Noodles; and Noodle Village, for soup dumplings.

Setiawan also recommends checking out a self-guided food crawl hosted by the coronavirus relief organization Send Chinatown Love. Through September, the crawl highlights 13 restaurants, cafes, bakeries and other businesses, in hopes of bring tourism back to the neighborhood.

For outdoor dining, Setiawan has enjoyed Marea across the street from Central Park for pasta and seafood, and Rezdora. “Whenever I go there, I feel like I’m going to a friend’s house because everybody’s just so lovely,” he says. “The food is great, but also the people are great. So it makes you want to go back and you feel like a local.”

As part of the ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, New York State has implemented specific requirements for travelers entering the state from other states. These requirements are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors.

Beginning on June 25, 2020, individuals entering New York State from another state with a high infection rate are required to quarantine for a period of 14 days. The list of states is continuously updated based on current COVID-19 data, and individuals are encouraged to check the list regularly before making travel plans.

The quarantine applies to both residents of New York State returning from a high-risk state and non-residents traveling to New York State from a high-risk state. High-risk states are determined based on a seven-day rolling average of positive test rates exceeding 10 percent, or a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents.

Travelers subject to the quarantine requirement must fill out a Traveler Health Form upon arrival in New York State. This form collects information, such as contact details and travel history, to assist with contact tracing efforts. Failure to complete the form may result in a fine of $2,000.

It is important to note that the quarantine requirement applies to all forms of travel, including by air, land, and sea. This means that if you are traveling to New York State from a high-risk state, you must quarantine for 14 days, regardless of the mode of transportation.

There are certain exemptions to the quarantine requirement, including for essential workers traveling for work purposes and individuals who are passing through New York State for less than 24 hours. Additionally, there are specific protocols in place for individuals who have recently recovered from COVID-19 or have been fully vaccinated.

Compliance with the quarantine requirement is taken seriously, and local law enforcement agencies conduct checks to ensure individuals are adhering to the guidelines. Failure to comply with the quarantine requirement can result in a mandatory quarantine order and fines of up to $10,000.

It is important to stay informed and up to date on the latest travel advisories and requirements for entering New York State. Travelers should regularly check the New York State Department of Health's website for the most current information. Additionally, it is advisable to check with airlines, bus companies, or other transportation providers for any additional requirements or guidelines specific to their services.

In conclusion, travelers entering New York State from other states are required to quarantine for 14 days if they are coming from a high-risk state. Compliance with this requirement is essential to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of all residents and visitors. Stay informed and follow the guidelines to ensure a safe and responsible travel experience.

Navigating the Dar es Salaam Travel Restrictions: What You Need to Know

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the world, travel restrictions have become a necessary measure to control the spread of the virus. However, with the introduction of vaccines, countries are adjusting their travel policies to accommodate vaccinated individuals. These adjustments aim to strike a balance between ensuring public health and allowing vaccinated individuals to resume their travel plans.

For individuals who are not vaccinated, travel restrictions are generally stricter. They may be required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result before departure or upon arrival. Depending on the destination, they might also be subject to quarantine measures for a certain period. These restrictions are in place to minimize the risk of importing and spreading the virus.

On the other hand, vaccinated individuals enjoy certain benefits when it comes to travel restrictions. Many countries have established "vaccine passports" or "green passes" that allow fully vaccinated individuals to travel more freely. These passports typically provide proof of vaccination and exempt the holder from certain travel restrictions, such as mandatory testing or quarantine.

Countries that have implemented vaccine passports may require specific criteria for recognition. For example, they might recognize only vaccines approved by certain regulatory bodies or require a specific number of doses. It is crucial for vaccinated individuals to familiarize themselves with the requirements of their intended destination to ensure a smooth travel experience.

In addition to vaccine passports, some countries have introduced bilateral agreements or travel corridors for vaccinated individuals. These agreements allow vaccinated travelers to move freely between participating countries without encountering stringent travel restrictions. These corridors prioritize vaccinated individuals who have a reduced risk of spreading the virus.

It is important to note that even vaccinated individuals are not entirely exempt from all travel restrictions. The emergence of new variants of the virus and ongoing research regarding vaccine efficacy may lead to changing policies. Therefore, it is advisable for individuals, regardless of their vaccination status, to check the latest travel advisories and requirements before making any travel plans.

In conclusion, the travel restrictions for vaccinated individuals differ from those who are not vaccinated. Vaccinated individuals may enjoy certain benefits, such as exemptions from testing or quarantine requirements, through vaccine passports or travel corridors. However, it is essential to stay updated with the latest information and adhere to any necessary precautions to ensure safe and responsible travel.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have implemented travel restrictions and regulations to help prevent the spread of the virus. These restrictions often include entry bans or mandatory quarantine periods for non-essential travelers. However, there are exceptions to these restrictions for essential travelers and certain types of travel.

Essential travelers are individuals who need to enter a country for reasons that are considered essential for the functioning of society. These may include health workers, diplomats, individuals involved in the transportation of goods, and people providing emergency services. The specific definition of essential travelers may vary from country to country, so it is important to check the regulations of the destination country before traveling.

In addition to essential travelers, certain types of travel may also be exempt from the travel restrictions. These exceptions may include travel for humanitarian reasons, such as providing assistance during a natural disaster or helping with medical emergencies. Travel for educational purposes, such as attending international conferences or participating in research projects, may also be exempt in some cases.

Furthermore, countries may have specific arrangements with neighboring nations that allow for easier travel between them. For example, some countries within the European Union have implemented a "green lane" system that facilitates travel of essential goods and workers between member states.

It is important to note that even if exceptions apply, travelers may still be subject to certain requirements and restrictions. This may include providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test result, undergoing health screenings upon arrival, or adhering to specific quarantine protocols.

It is always recommended to check the most up-to-date information from official government sources or consult with travel agencies or embassies before planning any travel. The situation and restrictions can change rapidly, so it is crucial to stay informed and comply with the regulations in place to ensure the safety of oneself and others.

Understanding the Latest Travel Restrictions in La Reunion

Real ID deadline is rapidly approaching, what to know about the new flight requirement

The really real deadline to make your state-issued identified card, or driver’s license Real ID compliant will be here before you know it. 

And you won’t be fly domestically after 2025 without it. The government has been trying to make Real IDs a thing for a while, initially passing The Real ID act in 2005 in an attempt to set “minimum security standards” for state-issued identification documents.

The law was set to take effect in 2020 but was pushed back by the Department of Homeland Security over “backlogged transactions” at MVD offices nationwide as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to USA TODAY reporting . 

The May 2025 extension was necessary, DHS says, as state driver’s licensing agencies worked to address the mountains of paperwork, which in turn impacted the MVD’s ability to make any real progress on the Real ID rollout. 

“Following the enforcement deadline, federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration, will be prohibited from accepting driver’s licenses and identification cards that do not meet these federal standards,” DHS said in 2022.

That means every every traveler, 18 or older, must have a compliant form of identification in order to travel.

Here’s what to know. 

When does Real ID go into effect? 

The Real ID “full enforcement date” is Wednesday, May 7, 2025, according to DHS. 

When will a Real ID be required to fly?

You or your loved ones need to have a Real ID compliant document, driver’s license or identification card, by May 7, 2025. 

If you have another form of identification that is TSA-approved, like an up to date passport or a permanent resident card then you probably don’t need a Real ID compliant document.

Here are a couple TSA-approved alternatives, if you’re on the fence about getting a Real ID.

• State issued enhanced driver’s license
•  DHS trusted traveler cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)
• U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents
• Border crossing card
• An acceptable photo ID issued by a federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe
•  HSPD-12 PIV card
• Foreign government-issued passport
•  Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada card
• Transportation worker identification credential
• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card (I-766)
• U.S. Merchant Mariner Credential
•  Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)

How long does it take to get a Real ID?

It will take about two weeks , or 15 business days to get your Real ID or Enhanced Driver’s License from your state's Motor Vehicle Department.

Enhanced driver’s licenses, which are only issued in a couple of states, including Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York and Vermont, are considered acceptable alternatives to REAL ID-compliant cards, DHS says. 

How do I know if I have a Real ID? 

All Real IDs will have a stamp on the right hand corner to show that the identification document meets federal standards set forth by The Real ID Act of 2005. 

The symbol stamped on your Real ID card will vary, depending on which state you obtain your new identification card from. 

What does a Real ID look like? 

Your Real ID will have most, if not all of the information that’s included on your driver’s license. 

The only difference is the seal included in the right-hand corner.

The Morning

When travel plans go awry.

There are ways of keeping ourselves anchored, even when we enter a parallel universe disconnected from time.

By Melissa Kirsch

The weekend trip is, in theory, the perfect break. Two nights someplace else, just a small duffel bag and limited logistics standing between you and a reset. Leave on Friday, come back Sunday, fill the hours in between with enough that’s novel and return refreshed, or at least with a slightly altered perspective. You might take a weekend trip for vacation or work or to see family, but the effect is the same. You’re a little changed on return. You see your regular life a little bit differently.

I took what was meant to be a quick trip last weekend to attend a college graduation, and it was, strictly speaking, quick: I was scarcely away for 48 hours, but extreme weather marooned me for most of those hours in the liminal spaces of transit — airports, grounded planes, traffic jams — where time loses legibility. An old friend used to call these neither-here-nor-there realms the “zero world” for the way they feel unfastened from reality, parallel to daily life but separate. The flight cabin after an announcement of a fourth lightning delay is a world detached from the one you know, a temporary society populated by temporary citizens with perhaps not much in common save one deeply held belief: We need to get out of here.

I was as cranky and impatient as the rest of my fellow travelers at each complication in our journeys, but also fascinated by the communities and customs and Cibo Express markets of the zero world. Each of us was, at any given time, one captain’s announcement away from a temper tantrum, but we were also competitively careful to be polite to one another and to the airline staff, as if determined to demonstrate that those wild videos of short-tempered passengers being duct-taped to their seats did not represent us, the makeshift civilization of this departure lounge.

Graduation, when I finally arrived, was a joyous affair despite the glitches. The speaker, an astronaut, showed a photo of the farm where she grew up, the place she thought of as home for much of her life. Then she showed a photo of the limb of the Earth, the glowing edge of the atmosphere, and described how, when she went to space, home was no longer a town on a map but this planet, a shift in perspective so massive I felt a little queasy contemplating it.

On Hour 3 in the airport bar on Sunday morning, beside two German travelers practicing Spanish, I ordered an omelet and imagined my own home, which felt very far away and lit by its own otherworldly halo. What would I be doing if I were there? Reading, texting, catching up on emails — the same things I was doing here. What was so bad about this? Was it the lack of choice? The lack of fresh air?

It was all those things, and also the feeling of being trapped in a warp between origin and destination. My emotions felt out of proportion to the situation: I hadn’t traveled very far for very long, was in no peril and would still arrive in New York with enough day left to do whatever needed to be done, but I felt on the verge of tears, loosed from my moorings, floating between fixed points, dislocated. I put on my headphones, put on a favorite band whose songs are so familiar they provide a home base no matter where I am. I listened to the same album on repeat for the duration of the flight, in the car on the way home, even at home once I finally made it there.

There’s a story in The Times today about how A.S.M.R., the pleasant, brain-tingling feeling we get when hearing certain sounds or watching certain comforting scenes, has become a feature of all viral internet content, not just specialized videos devoted to inducing the sensation. You can still put on a very specific video of someone whispering into a microphone or crinkling paper, but you’re just as likely to find the stimuli in videos of people cooking or cleaning their pools. This seems like a logical extension. We’re restless beasts in need of soothing. Sometimes we’re dramatically homesick, sometimes it’s just a bad day. Why not imbue the mundane with the choreography of comfort? Why not add pleasure whenever and wherever we can?

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

By Melissa Clark

Strawberry Shortcake

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow, and if your mom has a sweet tooth (and if so, I can relate), Jane Grigson’s strawberry shortcake as adapted by Nancy Harmon Jenkins might be just the thing for a celebratory brunch. Make the biscuit dough and cut out the rounds the day before (just keep them in the fridge until baking time). Then, while they’re in the oven, you can macerate the berries (any kind you like) with sugar and prep the whipped cream. Be sure to save any leftover biscuits. They’re excellent toasted for breakfast the next day.

ADVICE FROM WIRECUTTER

Food processors, blenders and choppers.

Countertop appliances can help you get a meal on the table faster, often with less work and a quicker cleanup. But deciding which gizmo is best for you can be a challenge. It depends on what kinds of foods you most frequently prepare, Wirecutter’s kitchen experts say. For example, if your main goal is to reduce the time you spend prepping ingredients, a food processor is likely your best bet. If you demand the smoothest, silkiest textures from your soups, sauces and smoothies (and have ample storage space), consider a full-size blender. Oh, and those TikTok-famous manual vegetable choppers ? No one needs those. — Rose Lorre
