How long will it be safe to return to Broadway?

I am just hoping some feedback as to what is going on in NYC. I am hoping not to turn this into a political debate. I just see what is on the news, but I don't know what to believe anymore.

Not sure what the streets currently look like, but I just see images of 5th Ave stores being boarded up and etc. As often as I have been to NYC, I am still a tourist. Broadway lives off of tourists, and I am worried that it may be a long time before the tourists return to levels we saw prior to the pandemic.

I have always been optimistic that Broadway would get passed COVID19 sooner than later so things would return to normal. However, given the current climate with the protests, is it safe to be in Broadway/Times Square?. I cannot imagine morale within NYPD is anything but low at the moment. NYPD always had a large presence in the area.

I do have a trip planned to NYC relatively soon, but of course that is yet TBD

Right. Because we're almost done solving racism.

Actually, if you read my post, this has nothing to do with COVID19.
