[title]The Time In Awards are here!
As cities around the world start to emerge from lockdown, we’re taking a moment to look back and thank the New Yorkers who have made our homebound lives bearable over the last two-plus months—from chefs and bartenders to street artists, drag queens and even a few Rockettes.
Our editors have compiled a list of worthy nominees in the following categories: Food and Drink Heroes, Community Champions, Arts and Entertainment Saviors and Homebound Stars. And now we need your help to determine the winners.
Join us in celebrating the New Yorkers who have helped us feel more connected than ever before—even when we’re stuck at home. Raise a glass to these awe-inspiring nominees!
