New Yorkers share images of what their lives are like in the city right now

We’re continuing our weekly series today highlighting images from across NYC that depict a city under lockdown. From empty streets and and striking signage to the new normal of wearing face masks, you’ve sent in some fascinating looks at the New York you’re personally experiencing during this age of social-distancing. Check out some our favorites from the last seven days below and send us your shots of the city on pause by using the hashtag #YourLockdownLife.
