With summer approaching, many in the business are optimistic that masses are finally coming back to the Big Apple.

CBS2's Ali Bauman has more on what this means for business.

"As of the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, we saw a higher-level surge where we saw most of our visitation really come back to levels that we haven't seen since prior to the pandemic," said Rafael Abreu, VP of sales and marketing for Statue City Cruises. And in the same time, he says Broadway ticket sales hit the highest since theaters reopened last summer.

But while nightlife and tourism are coming back, the city comptroller says office occupancy is still well below pre-pandemic levels, with office vacancies plateauing at higher rates.
