It’s back to business for Bar Dough in Hell’s Kitchen, where 50% of its employees are now back to work after COVID-19 restrictions forced the restaurant to shut down in January for two months. “It’s tumultuous,” bar manager Alexander D. said. “It was a bummer, obviously. It was a let down.” Alexander isn’t the only person who entered the workforce last month, as businesses eased restrictions, more people got vaccinated, and stimulus money fueled the economy.
