A month ago, the streets were awash in people and the city was steeped in its most cherished tradition of communal joy: Carnival season was nearing its Mardi Gras climax, with parades rolling, beer flowing and money changing hands at bars and restaurants. Since the coronavirus outbreak, the bars are closed and restaurants struggle with take-out- or delivery-only operations — the ones that stay open. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
