Just a guess but with no international tourists that money exchange place next door might be in trouble too.

Hilton will be closing its Times Square location in Manhattan in October due to fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel said in a state filing earlier this week.
The filing with the New York State Department of Labor said the corporation's 42nd Street location would begin closing at the start of next month.
"Furloughs, which began on 3/16/2020, will become permanent effective 10/1/2020 through 10/14/2020 due to the permanent closing of the hotel," the corporation said. "A total of 200 employees will be impacted."
The company cited "unforeseeable business circumstances prompted by COVID-19."
The coronavirus pandemic has sharply affected tourism worldwide, with consumers largely staying home for much of this year either out of concern for COVID-19 or due to government mandates forbidding leisure travel.
Nearly two-thirds of New York City restaurants, meanwhile, could face closure due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, according to a survey by the New York State Restaurant Association.

Probably afraid to say BLM and the riots..also a factor??
No international tourists.
Domestic tourists are afraid to go to Times Square
I bet the Biden rallies didn’t help.
Seems like it is part of a bigger plan.
Agree. That’s what I think is the real reason.
Will Hilton now follow the lead of other NYC hotels and open up their rooms to homeless losers?
They’re afraid if they leave it open, Deblasio will fill it up with homeless people.

Smart to not encourage riots at their other locations.
This is just the beginning folks, it will get Much Much Worse very soon
What will be worse, the virus, or the government-induced panic?
They have been completely shut down for months.
They started to re-open and rent rooms just within the last week.
I was actually starting to think the whole chain was going under.
Thanks to DeBozo.
As a general rule, you should assume Government is Behind all that is bad
No paying customers.
Forced to house the homeless.
Obviously a permanent change as long as the democrats control NYC.
Hmmmm.
Let’s close the hotel.
I am in NYC a few times a month for business. THE ONLY BUSINESS I SEE IS GOVERNMENT REDISTRIBUTION. All other business is shut down.
NYC residents: if you have any wealth, cash in and move away.
The left has done to NYC that Bin Laden could only dream of. He would trade the 9/11 attacks for this in a heartbeat. All of our enemies are taking notes.
Remember when Trump was first elected and we were told that the cabal was gunning to TOTALLY DESTROY him, his family, and his businesses...NEVER EVER DREAMT the rats would actually do it!! Trump will never regain the fortune he has lost being president! I’m shocked his hotels haven’t been ransacked looted and burned to the ground yet! Well for now .... this will happen with time as the BLM terrorists get more traction and emboldened by the mediasnakes, the cabal, china and the globalist.. this will happen in the very near future! Bank on it!
