As one of the states that has been the hardest hit by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it would be easy for residents of the Big Apple to feel discouraged.

But that is not the New Yorker way.

Time and time again, citizens of New York have shown that they are not going to give up that easily.

Photos and videos have surfaced across the Internet of New Yorkers making the most of the statewide quarantine from the comfort of their homes by singing, dancing, applauding healthcare workers, and basically doing whatever they need to do to maintain a positive “New York State of Mind.”

Here are a few of our favorite posts by New Yorkers trying to make the most of an unideal situation.

Today a friend joined us to cheer on medical & other essential workers who are doing the most. 💚#ClapBecauseWeCare #clapbecausewecareNYC pic.twitter.com/LDUjzCAwjp
