Long Island restaurants might be down, but they’re still cooking -- and sending food to hardworking hospital staff. This episode follows two eateries, Hewlett Station Yogurt and Tony D’s Pizzeria, who were among those donating to Mount Sinai South Nassau. “People just started showing up at our hospital with trays of food, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, you name it, in large quantities,” says Joe Calderone of Mount Sinai. “It really has lifted the spirits of the health care workers who are on the front lines.” This is the sixth episode of “Life Under Coronavirus” about the region’s helpers during the current health crisis.
