Queens: Open for Business
As New York continues to recover from Hurricane Sandy, most Queens businesses have resumed near normal hours.
It was a rough start to the week for Queens business owners.
Even now that Sandy's wind, rain and flooding have receded there remain sizable obstacles.
Transit troubles, power outages, closed schools and gas shortages have all conspired to keep stores shuttered or confine customers to their homes or immediate neighborhoods.
