7-Eleven remains open

Aryan Paul, 22, said he slept overnight at the 7-Eleven at Park Avenue and Broadway in Huntington Station. Only a few customers have come in since the store opened at 4 a.m., and those were people driving trucks, he said.

"I'm dedicated to work," he said.

A couple of men who walked in to buy coffee said they weren't essential workers, but that they had to go to work today. They declined to give their names.
