Yes, it’s awful. But here are ten escapes from stress, sadness, and fear.

1. Go to Sylvia’s Soul Food (328 Lenox Avenue) restaurant in Harlem for the biscuits-and-scrambled-eggs breakfast on a weekday.

3. If one Elvis — peanut butter, bacon, and banana sandwich — at Peanut Butter and Co. (240 Sullivan Street) is not enough . . . have two.

5. Lose yourself in macaroni and cheese at Shelly’s New York (104 West 57th Street) or Commune (12 East 22nd Street).

7. Hop on the back of a friend’s motorcycle and go to Pearson’s in Queens (71-04 35th Avenue) for Texas BBQ.

9. Make whatever it was that your mother made for you when you were sick and stayed home from school. Eat it on a tray, in bed.
