I won't mask in those places, not because I'm anti-mask, but because I've done everything I can do to protect myself, and I'll be in venues and a community (NYC on the whole) that saw first-hand the implications of overwhelming pandemic conditions and has in response been as diligent as possible in choosing to take individual precaution to help produce community safety. On the other hand, there are other places in my hometown and will be travel-related locations for me in the coming days where I'm asked to mask, and I'll do so without any fuss.
For me, it's just time. There won't be a single "lightbulb moment" for us all, so I'm making my personal choice now that I'm comfortable.
Mostly, but not exactly. I had dinner in Staten Island last night and while they checked for my vaccine card per NYC rules, there wasn't a mask in sight in the restaurant. The Manhattan vibe where all waitstaff wear masks is very different. I assume when you mentioned NYC you meant Manhattan so perhaps I'm picking nits.
