I know nothing about New York. Other than my one change of planes in JFK Airport in 1976, I have never stepped foot in the state. NYC just doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
You reminded me of something that made me smile.
Good to know about the museums. I know they still had a mandate even when the city dropped theirs a few weeks ago. We tend to go to places at opening. We were there in summer but the museums were closed, so we were going to do Natural History, see the National tree, Air and Space (the VA location), and get a timed entry to National Archives. I know a lot of places have winterized patios, we ate at Jaleo last time and ate outside at the District Wharf which may not be possible depending on the weather.
. Public places seem to be an experiment where-ever I find myself, with the exception of a recent ceremony in a large stadium. Wondering how long this will go on, feel like I'm watching a game of chicken with a microbe.
I am in British Columbia Canada and they just announced over the weekend the the touring production of Anastasia to Vancouver is prosponed.I was so close as I had tickets for next month. All venues with more than 1000 are now to operate at 50% So most entertainment and sports events are being cancelled or posponed. All New Years Eve events all cancelled.
More restriction are been announced this afternoon. So we are expecting more closures.
You’re here is Vegas aren’t you? We saw it at the Regal in Summerlin on opening day and the place was empty. I was quite surprised, thought for sure it would be packed.
Just announced for BC:
New provincial health orders will come into effect Wednesday at midnight to try to slow the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus and prevent B.C.’s health-care system being overwhelmed.
Bars, nightclubs, gyms, fitness centres and dance studios will be closed until Jan. 18. All organized indoor gatherings, such as weddings and Christmas parties, must be cancelled. Sports tournaments will also be cancelled.
Restaurants, pubs and cafes are still able to operate with a maximum of six people per table and space between the tables.
Concert, theatre, movie and sports venues will be limited to 50 per cent capacity, regardless of size, with masking and vaccination-checking.
Personal gatherings are limited to your household plus one other household or 10 guests, all vaccinated.

We have tickets for Friday and on the theatre website it says:
For ticketholders who cannot see their showtimes on Cineplex.com, We have removed our showtimes from Cineplex.com as we wait to review and understand the new government mandates being announced. Thanks for your patience and we’ll see you at the movies!
Of course, our showtime is not listed.
Oldest saw it on opening day and it was dead according to them & friends. Saturday & Sunday it was swamped. So we pushed it off to tomorrow thinking it's Wednesday, it shouldn't be so bad. When we purchased the tickets on Sunday it was empty. Checked this morning and now it's full. So we cancelled. We're all vaxxed, yet we still don't want to be on top of others during virus open season. Youngest had a nasty cold at the beginning of the month that kept them out of school for 3 days. We just don't want to chance it.
It sounds like just them trying to say "well we told you what the CDC said which is staying 6 feet apart from others is advisable" knowing that unless a significant amount of people opt not to go that won't be physically possible. I don't think I would feel very comfortable even masked up more just because of singing and talking and inability to get away realistically from people at least knowing if you can get away from people in advance like you would if there was a capacity limit. When I'm in crowds these days I can move away from people or quickly pass people (other than an airplane I should say). I understand them not wanting to cancel the service entirely though.
If I had known after the first person tested positive, I could have tried to convince him to avoid the club, until after the holidays. That way he would have had time to quarantine & test without messing up our entire Christmas holiday. If he insisted on returning, we would have avoided him, so we could have kept our plans as they were.
