Went dinning at a few NYC places this week, they all accepted the Excelsior pass as proof of vaccine, either a printed version of it (as one of my dinning companions used) or a virtual mobile one.
Sorry, I couldn’t quite parse that. Does that mean a phone photo on its own if fine or that you also need the NY app (which I can’t get since I live in NJ)?
Jay, I’m dinning out again tonight. While not PDH, I’ll inquire at that restaurant to try to get you a more concrete answer with how NY restaurants are dealing with out of state guests. I assume just a picture is fine.
Dined at Noz last night and talked to the folks there about proof of vaccination. They do accept just a clear photograph as proof of vaccination, no need for the physical card. There’s also the NYC Covid Safe app that is open to all (NY residents or not). They said most restaurants are accepting the same. Hope that helps.
The Excelsior Pass app is the state’s secure and verified proof of vaccine app, which is only open to NYS residents.
The second, NYC COVID Safe, is a simpler app that been made by the city that just lets you upload a picture of your ID, vaccine card, and/or latest COVID test results. It’s open to everyone.
Unfortunately, if we move it it will have to be in November. I understand if people want to bolt, no worries $375 versus $65+ tax, tip. No worries if people cannot make it. There will be others.
