One of my favorite things about NYC is the built-in etiquette of "pulling over" when you need to putz with your phone.

You could always tell who didn't live there by who stopped flat on the street and blocked traffic.

I live in the Bay Area and do that, but it definitely seems like a lot of people don’t here.

Usually I try to stay parallel to other physical barriers like mailboxes, trees, garbage cans, etc. so there is zero possibility I’m in the way of a normal walking path.
