This is about a restriction NY is imposing on New Yorkers. The city and state I'm sure would welcome cooperation with other nearby states in developing a tri state area valid digital vaccine card.

But this isn't about other cities and states so this isn't relevant. States, just like countries, are allowed to impose their own laws so long as they don't encroach on rights and laws from the federal government.

Comity is a legal standard that neighboring states can choose to embrace.

So you're saying that since I live in Connecticut, I'm allowed to eat indoors in NYC without showing proof of vaccination? I realize that this is literally what the article says, but surely that must be a mistake, no?

No, if you want to come to NY and eat at a NY restaurant you're subject to NY laws just like you are when you pay the NY sales tax rate. You don't pay the CT sales tax at a NY restaurant.

Vaccine card or leave.

If CT wants to work with NY to create a comity law understanding or a common vaccine card (IE accept CT digital vaccine cards) the states can work together.

You must show proof of vaccination, but proof of vaccination is not required to be presented via the Excelsior Pass. It would be nice if we had tri-state cooperation there though.
