The reason I specified NYC is that it (along with other large cities) contains a number of small businesses that don't take credit cards. Your suggestions sounds good in practice, but there are a number of services I would lose or have to travel significantly farther for were I to refuse to carry cash. Cash is also the easiest way to split checks (most restaurants won't split checks more than N ways, for some N <= 3) and I frequently eat out in large groups.
