anyone can use the covid safe app. It's easy because you can swipe between the vax record card and your ID and, if you need it, a negative covid test result. The excelsior pass only works for NYers because it electronically checks the vax info against Dept of Health records.

The swiping is exactly why I loved using the NYC Covid Safe App. Coming from out of town, I didn't love the idea of constantly grabbing my ID and risking dropping it/losing it (I definitely dropped it at the very first place that asked for it, hastily shoved it back into my purse in not-its-normal-spot, and then panicked at the next place I went when I couldn't find it) and running into issues traveling home. I loved having them both in the app and ready to go in one spot.

what places were these? I have never been asked for anything else, at a theatre, a restaurant, or a gym, and my experience is not a few places over a weekend.

The Tenement Museum and the Museum of Natural History are asking for both ID and proof of vax, at least from my experience.

Yeah, I don't want that many apps on my phone, so I have my vax card in a cute clear card holder that fits perfectly. Pretty much everywhere I go they check both my ID and my card. With the exception of Caroline or Change, which checked neither.

Are you saying they would not accept the NYC Covid Safe app? Because the Natural History website expressly says they do.

I was just answering your question about places asking to see covid vax proof plus ID.

I think Hogan was asking that specific poster what places would not accept the NYC Covid Safe app.
I hope it's not anywhere I want to go because I will not be walking around with my physical card.

yes i was. I am still unclear on what Lizzie is saying but it's not important to me personally. If some place doesn't like what I have I just won't go there. Or I'll go get what I need, if i really want to

The app is perfect. Used it not just for the shows but for dining as well. So easy to just swip between ID and card. Highly recommend.
