So I've been wanting to visit NYC, especially with a few visiting pornstars coming through, but I live in the DMV which means that I need to have a negative PRC test taken 3 days prior to departure. And then I need to quarantine for 3 days and on the 4th I need take another test. It's just a hassle

I can't imagine putting that much effort into visiting a city that has essentially locked down everything to do that is fun. Fucking pornstars aside of course. lol

Yeah, it's insane. I've already missed out on a few that were on my bucket list. It seriously is a pain in the ass. My usual itinerary for these kinds of trips is seeing the pornstar, seeing a local, and then going to a GFE AMP the morning I leave.  

Of course in other places like Hawaii it's absolutely mandatory.  

Or if it's based off of the honor system. Like for NYC, it's 3 days, but I would only be there for 2... 3 at the most.

my Kgirlfriend asking whether the date we planned for Saturday was still on, because she just heard there was another lockdown going into effect.  I just told her we are still on because I'm an "essential services" provider.  

Of course your fan club will probably insist that all your other posts sucked, but then again they won't agree with this one either.  

it was sooooo easy.

The problem is where do you stay? Unless you have a friend or stay across the river, you won't be able to book a hotel or Airbnb. I fear the lockdown will continue for several months in some form or fashion after super spreader events like Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

CDL just bought a cheap round trip to ATL so that he could attend the upcoming Trump rallies.  He's defiant about wearing a mask (being thrown out of a WalMart on Black Friday) and he wants an injection of Trump energy in person from a super spreader.

I had no issues booking hotel stays. Was just at Mark Hotel recently... they offered no Turn down service but they were happy to hold my things which was rare (other hotels 4 stars wouldn’t keep anything, no bell hops).

where to stay for this reason I cancelled my PA visit for this month. It would have been great to visit NYC/NJ as well but not in the current climate.

I have visitors coming from NJ and CT - none gets stopped or even asked questions.
People have many reasons to come to the city....and is hard to stop and check everybody.
I think is just to discourage people from coming here.

Bingo!

...submissive sheep meekly obey LOL!

I agree after doing a lil more research myself. I have a few friends that moved out but still go in & out thru the tunnels wkly keeping me posted. It's basically hit or miss being stopped, changes daily. There's absolutely no way to stop all traffic unless you completely shut the city down. I'm trying first time next wk myself🤞I miss it

Use the bridges, not the tunnels..  The bridges are used for interstate trucking, it is very difficult to stop traffic there.  
Trucks are less likely to use the tunnels and get dumped into the Manhattan streets, plus the larger ones don't fit in the  
tunnel.  Thus they only check at the tunnels.

Great tip Bob.  I'm going there is a few weeks.
