Which part do you live in? This was the norm in the neighborhood I grew up in (north of UWS), as well as everywhere I've lived (Harlem, north Brooklyn).
I wouldn't expect it to be the norm in areas where the foot traffic might pay credit cards by default; I think it's mostly in areas where cash business comes first anyways.
Edit: I wish people wouldn't downvote you. It's a massive city, and it's entirely possible to never experience this!
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoI live in Manhattan. My apartment is in Harlem, but I don't spend much time there, I'm usually further downtown.
- woodruffw 4y agoThat tracks with my experience: I've never received a tax discount for paying in cash downtown. I think some of that has to do with who owns the real estate: ownership tends to be corporate and structured downtown, so businesses' finances tend to be correspondingly more accountable and "by the books."
