Even in Massachusetts which (theoretically) requires restaurants to accept cash, parking garages are often cash only and, of course, highway tolls require a ton of hoops if you're not just auto-billing by card. Funnily enough, I was on a Whale Watch the other day in MA which was cash only. Didn't buy anything but it was presumably because they were out of cell coverage.
