And of course the big autograph-hounds work in NY (and LA.) That's where the celebs are. But the vast majority of native New Yorkers leave celebs alone. It's the culture here. Not because seeing one is a "big yawn." (It's not.) It's out of respect for the celeb.

Yes, the person with him was almost blocking the view and we recognized his from too far away to read the shirt.
I appreciate what you mean. You see people all the time, you leave them alone. It can be the same down here in D.C. You go out to eat at a decent restaurant and inevitably there is a Senator, Congressman, Cabinet head, S.C. Justice eating there. In that setting I leave them alone. In the settings where it is more expected, events at National Press Club and the such, I ask and have no qualms doing so.
