I think we are getting away from the point. Those neighborhoods, for better or worse, are not (Broadway) theatre-going neighborhoods. In the prime theatre-going areas of the city (and beyond), vax rates are up in the 70-80-90% range. Poor people, sadly, are less likely to get vaccinated, and even less likely to see a Broadway show, even for free. And of course the city has its pockets of redness, whether resulting from the orthodox jews or the staten islanders etc.

Perhaps not compared to your rich white Manhattanites, but when I'm coming home from shows I always see people holding Playbills (theatre, Met, Carnegie Hall) going further south than I am.

I don't doubt that for a second, but the fact is, the low vax rate zipcodes are also the low ticket buying zipcodes and I'd be willing to bet half the value of a Broadway sippy cup that those hands you saw clutching playbills now have an abundance of covid antibodies lurking within. I thought your point was that, in the city at least, low vax rate does not only correlate to republican districts and I of course agree with that. It's not really controversial, though, that poor minority communities don't go to the theatre, and neither do super-orthodox jewish ones.
