No shot, no service: Some NYC businesses now checking if customers are vaccinated

New York — The Stop Inn isn't hiding that it plans to comply with New York City's new edict on the coronavirus — that all patrons dining indoors at restaurants, browsing art at museums or sweating it out at gyms must prove they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Signs on the front door and windows of the Queens diner went up Monday ahead of Tuesday's compliance with the city's latest effort to fight the particularly the troublesome and more contagious COVID-19 Delta variant that has fueled a surge in infections and hospitalizations. Norbu Lama, 17, said he was surprised when a server politely asked for his vaccination card soon after he slid into a booth with his parents and younger sister.
