Got a cheap flight for a weekend trip in early December. Is it even worth going right now or are the Covid restrictions killing that place still?

Aren't your partying days pretty far in your past these days?

Just go to Branson with the rest of the old folks.

Broadway is shut down so if you had any interest in that, not happening.
It might be neat to check out the city though even with limited things to do, less crowds, still a lot of things to sightsee and do.
I would probably walk most of what you can though, avoid subways, cabs, ubers, etc.

I would not go anytime in 2020 or early 2021. I have several friends that live there and they are taking it very seriously with the mask requirement and closures. I suppose it depends what you want to do when there but it would not make a hotel/ubers/other costs of travel worth a weekend for me.

I don't know why everyone says this. I'd go. Given I've already had Covid.

Especially during the winter, there's not a lot of "normal" activities available. There's plenty to do in NYC even given the current circumstances.

As long as you don't have to quarantine upon your arrival, just being able to walk around, eat some good food, etc. would be enough for me to do for a long weekend.

I live in Manhattan. If you want to make a quick weekend trip for some museums and restaurants, this is a fine time to do it. Both restaurants and museums are open with reduced capacity and reservations are readily available.

The weather is nice, so you can bike around. The subways are cleaned nightly and are at most half full (depending on the time and line), so it’s a relatively safe means for travel.

You can also rent a car one day and go up to Hudson Valley to check out the trees and drink wine/beer/cider.

Avoid Times Square and midtown.

Isn’t there a 14 day quarantine in place from people coming in from a ton of states?

In theory, yes. They do nothing to enforce it. I’ve flown in 3x since August. They ask you to fill out a form but do nothing to verify it. Just put down a fake name, fake hotel, and fake contact info.
