As someone who briefly lived in NYC if anyone for any reason at all tries to stop you for conversation, Do. Not. Engage. Headphones in, never make eye contact, and never stop moving. Anyone who doesn’t behave that way is a tourist, a cop, crazy, or a mark. None of which you want to be. So this is already self-selecting for people you don’t want to interact with
