I have visited the city many times and shot a lot of street scenes. There are more tourists on the streets than workers and so many have cameras there is seldom a problem taking street scenes as long as you don't look like you are targeting someone. In 25 years of going to the city I had one bad experience. As I was walking from the photo show at the Javits Center to the Port Authority some guys were unloading a box truck of beer. They were using one of the elevators that open on the sidewalk and carry product to the basement. I thought it was an interesting shot but one of the guys yelled at me and began walking quickly toward me. The Port Authority with it's police office was just around the corner and when I ducked into the bus terminal the guy went back to his unloading. All I can figure is that he was unloading contraband beer (beer that had been purchased out of state to avoid NYC taxes) and didn't want evidence of that.

You just prove my point, you were luck. All it takes is one New Yorker who does not want his picture taking.
