Not New York City. It's New York State.

Its legal in Canada for women to be topless every where a man can,

I've been to Austin, and while it's not really made a big deal out of, a local informed me that technically Austin has dis-allowed topless females. :(

Asheville, NC-----------Wife has been topless here

Plus many Florida legal Federal beaches.

It's best to be where there are no cops or kids. Also best inside a bar or other adult type shop. Also best to ask.
Other than this, flashing is always a gamble yet fun.

However we've been told by many policemen that anytime it draws a crowd you will be arrested. We did see this happen in New Orleans and my wife always flashed, covered, and walked on.
No matter what the laws, it seems it changes daily or whenever a cop decides he'd rather stare at tits while writting a ticket.

Idiots will probably think that it will cause men to r**e or some daft shit like that. A lot of religious people (who can be the biggest hypocrites going when it comes to issues of sex), feminazis, and Conservatives try to say that porn leads to sexual assaults &r***e which is complete nonsense.

I'm actually surprised that it's legal for women to go topless in a lot of cities/States across America, especially with the amount of religious people and Conservatives that go about.

Thank fuck for freedom of choice :D

New Hampshire
 

All of New Hampshire is legal, except for a couple of small towns who have local [and basically illegal] ordinances.

Mrs. HedoRocks on the beach at Hampton:

Columbus, OH
 

Did the WNBR in Columbus this past year. While it may be legal, there arent a bunch of topless babes roaming the street even though they can.

Before the ride we were cautioned that breasts were legal to be bared the naughty bits between you legs are still illegal for showing, but it didnt matter. The ride was ablast.

I believe that in most places where toplessness (or in some cases, nudity) is or was legal, it didn't happen because the public decided they liked public nudity. Instead, it was sort of an historical oversight. It probably just never occurred to the powers that be to pass a law against it, because it was unthinkable, or they assumed that. OF COURSE, it must already be illegal. In a sense they might have been right, since disorderly conduct laws are often seen as covering it.

NYC is a major exception, of course, and Toronto. Barcelona too. I think SF was an oversight that a lot of people then discovered and embraced. (Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.)

I think it's not especially important whether or not public nudity is technically legal... the reason masses of people aren't walking around naked in major cities isn't because there's a law against it. The social prohibition against public nudity has always been much more important than the legality of it. It's a fringe behavior that is still considered to be a bit nuts by the general public, whatever the laws may be.
