If toplessness is allowed in the city, then the city is more liberal than the state, not the other way around as in Oregon. But I'm still learning about all this, so I'm just thinking out loud.

The New York State "Exposure of Person" law was found to be unconstitutionally discriminatory as regards toplessness some 15 years ago, so it is now legal for a woman to be topless anywhere a man can be topless. anywhere in the State. And that includes in public.
