Yes. Being a New Yorker myself, the limits are: no assisted knives of any king (e.g., switchblades, gravity knives, ballistic knives, etc.) and when you're in NYC, the blade must be less than 4".

For the complete set of laws, check out:

My research incicates that a folder of that size is fine in NYC. Good choice, by the way!

Yes, it's been my every day carry knife for over a year, I've even taken it into the Court House, and through other Security checks, never had a problem.
