Yeah but I know damn well if you ran into your favorite celebrity on the street, you would say something!
Errr no, I wouldn't.
And for record have "run into", stood behind on lines, and so forth a long list of famous persons and have said boo.
John Stossel - Riding bike in Central Park
Robert Culp - Whole Foods Union Square
Mary Tyler Moore - Eli's UES
Peter Boyle - Eli's UES
Kristen Johnston - 12th Street in Greenwich Village
Jonny Lee Miller - Washington Square Park area
Paul McCartney - sitting on steps of an Yorkville church with his then GF (now wife) Nancy Shevell
Didn't actually realize it was truly PmC until it registered a bit later. A few weeks later ran into a neighbor who *did* go up to the couple and say a few words.
And so it goes....
Manhattan, especially the UES, UWS and now Chelsea on down to Financial District is lousy with famous persons, I've got better things to do than bother people.

It feels like I'm the only one who stands at alert. New Yorkers just walks right pass them. Is this the normal New Yorker thing to do?
Yesterday I was out in SOHO and I saw Louis CK walking on the street talking on his cellphone. I looked around for peoples reaction and no one said anything. I figured Louis CK would be too scared to walk in day light but he looks good and healthy.
Their personal business? No, but their professional careers/works yes, many are up there in films, television or whatever one enjoys.
Loved Third Rock From the Sun, Everybody Loves Raymond, Trainspotting, and so forth. But am not going to debase myself by going up to someone who is out going about their business (especially if with their children), and bother them with nonsense.
That's only true of celebrities you don't care about. People talk this "real New Yorker" stuff, but I know damn well they would greet their idol if they encountered them.
Speak for your Long Island self. I personally value my privacy and don’t people violating it, so when I see famous people I live and let live. Same thing when you see a Rolls Royce or a Bentley coming down the street. I’ve seen them before; I look and keep it moving.

As my grandmother would say "they sit down to sh**" like everybody else.

Agreed. It’s a New York thing. There’s enough obnoxious people out here as it is. Leave the people in peace and them go about their business. My favorite actor is Robert De Niro. If I saw him, I’d give a glance, maybe say something like oh cool, Robert De Niro, and keep it going. I do my damnest to avoid crowds. Cannot stand them!
If i were to see Adriana Lima or Irina Shayk..i would unzip my pants and shake my lovetoy at them.
