The COVID virus is transmitted by physical contact or spray droplets, not by food.  If the pretzel vendor wears a mask (s)he can't give COVID to you.

Much less than from simply being on a New York City street without wearing a mask.  You get COVID from breathing it or from getting it in your eyes.  The reason that you are more likely to get it when eating is that you can't wear a mask when eating.  However, that's more of a danger indoors than on a street.
