It's not illegal to drink beer in public places (like the subways, parks, streets) and it's also legal to smoke tobacco in many places.

Weed is not legal, but it's tolerated and discriminated.

Only they are not legal in NYC given the scenario described. NYC has open container laws (no open alchoholic containers in public), public smoking laws (particularly in public Parks) and weed is illegal under Federal law in th US.
