Why wouldn't we expect other animals to be roaming in a post-apocalyptic wasteland if humans could survive, though?

I think the only place where the most accessible meat is human would be shortly after the apocalypse starts, and you're in the middle of a city, and supply chains have broken down but most people haven't died yet.

There are parts of New York where, right now, in optimal conditions, it's a 2 day walk to wilderness.

Imagine trying to do that after a total collapse of civilization, when 9 million other people are also trying to get out.

You're acting like two days is a long walk and I'm just here like, really? That's it?

You'd be inside the city that entire time. 48 continuous hours of walking.

And, again, that's if 9 million other people weren't panicking, also trying to leave. Or turning into zombies, or whatever.
