Are there still NYC popup vaccination sites for tourists? If so, where?

As with all things relating to NYC government, nyc.gov.

There's a COVID-19 vaccination link at the top of the page.

The linked page in turn has a link for a list of sites where you can get vaccinated today.

There is also a link to a page with the current eligibility requirements. There's no mention of a residency requirement, and there's an explicit disclaimer of an immigration status requirement, but there is a requirement to fill out the New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Form. It's not clear to me how you would do that without a US address (or even with an address in a US territory such as Puerto Rico), but I suppose as a last resort you could use the address where you are staying temporarily.

According to the New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Form, which you are required to fill out prior to receiving a vaccination in the state of New York, you must "certify [...] that [you] reside in the United States."

Based on this requirement, it appears that NYC popup vaccination sites are not available to international tourists, nor would you be able to get vaccinated anywhere else in the state of New York at. Note that other states will have different eligibility requirements.
