I have been to many parts of the World, and i can say without hesitation that the people of NYC are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. They have a no B.S. vibe about them, but nevertheless, very friendly
True story : On my first morning in New York, I went to a Manhattan Deli and was standing in line looking up at the menu.......
I made eye contact with one of the guys working behind the counter, and he says in that NY accent... "Howya doing ?"
I automatically say "Umm hi..I'll be ready to order in a moment....right now I'm still deciding....."
The guy goes....."No problem, I was just saying hi, this guy (motions to another dude) will take your order "........
Something like this would NEVER happen in LA
