Following up were Miami in second place, Washington, DC, and three-time champ and road-rage capital Los Angeles.
At least we broke LA's three time winning streak! Nyah nyah to LA!
I guess compared to the rest of the country we are, but if we aren't being compared to other cities NYer's are not really rude just very direct most of the time.
NYers, in my experience, are unfriendly, but helpful when help is needed.
This is the most important thing, right? Or maybe or exterior expressions read "Stay the f--- out of my way, I don't have anything for you" It's kind of funny when you think about it though. . . Lol.
I just think people are extremely sensitive. ::shrugs::
It turns out that the rudest people in NY are down to earth and really cool. They tend to be sarcastic due to dealing with way, way too many people. People might think that they're rude when they are being sarcastic. Forinstance, "Ask the person how to get to Philly by transportation?" The respond would be, "hitch hike or walk." They just are being sarcastic because of dealing with all those people asking them the same thing over and over again. Otherwise, they're nice people that you could count on as friends for life once you get to know them.

Then evidently, Travel and Leisure doesn't benefit from any of the money generated by more than 35 million people who visit NYC annually. Or, to put it in other words, who cares what they think?
