I've always been struck by the difference in most New Yorkers and the stereotype. Having finally moved back to the city, I was walking on Broadway in Harlem yesterday with my husband when I tripped and fell, cutting my chin rather badly. Looked worse than it was, as I was gripping blood all over the sidewalk. At least three people came quickly to attempt to provide help. Several others looked on, obviously willing to help if needed. Later I was moved to tears by the thought of the kindness of these strangers. Is this important, when we look at some of the horrible things that happen, like the two kids who were stabbed? I think even so; no matter how many bad things can and do happen, there are hundreds or thousands of kind people for every wicked person.
I disagree with that, I found that in times of crisis (post 9-11 and post-Sandy) New Yorkers have bonded together, but the general pace of life here is too quick for small talk at the local deli line, coffee shop, etc. I don't take it personally that's just the pace here. There are 8 million people here.

Precisely!
