I think it is pleasurable to make small talk and chit chat with people I meet when I go out in public. I love to talk to grocery clerks, people in line, people sitting at benches in parks, etc. I don't expect to make friends with any of them, but just enjoy being friendly.
What City has the highest percent of people who would enjoy having brief and friendly conversations with normal looking and acting strangers?
In my experience New Orleans, San Diego, and NYC were the easiest to strike up a conversation with a stranger. In SD it was usually in line at the store. NOLA and NYC in a bar. Also at the Yankees game we went to it was easy to talk to the people around us, we actually met up with them a night or two later in Manhattan.

San Francisco. However a lot of the people one may encounter there you may not be inclined to chit chat with. Nonetheless I noticed people of all kinds aproach you on the streets there without hesitation.
Atlanta was pretty easy, didn't really have to break the ice there to strike up a conversation. Also I'd say San Antonio and El Paso are very friendly, I've gotten great customer service, nice small talk, and lots of smiles in both of those cities.
Pittsburgh is a city where you will see a Soccer Mom carrying a conversation with a Transvestite while both wait on the Bus and the conversation will be about this humidity is doing to their hair.

Yeah and 9 out of 10 times they are homeless people.
Philadelphia, Pa. They be just budding in in your conversation. Happens everyday when I'm talking to friends. They be like: did you know it's gonna be rainy today? They're always random.
