That is very true. That fast paced sort quick wit NY attitude is often mistaken for rude or mean, when its just the way people are, but doesn't mean they aren't polite or courteous.
And if you have a nice face in NY everybody helps you LOL.

Not sure if this is true. One difference I have noticed between people in NYC vs my home city LA is that NYers are a bit less judgmental and they tend to give things the ways as they are. They have some kind of “I have seen it all/nothing surprises me” attitude. The variety of people you see in NYC are just beyond astonishing. Even within just one block of the street, you can bump into a random banker working on Wall Street, a fashion model working for a top fashion agency in the city, an immigrant from anther country who never bothers to learn English during his lifetime or a street musician who will have a random performance at the Times Square 42nd St MTA station. There are just so much variety packed into such a compacted city and as a result NYers have developed this “Yes, we can live together” mentality. Whereas in LA, people tend to silently judge more.
With regard to getting help from the strangers, I think here is the difference: In NYC, people take their time way more seriously, they would help you and then quickly move on to do their things. Whereas in LA, people tend to help you but at the same time have some pleasantry exchanges with you. I’m not sure if this difference contributes to people thinking NYers as rude when they are really not, they are just always in a hurry.

Idk hard to say. Florida has a lot of transplants which definitely has ruffled local feathers. PA has Philadelphia which is notorious for having a somewhat "tough guy" reputation.
I'm sure both states have friendly and unfriendly people and areas. Hard to compare a subjective criteria such as friendliness, unless its blatantly obvious. Probably depends on where you are in both states. Philadelphia versus the Panhandle - obviously the Panhandle is more friendly/more likely to chit-chat to strangers. Miami versus central/western PA, most likely central/western PA. Though I think Florida still gets some of the Southern hospitality that does not have an analog per se in PA.
So, Idk, I'd probably lean towards Florida given it is the south. Idk though.
Some friendly people in both Florida and Pennsylvania are more friendly than unfriendly people in both places. Likewise, rude and unfriendly people in both places are less friendly than friendly people in both places.
Likewise, one also speculates that unfriendly people in Fl. and Pa. get less friendly when they visit each other's domain. And if that is true, one might also speculate that friendly people from both places get less friendly when they switch locations.
It's unclear whether this applies to travel to other locations - or to other unspecified people travel between unspecified places.
Finally, one wonders if their is a minimum time or time constraint on how long a person must spend in Florida or Pennsylvania (or anywhere else) to be considered a Floridian, Pennsylvanian, or other -- and to take-on the stereotypical traits suggested in this thread.

What percentage of people in Florida are actually from Florida (born and raised) ?
I would bet it is fairly low.
