yeah I got an attitude and what of it? I'm proud of my NYC attitude Wouldn't change it for the world . Plus I work in customer service so i have to turn it off an on. It's on a customer to customer basis. However, it's that NYC attitude that will keep yo ass from getting mugged at night; it will keep your butt out of central park at night yo know. It's not an attitude baby its part survival. You better it, you better know you better use.

Ok, I can go along with that response, you better believe it!!! I understand survival, but since you refer to your ability to turn it on & off at will, than turn the freakin' thing OFF when you get to the UPSTATE baby, Got it? So thats "what of it"!! LOL (not really mad at you, just having a bit of fun with ya) But really, thats a good point, we should be able to turn it on & off and have the smarts to know when & where to use it.
Have a great day, neighbor.

I live upstate, but go down to "The City" for extended weekends a couple of times a year...we have a fantastic time with friends. Personally, I noticed a huge change after 9/11...it seemed that New Yorker's just came together after that and realized that it was good to need or want other's help and company.

There's no place like NY for a baseball game. The crowds are the WORLD's most knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the game. And if you watched either the Mets (Let's Go Mets!) or Yankees (boo!) games right after 9/11 and did not have chills running down your back with the emotion that people en masse can have...then you just ain't alive.

From this upstater...who happens to love upstate NY...NYC is THE BEST city in the World!

I tried to explain to my wife the key to surviving behind the wheel in N.Y.C. was to become an "offensive driver". She was born and raised in S.E. Georgia, so you know who does all the driving when we come visit.

The difference between the north and south is that the key to survive up north is to "turn on the attitude", but the key to surviving in the south is "not to run your mouth".....guess that's why southerners arent as vocal

This cant be a real post. This guy is stirring the pot. Joey buttheadfucco are you kidding me? stay where ever you are and watch the tree on tv. And yea I am Irish and Italian and proud to be both. And to the brooklyn guy I didnt see where you filled us in on your other half just your Italian half lets see what about the famous everyone is inferior to us attidude by the jewish population. And yea we have attitude when people write crap like this we usually will not sit and take it , if thats attitude so be it ,better then cowering in the corner and letting people walk all over you. The other attitude is we get things done now and expect others to also not sit around and wait till they are ready, that is one of the big problems with the southerners they have the old lets put off today what I can do next week after the catfishbite is over. But if you treat us nice you could not ask for a better friend that would stand by you. So loose your attitude your bringing it with you.

afting living in the state of ny for 18 years, im ready to get out of here! i love nyc, but unfortunatly i dont get to visit there too much. i live in beacon,ny about 65 miles north of nyc. and we get alot of people moving up from brooklyn and the bronx around here. i'd say the hudson valley region is probably far enough away from the so called "nyc attitude" but close enough to be called the suburbs (by some people, most people call the hv upstate, but its not at all upstate, lol) beacon itself is very diverse in it's culture, and backgrounds. there are all type of people living up here, and most of them are nice and welcoming.
however, i know everyone has this perception that whereever they move is going to be peaceful, and relaxing, and all the people they meet are going to be wonderful. but lets get real for a minute. no matter where you go, no matter what you do, your always gunna come across people who rub you the wrong way. i personally do not like new york but thats just me. i'd rather live in new england. or in virginia. i guess people are always trying to get away from something, but i think your gunna find no matter where you go to be the same. its like they say, you cant stay on vacation forever. i guess you just gotta settle down somewhere you feel comfortable, and if its not right, find a new place.
