When I went to NYC me and my half sister found New Yorkers to be very nice.
People confuse rudeness with the New York way of life. It's a fast-paced city, and people don't have time for BS. If someone is short with you, it's not because they don't like you, it's how they communicate there. My favorite saying about New York is: "if you're not going anywhere, you're just in the way". It's totally accurate. The attitude of New Yorkers has a bad reputation because of the way the city (and its people) moves.
