and if that is all you ever encountered then the only thing you did here was
to be a tourist in all the tourist places or simply have not understood nyc

Our trip to NC this past December was my first actual experience with
southerners. Apart from all the transplanted New Yorkers they were far
and
away the friendliest, kindest, most accommodating people I've ever
encountered.

This may be an area where perceptions are changing. A month or so ago I
spoke to a client from Texas who had just come back from a few days in New
York. He commented on how friendly and helpful he found New Yorkers on
this
trip. This is a guy who has been to the City many times over the years. He
felt that at this point New Yorkers' reputations for rudeness was no
longer
deserved.

Not sure I agree with him, but there you have it FWIW.
