Big Softie
Turns out big bad New Yorkers aren't as terrible as they think they are! According to a survey done by Reader's Digest, New York is one of the most polite cities, beating out London, Moscow and Toronto. Courteousness is not always the first trait associated with Manhattanites, as they are portrayed as gruff, wise-cracking tough guys and the first to give the one-finger salute, whereas the Londoners are more likely to be perceived as urbane polite and well-mannered. Granted, New Yorkers can have their moments, and could easily tell you off for any minor infraction of the unofficial New York City Code of Conduct, but for the most part, they are excellent ambassadors for the city that never sleeps.
