Of course people from out of town do tend to be polite the world over when compared to city dwellers, very true. But for me, a timid reserved Londoner, I find New Yorkers just delighful. In fact I find most Americans polite, friendly and smiling. In a busy city it is hard to find time for others, but the New York chein I have come across is intoxicating. I love it when New Yorkers banter and exchange one liners with each other, there is a quick witted humour unique to NY.
