When we visited NYC a few years ago, I thought NYC was one of the friendliest places in the USA I'd ever been. And I've been to the midwest, san francisco, the pacific NW, the southwest, and the DC area.
We took the subway and the bus, walked here and there, looked lost every now and then... people offered to help periodically, happily chatted on the subway... it was extremely impressive and we definitely would be up for living there sometime just based on how nice people were. There was a no-bs attitude which was refreshing, but they were also kind to the derpy tourists we were, in ways I'd never expect in Seattle.
- sxp62000 8y agoThe funny thing is when I'm on vacation, I find it much easier to strike up a conversation with strangers! Also, now that I think about it, when I'm walking around NYC with a camera around my neck (i like street photography), people approach me more often. I guess a derpy tourist is less intimidating hahah.
