I've only ever been to NYC (as a kid) once, and it still makes sense to me. Granted, I live in another major city (Chicago). I think the "quirks" you are referring to are probably more just general US/American quirks, more than anything that specific to NYC. Kind of like the humor in the US version of The Office vs the English (UK) version.
