If you're looking to hear a typical accent today, turn on New York sports radio (https://www.radio.com/wfan/listen https://www.radio.com/wfan/listen ) and listen to the segments where random people call in. You might not hear the old-time accent described in this article, but you'll hear a distinctly New York-area accent. The interaction pattern is still the same though. I'm from New Jersey and (under normal, non-COVID circumstances) work in New York, and interrupting in conversation is taken as pretty natural.
