Re: What's with New Yorkers?
New Yorkers? What's different about New Yorkers?
They love to talk, and you just have to talk to them. They may seem unpleasant and distant, but instead they are distracted and going about there daily life. In the appropriate situations you talk to them and they are extremely helpful. Ask them how to get someplace. You'll learn more that you expected.
I spent a week at meetings in Manhattan and decided on the first Sunday morning to visit the local breakfast joint down the block rather than staying in the hotel. By Tuesday I was treated as a "regular" and getting questions about my family, and hearing about theirs. Getting good advice on where to go for dinner. When I said goodbye on Friday morning, I felt I was leaving friends behind.
They are a friendly bunch, and they all come from a small town in New York. New York City is just ten thousand small towns. You just have to get the flavor of the town and its people, and then enjoy yourself.
I love New York. Where have I heard that before?
