NYC has a population of millions. When in the city, it makes sense you don't wave as you just want to get where your going. I grew up in a small town in the Midwest of about 5,000, heck, we knew most everybody and waved all the time.

We have friends that once lived in a neighborhood on Long Island---they waved to residents in their neighborhood. We grew up waving so we still do it without even thinking. We wave even if you don't wave back. Wave---it's catching! Maybe next time you will wave too.
