Don't assume everyone from NY State is from the "city". ("Noo Yawker's"). Western NY is far different from NYC, as is NY state north of Albany.

Quite a lot of Noo Yawkers do show up. They can be loud and brash, but also good-natured and fun. You're never a stranger with them. After 5 minutes playing with them (or against them) it is like you've known them for years.

Maybe the pickleball crowd is different.
