New York City: In a study, The Politest City in the World

[beachguy in thongs]

Some study. Why would people bomb it?

The study considered how much people pick up trash, how often locals open doors for visitors, and I'm really not sure what else.

Yeah, everyone thinks it's a mean place to be and non new yorkers ask me if I've ever been mugged on the streets before..

Nicest place ever.
Ask for directions and you'll get more than enough info and maybe even a fuckin' cookie.

NEW YORK FUCKIN CITY!

not too sure about harlem or the bronx

[Faultydesign]

I think any city I'm in is the nicest city

I like NYC and have always been treated beautifully there. I love the place, in fact. I sometimes get a little razzing over my Texas accent, but that's always very good-natured ribbing. My experience has been that it's a very polite city.

i always have fun while i'm new york city where ever i'm at...
never had any problems and most of the people are definenetly polite.
I could do without all the people bumping into you in downtown NYC though..

NYC was the only american city they did.

They studied the largest cities of 35 countries. They studied only 35 cities in the world.

I read this study from yahoo also. The least polite people were in Asia.
