I'm not clicking through 50 pages but I have always found Americans in every place I have been extremely welcoming and friendly. Granted I have not been to New York (yet).

When I worked in South Korea - all the Americans on the military base were awesome. Also, when I was involved with the Hash House Harrier Running club "A drinking club with a running problem" all the Americans there were great. I dated two of them.

Granted Americans willing to live abroad are perhaps more on the open-minded side of the spectrum, but still.

The folks I meet at the audio shows I have attended are batting like 99% in terms of friendly - ditto when I go to Las Vegas or conventions.

I do sort of getting why major cities will be less polite or friendly - they seem "under pressure" with deadlines and the rat race environment. People want to kind of shut off and try for quiet in a loud tight space (on subway trains) and may be on edge from driving in stop and go traffic for hours to get to a job they probably don't much love to make money for someone else. I know I did it for a time and I would look around in a packed subway station and think - holy crap I am a rat wandering around underground coming up to a city surround by concrete to work for some ass-hat for my scraps of cheese. I knew I had to change careers even if it meant less money. So I get why they become on edge.

Besides, Paris can make most places seem super polite in comparison.
