The G-7 travel website conducted this study on social media sites that reach 1,5 million people; respondents ranked Minnesota first in terms of friendliness.

“I help strangers. I don't block subway doors. This is what it means to be friendly in New York,” said one New Yorker who took part in the survey, hinting that tourists often do the opposite.

Residents of the city note that the most important and valuable thing for them is time, so anything that does not take up their time or saves it is a manifestation of friendliness. And this, in turn, leads to the fact that New Yorkers prefer not to waste time on excessive friendliness and simply remain honest.

There is a local legend that is told again and again in New York that captures the essence of New York friendliness and the city's understanding of it. The story goes: a woman leaving a New York subway car left her glove on her seat. She realized this too late to get the glove before the doors closed. Therefore, she makes an instant decision - she throws the second glove that she had in her hand into the closing door of the carriage, so that whoever finds the gloves can use them, having a full pair. That's what New York friendliness is: subtle kindness.

“The true New Yorker secretly believes that people who live elsewhere are in some sense childish,” said American writer John Updike.
