Location-location-location firstly.\nThat's why we are the "Crossroads of the world"\n\nWhich brings us to immigration...by people suffering from tyrannical rule all over the globe. We captured these immigrants minds, souls and vast reservoirs of talent before their offspring's went off on something called "Manifest Destiny".\n\nThen there was something called opportunity. To live life as you saw fit and if you worked hard at could make your dreams come true...the port of New York became the greatest and most ethnically commercial sound port in the world, both for merchants and consumers. We had and still have anything and everything any ethnic group needs to have in order to feel at home.\nI'm not sure but I believe mile for mile we have the greatest concentration of places of worship of all ethnic groups found anywhere in the world.\nI won't ramble on and on you should grasp the point by now.

Actually,\n\nOhio and New York are both in Texas. We are such a big state that we are  "our own country".\nAs we have expanded outward, Ohio , New York and everything in between have become suburbs .\nSoon, the entire world will be line dancing, drinking draft beer and punching cows.

I live in a small town in Louisiana and I really would like to be in a big city so probably New York. The other city`s are big too, but I just think New York is such a cool place.

We've definetely noticed that Al Quada is an enemy. Also, the security changed, especially in airports (once my dad had to take off everything except his pants because they were suspecting him!) and less people started visited NYC. Everything is in New York City, which is why the terrorists decided to kill many birds in one stone by suicide bombing the World Trade Center. My dad helps restaurants in NYC, and he noticed that there were far less people visiting the restaurants of NYC. If you ever go to the Empire State Building, you'll have to wait in about 5 really long lines because of the tight security.\n\nI think that everything you need about 9/11 and its results would be found here:\nhttp://noosphere.princeton.edu/terror.html\nRate it and tell me if it is a helpful link, please.

I think the survey would probably have been based on people's experiences in restaurants, shops, with public servants, etc. etc. etc.  Of course I can't say for sure.\n\nI don't find it that unusual that New York should be ranked at the top, even though the place has a reputation for surliness.\n\nNew York is a very ethnically diverse city, a major tourist destination, and as with Chicago and Boston, there is a great deal of a kind of feeling of local pride.\n\nBecause of all of this when you go into say an Italian restaurant in New York as a tourist, you will probably get a much warmer reception than your average restaurant in other international cities.\n\nLet me explain.  An Italian growing up in New York has a very strong sense of his being a New York Italian.  So when a tourist comes to his business and shows a lot of interest in the food, the places to go in the city, just being in New York generally, the proprietor or whoever is working, may take a sense of pride from being able to be this kind of friendly personable representative of the great American metropolis.\n\nAlso, because there is often a lot of tension in the every day grind with the crowds, the traffic, crime, etc. etc. if you go into say a butcher shop in New York run by say a typical New York butcher of Irish descent, he is likely to have that same sense of identity, and if you show a lot of interest in his business, the meats, just the novelty of being in a typical kind of New York butcher shop or fish market or whatever, then it taps into a kind of sense of celebrity that people feel just because they are part of a distinctive cultural and social scene.\n\nIn a place like Sydney, you don't have the same kind of history of ethnicities, immigrant experiences, defined neighborhoods, boroughs, etc. etc. etc.  Therefore in the consciousness of the average shop owner, restarauteur, or whatever, there isn't this feeling of significance as part of a defined community, so when you go into a store and start conversing with the employees or proprietor, you are unable to offer them any kind of sense of deeper appreciation for their unique cultural background, social identity, and they also feel less like you are coming into a particular experience of their life than that you are just a customer.\n\nJust to give you an example in fact of the same kind of dynamic but in a different setting.  When I was in Berlin, I would go into stores or restaraunts run by Germans and there would be just kind of an ordinary feeling that I was just a customer and they were just running a business.  I would get my food or whatever merchandise I was purchasing and the person helping me would do so in a straight forward ordinary kind of way.  There was one particular Turkish restaurant I would eat at though, that was run by a Turkish immigrant, of course, and his brother, and they were very enthusiastic to engage me at a personal level and offer me their own Turkish tea, talk to me about me or let me talk to them about themselves and their deal, etc. etc. etc\n\nBecause of this, I think it is not at all unusual that New York should get that kind of recognition, whereas a less ethnically diverse city like Sydney might offer less in the way of "personality."\n\nThat is not to say that there are not all kinds of diverse cultural opportunities and experiences in Sydney, only that it is not historically the kind of cultural microcosm that is New York.

there is a great book to read about this:\n\nthe city at the center of the world\n\nessentially, the duke of york, the king of england's  brother, thought that controlling the port of new amsterdam would be advantageous to english colonial aspirations and business.  he sailed a navy and army there and the dutch settlers refused to help governor peter stuyvesant fight the english because stuyvesant had been such a tyrant.\n\nthe english took over and changed the name to new york, after the duke of york.  hopefully someone will come along and provide you with more details.

Don't know for sure but i know that New York was originally called New Amsterdam. It was settled by the Dutch. England won it lost it to the Dutch and won it back again. I think because it was not orginally english that is not part of New England. It also is too far south and has different culture.

I think I heard this recently on the news--and it was Los Angeles.  This surprised me, because I thought New York City would be by far.

Some people love it. It is big and crowded, and exciting.  There is tons of things to see and do.  I really do believe it is the greatest city in the world. Like Huey Lewis said: "Where else can you do a half a million things, all at a quarter to 3?"  Some people thrive in the competition, and the hustle and bustle.  Others can't handle that kind of thing... As for New Yorkers being rude... only people who have never been to NY say that.  I drove a taxi in NYC, and now I live in Arizona.... The people in Phoenix are the rudest drivers I have ever seen.  I drove in Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and really all over, and always met wonderful interesting and helpful people.
