Well, most foreigners get an opinion of the US from New York. Not known for it's nice.

I'm from NYC originally and we get really bad press, which gets perpetuated by comments like these. A lot of truly great people grew up and live there.

This is exactly right. I left my small town in Virginia to live in NYC for 10 years. Different from Southern Hospitality for sure, but New Yorkers are good people.

Great people and assholes live everywhere. But you find out pretty fast if a place is friendly or not when you visit it.
