New Yorkers are not very friendly. Sometimes they are tense like everyone in big cities where there are a lot of traffic jams.
Some people also say they don't like New York because it's too dangerous. You shouldn't carry a lot of money on you and you should always have some change to give away.
You shouldn't walk alone or travel on the subway at night. You shouldn't behave like a tourist, but you should, as New Yorkers say, 'walk the walk'.
