New York has made it on many rudest states lists, often finding itself placed in the number one spot. You could say that the standoffish attitude of New Yorkers is due to the high influx of tourists, the high cost of goods, or the never-ending traffic with drivers who blare their horns all throughout the night.
New York is also fast-paced, which some may confuse as rudeness. People don't have time for small talk and would rather get back to their over-priced 200-square-foot apartment.
