06 New York City
The nation's largest and most iconic city is also its least friendly — in fact, New Yorkers take a certain pride in their characteristic rudeness. Residents and visitors alike agree that NYC just wouldn't be the same without the honking of horns while cab drivers weave in and out of traffic, cutting off other drivers, people rushing along the sidewalks jostling one another, pushing their way to the front of the line every chance they get and generally exhibiting a "me first" attitude in their interactions with others. It's probably because the city experiences such a high degree of population density that individuals feel they have to carve out their personal space and set strong boundaries. However, New Yorkers are remarkable about coming together when the chips are down.
