New York - Polite?

Well, I have not been there in years, but my experiences have also been uniformly positive.
And of all things, Tyler Cowen has a beautiful succinct explanation of the result.

There is so much human capital in the city one is always tempted to speak to strangers, given the reasonably high chance you will hear something magnificent in return. Third and fourth were Toronto and Berlin.

Let me rephrase for non-economists. The place is full of such variety of amazing people, the chances are good that anyone you run into will be interesting! Don't let me sell Toronto short. It is another magnificent city, in exactly the same ways, though we probably would not want anyone thinking we were similar to New York City!
