In a strange way, we pride ourselves on being the biggest jacka** of fans in North America.

Well, there is something to strive for.
As for the people of New York being rude, I knew that was the stereotype and was fully expecting the same thing. However, the people there were all very nice. Maybe I talked to the only 5 nice people in New York, but every stranger that I asked a question or chatted with was very helpful. I can remember one person quite well. Since my brother and I are Devils fans we stayed at a hotel near CAA, so we took a ferry to New York. The ferry had signs up all over the place saying that you had to stay within the ferry. My brother wanted a close up picture of the Statue of Liberty, but the windows were a bit smudged. So one of the ferry workers took us out on the deck and started asking where we were from and what we were doing that day. He recommended a few restaurants on our route and let us know of a few events going on that day. Everyone seemed rather friendly.
I've heard what happens to tourists in Philly. Especially ones wearing Devils jackets. I'd be crazy to go there.
