What are "New York values"?
Values are a reflection of what people feel is most important (which may not be so easy to articulate). This shows up in their lifestyle.So to understand what New Yorkers value, study their behaviors and decision-making process. Just answer this simple question: Based on the observable behavior and decisions of New Yorkers, what do they clearly value the most?I would observe: Connectedness, Shrewdness, and Dynamism. But I would be more intrigued to hear how New Yorkers would respond to this question.Note: this process works to assess the values of any city, state or even country. It also works to assess a company's culture, or even what a family values.
Question That Contains Assumptions: Why are New Yorkers so materialistic, valuing brand names and designers so much?
Bite your tongue while you eat a Big Mac with your Diet Coke and Heinz ketchup in your Honda Civic doing Quora on your Samsung smartphone.

New Yorkers unfriendly?
I'm not from NY so I can't really say from personal experiance, but I've seen people ask questions before just like this except it was a New York transplant in CA asking if people thought Californian's were more rude than New Yorkers. I think deep down they are all pretty nice people, espcially here in San Diego the people are very outgoing and friendly. Parts of LA might be a different story b/c of that whole Hollywood/Celebrity culture in some parts. Also Orange County with the WASP culture. But parts of NY are just as stuck up and snobby as parts of CA. Go down Park Ave, out to the Hamptons, or to Westchester county and plenty of people are stuck up, snooty, pretentious, and fake. YOu can find people like that in wealthy communities all over this country. It's mainly the difference in attitude and lifestyle that may make New Yorkers appear rude. East Coast people are generally more uptight and have that in your face attitude. They are not as chill and laid back as people in CA, but that doesnt mean they are mean and rude. They just act and treat each other differently than people in CA do. People are in more of a rush out there for some reason. You are probably right, if you got to know some more people better they probably are very nice overall. But you have to break through that NY attitude and not take it to heart. CA is just a lot more laid back so you have to keep that in mind when moving to a new place like NY.

What screams "I'm a New Yorker"?
Funny question because that’s exactly what a New Yorker wouldn't do. New Yorkers don’t scream normally. New Yorkers may give the appearance of being jaded (bored, lacking interest, etc) not true. We’ve seen just about everything so we we are waiting for something new and exciting to arouse us. Take a walk on 5th Ave around midtown. The people you see looking straight ahead but glancing side to side to make sure everything is okay are New Yorkers. They know where they are going and hope you stay out of the way so as not to interfere with their trip. We walk briskly, never saunter. Not that we are unfriendly, just cautious, very cautious. We assume that if you stop us to ask a question you have something else in mind. We’ll be happy to answer you but we are naturally suspicious with a person who is overly obsequious or friendly and assume that you want something from us. There are exceptions of course. If we see a family who is from a foreign country and evidently having a problem negotiating the neighborhood, we are happy to help by giving directions. That’s another thing. Every one of us knows where everything is in this city. I don’t know how we know this, we just do.
