Pondering New York City Hospitality

This week, I overheard two guests comment that the staff members of our restaurant really exude the "mid-western influence" of the company's CEO in their service style.

I'm from New Jersey, and have been exposed to NYC my whole life.  I don't know if I've had an exceptional experience, but I've always been very pleased with New Yorkers' thoughtful consideration whenever I've needed direction or even if I am seeking recommendations and insider-opinions.  I admit many people in the city are very rushed, but not necessarily inherently rude.  I don't mean to say that each region of the US doesn't have its own personalized way of making visitors feel at home and comfortable, but is it fair to call New York generally UNwelcoming?
