I visited New York for the first time with a friend of mine who has family there and knows the city well. We went to Grand Central and I was admiring the beautiful artwork on the ceiling and a guy passing by called me a "fucking idiot".
I was surprised and turned to my friend to ask if he was talking to me, which they confirmed. I was actually really happy, I got the infamous NY harsh street talk! I've traveled all over the world and never was spoken to like that anywhere else. NY is truly very special.
