It's a common misperception, Shawn.

New Yorkers are generally thought to be abrasive people.  Why?  Well, we 
don't hesitate to scream and curse at someone.

That "outsiders" don't realize is that under that tough front, New Yorkers 
are neurotically caring about everyone around them.  You would never see a 
community come together under this kind of fiasco as quickly anywhere in 
the country.
