New Yorkers don't make eye contact for no reason (which people in other places sometimes do). Eye contact without anything to explain it is perceived as a potential threat. Also, New Yorkers are perceived as rude, but they're really just in a hurry and don't want to be interrupted or distracted. But if you ask directions, or drop something, or are trying to wrestle a baby stroller, a cranky four-year-old, and three bags of groceries through a revolving door, New Yorkers will be glad to help. (Think of all the true stories of strangers helping one another on 9/11.)
