A bit of good news? Is NYC nice?

New York City only 58th angriest city in U.S., Detroit finishes a top Men's Health magazine rankings

This "study" is not very scientific, but do you agree that New York is not such an angry city? I think we judge "anger" by more than whether we are at high risk for a felonious assault, and in large part by the attitude and level of courtesy of those we deal with on a day to day basis.  None of the items considered really get at that factor, which is difficult to measure.  It would be nice to believe we live in a super-friendly city, but what's nice is largely a matter of perspective.
