The 7 Friendliest Towns In New York State
From an outsider perspective, the State of New York is cold, dark, and certainly not friendly. The first thing anyone thinks of, when someone refers to New York, is New York City; the largest city in the country and a reputation of rude and very unfriendly.
But as those who live in the rest of the state know, New York is not like that at all, or at least a majority of it.
Much of this state is countryside, farmland, little towns, and smaller cities that feature great food, a cool atmosphere, and friendly residents.
