The way New Yorkers speak or act sometimes can be interpreted as "rude" by non-New Yorkers. And vice-versa of course.
Perhaps you just misinterpreted their behavior or they thought you were rude or "weird".
Here's a REALLY interesting article on NY accents and the way of speaking and how non-NYers interpret it as "rude" or harsh. Its actually kind of funny:

I live in NY and from borough to borough the attitude of people is not different.
Residents of the Bronx, in general, shouldn't have a different attitude than residents of the other 4 boroughs.
Perhaps its just the people you encountered.

must've been something you did or the way you act.
