Are New Yorkers getting more rude?

Crosstown with Pat Kiernan

New Yorkers have always had the reputation of being rude. But have things worsened throughout the pandemic? We go to the streets to see if New Yorkers think their neighbors are more gruff and then speak to an expert about why COVID-19 stressors might factor into this. We also conduct an experience to see how people on a street respond to someone who needs help. This episode contains explicit language.
