Paris syndrome is a real thing (per Wikipedia), and it is described as the huge disappointing shock that tourists get (primary Japanese and Chinese tourists) when their idealized expectations of Paris is met with the harsh reality of what the city actually is. Is New York City the opposite? And is there a “New York City effect” where visitors come in expecting a distopian hell-hole filled with crime and incredibly angry and rude denizens, only to be met with a fantastic city made up of extraordinarily kind and pleasant New Yorkers? I have read posts in this sub all the time where tourists post shocking revelations of a beautiful city and pleasant interactions when they visit New York, which to me is the opposite of the Paris syndrome.
