Turns out, area codes are assigned on a random basis. Neustar even downplays the importance of area codes, claiming they’ve lost their potency as signifiers. But that is just a huge lie. In a highly scientific email poll I did of 22 overly opinionated friends, a definite consensus emerged. New York’s 212, 718 and 917 are widely regarded as kosher, while 646 and 347 are embarrassing and shameful.

“It’s the same as 212. They just multiplied it by 3, and then they added one to the middle number. It’s the same.”
