WHAT ACCENT DOES THE NEW YORK CITY ACCENT SOUND LIKE THE MOST TO NON-NEW YORKERS?

COMMENTS:
It's one of the few North American accents that Brits can distinguish. It is unlike any other accent. It has the American 'drawl', and has the "R" that Americans pronounce ("Carl" = "Carral" not the British "Cahl") but is spoken much faster than most American accents. I like it. "Dawwog" for "dog", etc. No idea where it has come from. Does the accent exist in NY state or just the City?
sometimes they sound exactly like southern louisiana ppl. they say "what the fuck??!!" exactly the same from brooklyn or new orleans
We sound like New Yorkers!
Which part of New York? There are a lot of different accents in that city.
