When I worked in NYC years ago I noticed very quickly New Yorkers tended to say that a lot. Putting ‘’what’’ at the end of a question. Instead of asking, “What are you, crazy?’’. They’d say “Are youse crazy or what?’’.
Yeah, so the New York accent and inflections are the hard part. All I know about it I saw on TV. I’m an Oregonian my whole life.

It’s a secret evil Canadian plot to start talking like them. For example:
NYer “ Eh! What’s wrong with you?”
Canadian “ What’s wrong with you eh?”
