Travel+ Leisure asked readers to rank 35 cities for its annual survey in a number of categories that included rudest, best pizza and most pedestrian-friendly streets.
"Judging by the results, there did seem to be a trend: the bigger the city, the bigger the attitude," it concluded.
People in smaller cities tend to take life a little easier, so it may come as no surprise that New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston were all ranked in the top five cities for friendliness.
But everything moves at a New York minute in the Big Apple, so it easily won as rudest city.
Here’s the full list of the rudest cities in order:
New York City, Miami, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Atlanta, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Baltimore, Orlando, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Anchorage, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Seattle, Providence, RI, San Diego and Salt lake City.
