New York named America's rudest city

Melbourne, Jan 20 (ANI): New York is America's most unfriendly city, according to a new survey conducted by a magazine.

The survey, conducted by Time and Leisure Magazine, has published its 2011 survey of favourite American cities with categories ranging from nightlife and bars to culture, shopping and people.

However, the article said The Big Apple was also America's most diverse city, which could explain some of the unfriendliness.

"New Yorkers' mannerisms are unfamiliar to many and people don't mean to be nasty," the Herald Sun quoted the survey as saying.

Miami was named the second rudest city in the US, but to make up for its impolite inhabitants, it can offer partygoers America's fourth best bar scene and a great New Year's Eve bash.

Washington DC, Los Angeles and Boston rounded off the top five.

Sin City, Las Vegas, came in at number 12. It didn't even manage to win the Best Nightlife accolade, with New Orleans pipping it to the post.

America's dirtiest cities were New York and Baltimore and New York and Las Vegas were named the noisiest.

Both residents and visitors voted in the survey. (ANI)
