Newark in New Jersey is the unfriendliest city in the world according to the survey. “Newark is best known for being the site of an airport near New York, and for many of our readers, that’s the only reason to stop there,” said the Conde Nast Traveler write up.

In total five U.S. cities were voted into the top 10 meanest cities and eight made the top 20.

Oakland (3rd) “has an image problem and a split personality” according to one reader who answered the survey. New Haven (7th) is the city of “rude, unfriendly folks;” Detroit (8th) was named the “armpit of the world” by one reader and Atlantic City (9th) dismissed as a “pale shadow of Las Vegas.”
