It used to be New York was the place of strangers being rude to travelers, but this year, according to a new ranking of cities by Travel and Leisure, Miami is the rudest city in America.
We thought we felt a cold shoulder in the hot city!
The ranking includes quality of life features like “how walkable a city is, how safe it feels, and how cordial (or not) the locals seem,” according to the magazine.
And apparently Miami is not any of those things, except not cordial!
But what it is is: “multilingual, beautiful and wealthy,” according to what Florida travel blogger Christine Austin told Travel and Leisure.
“For regular folks, visiting here can feel like stumbling into a nightclub full of supermodels while you’re wearing yoga pants,” she said.
And theres the heat.
“It’s hot here — like, all the time,” she said. “The kind of heat that makes you just want to blame someone.”
Well said!
Last year Miami was in second place, but this year it took the prize for inhospitableness!
According to Travel and Leisure, “Maybe it’s Miami’s display of luxury, from gleaming new condos to couture boutiques that turned off travelers. In addition to rudeness, the city had a pretty high snob score.”
Ouch!
