Travel mag Conde Nast Traveler asked its readers to name (and shame) the friendliest and unfriendliest cities in the US and across the world. The "unfriendliest" winner was deemed to be Newark, NJ, with one reader saying he would not recommend as anything but "a cheaper/less busy airport to fly into while visiting other cities." Other winners and losers:
- The next four unfriendliest cities in the US? Oakland, New Haven, Detroit, and Atlantic City, which one voter calls a "pale shadow of Las Vegas."
- Globally, Islamabad, Pakistan; Luanda, Angola; Kuwait City, Kuwait; Lome, Togo; and Tangier, Morocco, were voted the top unfriendliest non-US cities.
