Survey: Newark (NJ) is world’s ‘Most Unfriendly City’

[DainBramaged]

Welcome to NJ now go home


A recent survey shows that Newark is the most unfriendly city in the world.

New Jersey’s largest city was ranked at the top of the list in a survey of over 46,000 Conde Nast Traveler readers. The survey was part of the magazine’s annual Reader’s Choice Survey.

Many readers said the only reason to go to Newark is for the "cheaper/less busy airport" and that there are "a lot of rude people there.”

8. They seem to have very different methods and are measuring different things

I think people from Maine are the US's worst pricks, at least in my super scientific study I've made as I've traveled through the lower 48 states. They seem to be really happy about it.

California sure does have a lot of happy cities. I wish I still lived there.
