MANHATTAN — New York apparently has an attitude problem.
The city clawed back her crown as America's rudest after briefly ceding the title to Los Angeles, according to a poll by Travel + Leisure released this month.
The poll, which includes metrics for attractivenesss and best pizza, bestowed New York with the dubious honor in the "America's Favorite Cities" survey.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. were also noted for their rudeness.
While New Yorkers may be the least polite of big city Americans, readers also ranked them Number one for diversity and stylishness, according to the survey. New York also enjoyed the top spot for theater, classical music and upscale shopping, though it ranked near the bottom for affordability and "peace and quiet."
None of it kept away New York's millions of tourists, who flocked to the city in record numbers this year.
Still, thinner-skinned travelers might prefer New Orleans, which pulled ahead of San Juan and Nashville to claim the title of America's friendliest city.
