San Francisco Named ‘Snobbiest City’

Despite earning the “Best City” title from Business Week and the most gay-friendly city, Travel + Leisure recently ranked San Francisco No. 1 snobbiest city.

Here’s what the travel publication had to say about our fair city, which still managed to attract an estimated 1.4 million visitors for the Pride celebration yesterday:

“San Francisco has cultivated its reputation as a serious foodie city, and readers gave it high marks for both fine dining and ethnic cuisine, even if they did also experience some sticker shock. To shop at hip boutiques, browse galleries, and dine among the cognoscenti, check out the Hayes Valley neighborhood and its Absinthe Brasserie & Bar.” Read more.

Editors at Travel + Lesiure ranked cities based on reputation for “smarty-pants residents,” shopping options and “highbrow cultural offers” and used information gathered from its annual reader survey, according to the article.

Other cities on the list include:

2. New York
3. Boston
4. Minneapolis/St. Paul
5. Sante Fe
6. Seattle
7. Chicago
8. PRovidence, R.I.
