Is Philly one of America’s snobbiest cities?
(Caitlin Steiner/for NewsWorks, file)
Philadelphia is tied with Kansas City as the 14th Snobbiest City in America, according to Travel + Leisure.
The list describes Philly as full of “historic pomp,” highlights the City Tavern as a place where “George Washington and other founding fathers once dined,” and mentions Rittenhouse Square and Passyunk Square as where “up-and-comers mingle.”
However, it labels Philly’s snobbiest trait to be its “sports-crazed” locals.
