The most welcoming U.S. cities? Least welcoming?

Question

Most: Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Amarillo, New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, Raleigh-Durham, Columbia, SC, Honolulu, Sioux Falls, Fargo, Madison, WI

Least: Louisville, Lexington, New York, Newark, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, OH, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, OR, San Diego, Sacramento, Denver, Phoenix, Kansas City, St. Louis, Miami, Orlando

As you can tell, I've been around (lol).

Most welcoming entails friendly people at the terminal booths, in restaurants, hotels, and just in the city altogether. Least friendly obviously entails the opposite.

Answer 1

I agree with most of your list actually, and I've been to all the cities above for work travel - and I'm NOT at all proud of that - actually, pretty pissed! Here's my additions:

Most Welcoming: Kauai, Hawaii, San Diego, CA, and Minneapolis, MN.

Least Welcoming: Washington, DC, New Orleans, LA, and San Francisco, CA.

Answer 2

I think that anywhere in the Southeast is pretty friendly as long as you don't laugh at our yalls and as long as it's not a big city in Florida. Mississippi is a great state. I've also had some great experiences in Denver, except for the airport. Even if you say they are cruel, I think they're really nice. It does help to have a tour guide though, like a relative.

Answer 3

Austin was the friendliest place I have been to in my life while my city near Los Angeles is the most unfriendliest in the world.....we are snobs

Answer 4

Most welcoming = Seattle
Least welcoming =Pittsburgh

Answer 5
