As unfriendliness goes, Moscow is the top city for giving travelers the cold shoulder, according to a new survey. Atlantic City, N.J., comes in second, followed by St. Petersburg, Russia; Marseilles, France; and Los Angeles.

Yes, sunny L.A. takes fifth place with a rudeness rating higher than New York City.

Travel + Leisure readers are the ones who weighed in and put 15 U.S. cities, including the nation's capital, on the snarky sites list.

1. Moscow

T + L says: "We suspect the city’s notoriously bad traffic and general “aloofness” of the people contributed to its low ranking, as well as its culinary scene, which was also ranked dead last in this year’s poll."

2. Atlantic City, N.J.

Economically embattled Atlantic City got a punch from the travelers who commented: “It’s fun—if you like to gamble and don’t mind rude, fast-paced people.”

3. St. Petersburg, Russia

The architecture is stunning but apparently the demeanor of the city's residents is not.

4. Marseilles, France

"Unkempt and gritty" is how T+L described France's second-largest city.

5. Los Angeles

Pretty people but too pretentious is what the travel magazine's readers say. “Rude, unhelpful people trying to scam you for everything” one commenter elaborated. Ouch.

And then there's this insult to Miami, which ranked No. 12: "It’s as if someone took the worst part of Los Angeles and slathered coconut oil all over it."

The rest are: 6. New York 7. Philadelphia 8. Baltimore 9. Las Vegas 10. Cannes, France 11. Beijing 12. Miami 13. Washington 14. Frankfurt, Germany 15. Boston 16. Providence, R.I. 17. Naples, Italy 18. Cincinnati 19. Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 20. St. Louis 21. Xi’an, China 22. Nice, France 23. Marrakesh, Morocco 24. Milan, Italy 25. Buenos Aires 26. Lyon, France 27. Shanghai, China 28. Monte Carlo, Monaco 29. Newport, R.I. 30. St. Petersburg, Fla.
