Long Island Towns Dominate List of Snobbiest Places in NY

Seven of the top 10 ”snobbiest” places in New York are located on Long Island, if you believe new rankings released by RoadSnacks.

Garden City came in at No. 1 on the list, which the infotainment website says it created by making a list of all of the places in New York with 5,000 people or more, and then looking at each in terms of these snobby criteria:

• Median home price (higher is snobbier)
• Median household income (higher is snobbier)
• Percent of population with a college degree
• Private schools per capita (higher is snobbier)
• Theaters per capita (higher is snobbier)
• Art galleries per capita (higher is snobbier)

“There are certain parts of the country where residents and snootiness go together like a snob and a superiority complex,” the website says.

But, RoadSnacks says, “Don’t get your Uwe Koetter panties in a twist though – we’re not saying that there’s anything wrong with any of these places. In fact, if you’re well-educated, well-paid, and highly cultured, good for you!”

Here are the 10 “snobbiest” places in New York, according to RoadSnacks:

1. Garden City
2. Huntington
3. Rockville Centre
4. Massapequa
5. Melville
6. White Plains
7. Syosset
8. New City
9. Saratoga Springs
10. Merrick
