Vienna has been named the friendliest city in Europe(!)

The magazine Condé Nast Traveller has released the results of their survey on the friendliest city in Europe. (We beat out Lisbon!?!) I hardly know what to say. Friendliness is fine, but the famous “Grant” (grumpiness) in Vienna also had something.

Makes me think of the Boston Globe (New York Times?) headline when the Red Sox finally won the World Series after well over 70 years of not winning it: Now just a team like any other?

Maybe the Russians were involved?

    Wow. That seems a bit of a stretch for those of us who have known Vienna for many years! I’m finding a lot of these Conde Nast “polls” to be unreliable at best! Grantig is how I think of Viennese attitudes most of the time….
