A city as a whole can't be "snobby" but NYC sure has some snobs. I was a temp doorman during College at a building on Central Park West and the way some of those people treated the employees was pretty nasty.
In fact, why is St. Louis even on this list at all? Or New Orleans for that matter? Those are 2 of the LEAST pretentious/snooty cities in the nation.
Sorry but New Orleans definitely deverses to be there. Lots of people are very pompous and annoying about the place. St. Louis though like I said before was a waste of option. I can't see why anybody would vote for it over all these other places unless they were just joking or out of spite.

All of them are snobby to some degree. Snobby New Yorkers, snobby Seattle-ites, Chicago Nazis. San Franciscans ride a pretty high horse too. LA is not so snobby as it is self-absorbed.
Contrary to popular belief of foreigners, there isn't really any trait that characterizes any one American city so much that it holds true for that city overwhelmingly and do not apply to any other American city. We are not droids, we are not robots, we are not so homogenized, and we are not so black and white.
There are snobbish people in every city in the US and they are known as the RICH. Some rich people are nice and not snobbish. Even in the south, where there are many stereotyped rednecks, we have the extremely wealthy white rich land owners, ala The Great Gatsby.
I know people from Boston and NYC who cannot be snobby even if they wanted to. Guess who they are? They are the working class people.
I'd agree that the suburbs are generally more snobby. In terms of city-pride, I find that more pronounced in NYC. There are even NYC residents who tell me they truly believe that the rest of America "have low expectations" for not living in NYC.
