Snob: a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and dislikes people or activities regarded as lower-class.

With that definition in mind and as you sip your $13 coffee, what do you think are the snobbiest or most arrogant towns in New Jersey? You know, the ones where those living there look down on everyone else?

Their benchmarks included the following:

North vs. South Jersey

Before diving in, perhaps we should address the belief that those in North Jersey, generally speaking, find themselves superior to those in South Jersey. Surprisingly, but not surprisingly, that might be true since not a single town from the south side of the garden made the cut.

From their top 10 list, we'll run down the seven snobbiest...
