This study was conducted by Bizjournals, the only media division of American City Business Journal. The whole goal of this study was to find a wide variety of fun things to do the America .
The number one place, of course was New York City. New York City adopted the name The Fun City in the mid-1960s. They have an excellent array of recreation and entertainment options. New York City got top spots in three of the seven catagories; food and drink, culture, and low-impact sports. It came in second for popular entertainment and third for high-impact sports. New York City has 439 performing arts companies, that is more than the three runner-ups combined, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas.
Boston was names the second "funnest" place in the America. They got the top scores in shopping and high-impact sports. They got first in these two because they have tons of shopping, which you would know if you lived there, and they have a lot of fitness and easy to access ski hills. They also scored seventh in food and drink, sixth in culture, seventh in popular entertainment, 34th in gambling, and seventh in low-impact sports.
The next three top places were (11)Miami, (12)New Orleans, and (13)Las Vegas. This was a surprise to me that they didn't make the top ten because they are all warm places. Vegas really surprised me that they were so low because that seems like a very popular place.
The Top Cities in the Seven Catagories were:
Shopping-Boston
Food and Drink-New York City
Culture- New York City
Popular Entertainment (including spectator sports)-Los Angeles
Gambling- Las Vegas (of course, no surprise)
High-Impact Sports (such as skiing and fitness centers)-Boston
Low-Impact Sports (such as golf centers and bowling centers)- New York City

I really liked this post because it was fun to see what places I've been to already that are considered the top fun places in America. And I loved seeing the other places that I haven't been to so that I know where I should go on my next vacation! I love how you broke it up at the bottom of the post and showed the top city for each category like shopping and culture and entertainment. That really helped me decide where I would like to go.
