New York was ranked as the fourth "most fun" state in the U.S.
While it may not be a fun as California, Florida and Nevada, it came in first place for best performing arts - theaters per capita, No. 2 for best fitness centers per capita and No. 3 for best restaurants and movie theaters per capita. It also came in fifth place as best golf courses and country clubs per capita.
Our less fun neighbors in New Jersey and Connecticut neighbors came in at 31 and 43, respectively.
