Where Did New Jersey Rank On The Most Fun Cities List?

We are a fun group in New Jersey, aren’t we?  In fact, we spend over $3,500 on entertaining ourselves every year.  WalletHub took a deep dive into what cities spend the most on fun and I was curious where New Jersey cities ranked.

They came out with the “Most Fun Cities In America” list by comparing 180 cities, what they have to offer and how much we are willing to spend to have a good time.  Did New Jersey make the top 20?

The answer to that is no.  I beg to differ!  You can see where we fall on the full list here.
