Forbes, though, pays special attention to the second worst:

"Cincinnati..No Fun"

"The locals with whom I had spoken were not optimistic about my prospects. After finishing a tour of Toyota Motor's (nyse: TMC - news - people ) factory in Georgetown, Ky., about an hour south of the city, the two public relations people with whom I had spent the morning (both of whom were from Cincy) asked what I would be up to for the rest of the day.

"I'm here to see if it's possible for a young, single person to have fun in Cincinnati on a Friday," I told them.

"Good luck," said one of them. The other one said to his colleague, "Boy, that would be a tough assignment, wouldn't it?"


Oddly enough, 2 hours southwest the smaller Louisville, Kentucky has quite a bit of nightlife and a booming restaurant scene.

These are the top 40 metropolitan areas in population, not every metro area in the USA.
