According to an in-depth study conducted by WalletHub, San Francisco ranked #4 in the best places to spend New Year’s Eve.

The personal finance website used 29 different indicators and analyzed the 100 largest U.S. cities. They took into account: 1) Entertainment & Food, 2) Costs, and 3) Safety & Accessibility.

Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 being the “most favorable.” San Francisco came out with a 67.03 total score. NYC earned the top spot with 70.2, Orlando, Florida was #2 at 70.12 and #3 went to Las Vegas, Nevada at 70.09. Rounding out the top 5 was Atlanta, Georgia at #5 with 66.0.

San Francisco scored very well in food and entertainment at #4, and fair on safety and accessibility at #22, but ranked near the bottom for cost at #93, which should come as no surprise. SF loves to party but a night out in this city can get very expensive very quickly.
