The cost of going to the movies, number of public beaches per capita and miles of bicycle lanes per square mile were some of the factors that determined the point total.
Chicago ranked 88 in recreation, 69 in food and entertainment, and 83 in rest and relaxation. The city was one of the worst in nation (87 out of 90) in the number of aquariums and zoos per capita as well as fewest beer gardens per capita (79 out of 81).
Major Midwestern cities such as Cincinnati (10) and St. Louis (14), as well as some smaller ones -- Akron, Ohio (71) and Fort Wayne, Ind. (97) -- came in ahead of Chicago.
