Buffalo Named The Best City To Take A Staycation

(Gabriel Edwards/Thinkstock)

You know what a staycation is right? It's when you take time off from work to rest, but don't actually go somewhere like you would on a vacation. You stay at home. Hence the term "staycation".

If you live in Buffalo, according to a new poll done by Wallethub, you've found your staycation destination right at home.

In the study, they compared each of the 100 largest cities in the U.S. based on 20 key metrics – ranging from the number of public golf courses and swimming pools per capita to the cost of maid services.

Buffalo not only made the list, but topped it!
