The City Beautiful may be hot this time of the year, but it also is the sixth-coolest city in 2010, according to a new ranking of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Coolest Cities\u201d by Forbes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The top five cities included New York City and Las Vegas (tied for No. 1), Seattle, Chicago and Oakland, Calif.<\/p>\n

To compile the list, market research company Harris Interactive polled 2,104 adults in July from across the U.S., asking which of the 40 largest metropolitan statistical areas were the coolest.<\/p>\n

Factors measured ranged from number of restaurants, bars and clubs to concert venues.<\/p>\n

Orlando ranked 29th among the metros for number of restaurants, bars and clubs; 34th in number of museums, theaters, stadiums and arenas; and 32nd in galleries and concert venues.<\/p>\n

Miami made the top 10, coming in at No. 9 on the list.<\/p>\n
