Named the “coolest” streets in the world
[ad_1]
In 2022, Time Out – the media and hospitality brand that publishes guides to some of the world’s most interesting cities – released its second annual roundup of the world’s steepest streets.
The culture of the city can be determined not only by the district, but also by the street.
“In most parts of the world, pre-pandemic life has returned with a bang. People are enthusiastically making plans and heading back to their cities and vacations,” said James Manning, Time Out travel editor.
This year there are 33 streets on the list, three more than in the first review in 2021. It also includes several new cities including Taipei, Mumbai, Athens and Accra.
North America
The leader of the list this year was Wellington Street in Montreal’s Verdun district.
Time Out Canada editor Laura Osborne says the street has “killer cocktail bars, stellar brunch bars, some of the best sandwich bars in town, and even a sandy city beach” plus it will be pedestrianized in 2023, which will no doubt add more steepness.
While the United States didn’t take the top spot, America can be confident knowing that it has the most streets on the list – Calle Ocho in Miami, MacDougal Street in New York (home to perennial favorite cocktail bar Dante) and Wentworth in Chicago.
Mexico’s representative on the list is Avenida Amsterdam in the trendy Condesa district of Mexico City.
Asia and the Pacific
Five of the top 10 streets are in this region.
Melbourne, Australia topped the 2021 list from Smith Street but dropped to second position this year. City Street Gertrude made the list, with Eliza Campbell of Time Out Australia describing it as “beautiful, unassuming and devoid of the raucous nightlife of its comparatively noisy siblings”.
In seventh place is Tai Ping Shan on the main island of Hong Kong.
Taipei’s Yongkang Street, home to craft beer maker Zhang Men Brewing, will make a splashy debut for 2022.
Europe
The UK’s capital’s coolest street in 2022 is Deptford High Street, a mix of street stalls, markets, shops, bars and more that, according to Time Out editor Chris Wavell, is not just London’s steepest street, but “the most lively.”
Further north, Glasgow’s Great Western Road comes in third.
And the Danish capital Copenhagen ranks fifth. Wernedamsvei Street has been dubbed “mini Paris” by Time Out editors because of its wine and cheese shops and plenty of fresh flowers.
