California, home to many iconic landmarks like the Hollywood Sign, Golden Gate Bridge and Balboa Park, is also home to one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world, according to Time Out magazine.
East Hollywood was ranked as the 26th coolest neighborhood in the world due to its growing culinary scene.
“Free of Tinseltown’s tourist traps, neighbor East Hollywood has begun to stake its claim as LA’s buzziest culinary destination. Much of that rep can be credited to Melrose Hill, a developer-driven block at Melrose and Western Avenues whose brick buildings house a cluster of casual restaurants as well as the Erewhon-esque LA Grocery & Café,” the magazine said in part.
East Hollywood was the only neighborhood from California to be named on the list.
Time Out considered Notre-Dame-du-Mont in Marseille, France, to be the coolest neighborhood in the world.
These are the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in the world:
-
Notre-Dame du Mont, Marseille, France
-
Mers Sultan, Casablanca, Morocco
-
Pererenan, Bali, Indonesia
-
Seongsu-dong, Seoul, South Korea
-
Kerns, Portland, USA
-
Stokes Croft & St Paul’s, Bristol, UK
-
Chippendale, Sydney, Australia
-
Principe Real, Lisbon, Portugal
-
Glória, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
-
Windsor, Melbourne, Australia
To produce the rankings, the media company’s network of editors and writers supplied their picks, which were vetted against criteria including what Time Out calls the area’s “one-of-a-kind local flavor.”
In 2022, Silver Lake in Los Angeles, Barrio Logan in San Diego, and Dog Patch in San Francisco were named in the report.
