If you’re a Chicago resident, you might just be living in one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world.
"Avondale is a rare place that feels equally welcoming to families, arty twenty-somethings and working-class Chicagoans," Time Out says."And as the neighborhood deals with rising rents and other symptoms of gentrification, community organizations are hard at work to make sure it stays that way."
If you're itching to spend a day filled with Avondale-style cool, Time Out suggests starting it with pastries at the Loaf Lounge -- whose chocolate cake was made famous by the FX show The Bear -- enjoying the Polish cathedral-style architecture at the Basilica of St. Hyacinth, eating tacos at Taqueria Mazamitla and then knocking a few vintage pins down at Avondale Bowl.
Rounding out the list's top 10 coolest neighborhoods are Cais do Sodré in Lisbon, Portgual at No. 2; Wat Bo Village in Siem Reap, Cambodia at No. 3; Mile End in Monteal, Canada at No. 5; Barrio Logan in San Diego, California at No. 6; Shimokitawawa in Tokyo, Japan at No. 7; Clifton, in Margate, UK at No. 8; Barrio Yungay in Santigo, Chile at No. 9; and Cours Julien in Marseille, France at No. 10.
