10 'Coolest' Neighborhoods in the World

It's a little subjective, but Time Out has come up with the "coolest neighborhoods" in the world to visit. Colonia Americana in Mexico tops the list, and two places in the US—the Ridgewood neighborhood of New York City and Barrio Logan in San Diego—crack the top 10, per CNN Travel. How to qualify? Think excellent but off-the-beaten-path bars and restaurants, and an excellent mix of things to do and see. Maybe most importantly, think places that feel authentic, not like tourist traps. Here are the top 10:

1. Colonia Americana in Guadalajara, Mexico
2. Cais do Sodre in Lisbon, Portugal
3. Wat Bo Village in Siem Reap, Cambodia
4. Ridgewood in New York City
5. Mile End in Montreal, Canada
6. Barrio Logan in San Diego
7. Shimokitazawa in Tokyo
8. Cliftonville in Margate, UK
9. Barrio Yungay in Santiago, Chile
10. Cours Julien in Marseille, France
