Time Out says Colonia Americana's eclectic mix of historic Art Deco mansions and warehouse-based music venues clinched the deal.
It's one of the best parts about a vacation -- that moment when you discover the side of the city that's clearly more popular with locals than tourists.
Topping the 2022 round-up is buzzy Colonia Americana, located in the city of Guadalajara in western Mexico. Time Out says Colonia Americana's eclectic mix of historic Art Deco mansions and warehouse-based music venues clinched the deal. Hot on the heels of Colonia Americana is Lisbon's riverside Cais do Sodré, which took the number two spot on the list. Long famed for its vibrant nightlife, the Portuguese neighborhood is now making a name for itself as a foodie hotspot.
The highest rated American neighborhood came in at number four -- New York City's Ridgewood. Time Out says this Queens-located area's balance of new, upcoming bars and restaurants, alongside institutions like pastry shop Rudy's Bakery -- which opened in 1934 -- that earned it a spot on the 2022 list.
