i used to live on the far northern reaches of andersonville (edgewater).

it's an absolutely wonderful place to live, but second coolest in the world?

come on...........





at least it's good to know that the stupid listicle trend is showing no signs of ever abating.

No São Paulo this time. But Saúde, Rio de Janeiro, I had to google it. Apparently it's a tiny district adjacent to Rio de Janeiro's Downtown.

Looking at Google Maps, there's almost nothing there aside a couple of bars and a famous gay nightclub with a branch here in São Paulo. Those ones with people do drugs heavily. It hasn't survived the pandemics though. Browsing the GSV, it has some cute and decrepit old houses.

Brickell, Miami... Is it cool? I thought it was only a place full of wealth middle-aged Brazilians with those chain restaurants. If that's the case, it's the exact opposite of cool.

Brickell is super nice, but, coolness would depend on your age. There are a few chains. I did the architectural drawings for the Chipotle Brickell location:

It's not cool.

Hipster cool is Wynwood
Party cool is Art Deco Historic District/Miami Beach

I went to Norrebro last month. It just seemed like the rest of Copenhagen, so not sure what makes it uniquely cool.

I wound up going to Kadikoy by luck one time and really loved it (I finished my daily itinerary early so thought it'd be fun to catch a random ferry leaving the Golden Horn. Wound up in Kadikoy).
