Time Out has released its first ever ranking of the World’s Best Cities for Food according to locals, with Naples taking the crown as the world’s food capital.  To compile the list, Time Out – the global brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city – surveyed thousands of people around the world about food in their city. Each city was ranked on how locals rated the quality and affordability of their food scene, and they were also asked about their favourite restaurants, must-try specialities and best-value dishes. Time Out editors included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects culinary cities globally.  Naples is a city with a diverse cuisine that celebrates simplicity, where land, sea and history meet. The city is, after all, the birthplace of pizza – you’ll find iterations of this staple dish all over the city – but offers so much more when it comes to culinary experiences. Locals named pizza a portafoglio the city’s best-value food, a grab-and-go folded slice that costs around €1 a pop. It’s not just pizza that Neapolitans love; there are also piping hot plates of pasta alla genovese, Neapolitan ragù or the sugar rush from ricotta-filled sfogliatella or rum-soaked babà. Unsurprisingly however, locals named pizza margherita – invented in Naples according to legend – as the city’s must-eat dish. Next on the list is Johannesburg, South Africa. While Cape Town might steal the limelight for its international cuis

High Street in Melbourne tops the third annual list of the Coolest Streets in the World, released today by Time Out, the global brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city.  Time Out’s list of the Coolest Streets in the World highlights some of the most must-visit streets, roads, avenues, plazas and boulevards in cities around the globe, where locals head for a guaranteed good time. To come up with the ranking, Time Out’s global network of local editors and writers nominated the Coolest Street in their city right now – based on their hyperlocal insights and expertise – factoring in food, drink, fun, art, culture, nightlife and community vibes; all the factors which Time Out believes make cities, and spots within them, great places to live in and visit.  Melbourne continues to rank highly in Time Out’s annual list of Coolest Streets: in 2022, Gertrude Street came second, and in 2021 Smith Street topped the list. Leah Glynn, Time Out Melbourne Editor explains why High Street is this year’s number one: “Melburnians are spoiled for choice when it comes to well-trodden thoroughfares that deliver on food, culture and fun (hello Chapel Street, Sydney Road and Smith Street, to name a few). But in 2024, we’re shining the spotlight on the major artery that flows through the inner-north ’burbs of Thornbury, Northcote and Preston: High Street. “It’s cool in all the ways you’d expect – epic restaurants, hidden bars, live music venues and boutique shops – but
