BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) -- Park Slope's Fifth Avenue is one of the 30 coolest streets in the world, according to Time Out.
Taking the No.13 spot on the list, Fifth Avenue boasts a wide array of trendy restuarants, festivals, and shops. Time Out suggests checking out the longstanding Community Bookstore, one of Brooklyn's oldest bookstore which opened in 1971.
The Ripped Bodice, a newcomer to Fifth Avenue, is another option for booklovers who love love and romance. For those looking to grab a bite, Chela, another Fifth Avenue resident, serves up Mexican cuisine with creative takes on classic dishes.
Brooklyn’s first black and woman-owned cannabis dispensary also lives on Fifth Avenue. Matawana opened in a former Chase Bank and celebrated it's grand opening on Feb. 29 with much fanfare.
Other Brooklyn neighborhoods that were honored by Time Out as one of the coolest neighborhoods were Fort Greene and Ridgewood. Fort Greene cinched the No.15 spot in 2023 and Ridgewood claimed the No. 4 spot in 2022.
