Austin's East Eleventh named third coolest street in the world, according to Time Out

Sixth Street is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, but a recent list from Time Out is shining the spotlight on a different Austin street.

The publication named East Eleventh as the third coolest street in the world, topped only by High Street in Melbourne and Hollywood Road in Hong Kong.

The list included 30 streets from around the globe. According to Time Out, the rankings came after the publication's "global team of local expert editors and contributors... made a case for the coolest street in their city." Time Out then narrowed down these streets to just 30 picks.
