RECOMMENDED: The 31 coolest streets in the world in 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Each of the streets on the list boasts its own magic\u2014views, architectural gems, museums, boutiques and more. Orchard Street, an eight-block\u00a0stretch of the Lower East Side, is packed with fascinating shops, dining destinations and low-rise brick buildings.\u00a0New additions to the street\u2014like bookstore\/podcast studio P&T Knitwear<\/a>, photobooth museum AUTOPHOTO<\/a> and a seasonal Open Streets<\/a> program\u2014attract crowds who are met with a bevy of dining and drinking options along the way.<\/p>\n Perhaps most charming of all, the street still maintains its NYC authenticity and grit even as it changes. Old-school leather stores sit next to new galleries. Tattoo parlors abut fancy fragrance boutiques. Music\u00a0spills out of bars while restaurants drag tables into the street for al fresco dinners.\u00a0<\/p>\n The street offers a feast for the eyes\u2014and the stomach. Stroll from end to end on these eight blocks, and you\u2019ll be met with dozens of bars and restaurants to sate any cravings. A must on our list:\u00a0Scarr\u2019s Pizza<\/a>. This slice isn\u2019t just one of the best in NYC, it\u2019s also one of the best in the world<\/a> thanks to pizzaiolo Scarr Pimentel who mills his own grain, offering an airy base for your toppings. Don\u2019t worry, the line moves fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n For drinks, pull up a chair in the dimly lit, always creative Bar Contra<\/a> where the cocktail menu will keep your taste buds entertained. There\u2019s the Better Living, like a grapefruit creamsicle, and the Xipe Totec featuring a Nordic blend of herbs and citrus\u2014or try the supremely salty Saltair if you dare.<\/p>\n Those spots just scratch the surface of where you should be eating, drinking and hanging out on Orchard Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n To write about the Orchard Street\u00a0of today, we must\u00a0acknowledge the street\u2019s history. It was once packed with tenements where working-class immigrant, migrant and refugee families lived in often harrowing conditions. Today,\u00a0the Tenement Museum<\/a>\u00a0located on Orchard Street keeps their stories alive. As the museum says, \u201cTheir work helped build the city and nation, and their stories help us understand our history.\u201d It\u2019s always a must-visit but even more so today.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0Here\u2019s the full list of Time Out\u2019s 31 Coolest Streets in the World:<\/p>\n
