Time Out's 50 Coolest 'hoods

Which ones did they get wrong, right, and what did they miss?

I think they got Astoria, Queens wrong, with no offense to anyone who lives there. It's a nice place, vibrant, and affordable (for NYC), but it's not exactly "cool", IMO. Ridgewood is easily the coolest neighborhood in Queens right now, and if they wanted to opt for something less obvious, then I would say Flatbush or Prospect Lefferts Garden in Brooklyn.

I think they got Detroit's Corktown right. It's the city's cool kid neighborhood of the moment, with the right mix of urban decay and millennial attracting bars.
