Food, art, design, and vibe is what grabs stars like Ashley Benson, Henry Cavill, and Vanessa Hudgens.
A few of these streets are in stunning neighborhoods in places like Europe that aren't overrun with tourists. But others are extremely popular for a reason. And, luckily, they're quite easy to get to. Without further ado, here are the coolest streets in New Orleans, Rome, Tokyo, and other major cities, according to stars.
10 Vanessa Hudgens And Jessica Lowndes Love Frenchmen Street In New Orleans, Lousiana
Stars like Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt just love hanging around New Orleans' Bourbon Street, but it's not the central hub of some of the city's best attractions. Frenchmen Street, which is in the 7th Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana, is known for the three-block section in the heart of the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. It's home to some of the city's best live-music spots including Cafe Negril, Snug Harbor, The Spotted Cat, and the Blue Nile.

8 Raven-Symone Loves Main Street In The Magoneng District In Johannesburg, South Africa
The Magoneng district, located on the eastern edge of Joburg's central business district, is just about the coolest neighborhood around, at least Raven-Symone thinks so. In particular, the Arts on Main Street is the cultural hub of the hood. It's a multi-use facility that was once a series of dilapidated buildings that have since been renovated, connected, and turned into an assortment of galleries, shops, and cafes. It's here you can sample some truly authentic (and awesome) African cuisine and local produce.
7 Bella Hadid, The Weeknd Love Takeshita Street In The Harajuku District In Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo can be a sensory overload. That's part of its appeal. You could totally say that about Takeshita Street in the Harajuku District. Here are Bella Hadid and The Weeknd wandering the colorful street back in October 2016. The street is full of art and youth fashion. It's famous for having unique, quirky shops and is a cosplayer's dream. It's also connected to the leafy Omotesando Avenue, which continues this theme but adds trendy bars that are surrounded by lanes with dessert shops and carts that specialize in crepes, donuts, and bubble tea.
6 Ashley Benson And Camilla Belle Love Mulberry Street In Little Italy In New York, New York
New York has no shortage of unique and beloved streets that we could've put on this list. But we've chosen to stick with Mulberry Street in Little Italy as it's a favorite among celebrities such as Camilla Belle and Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson. Tourists also adore the main thoroughfare in Little Italy due to the shadowing tenement buildings which once were home to the main influx of Italian immigrants in the late 1800s. The street turns into a pedestrian mall flanked by some of the best restaurants and Italian shops around.
5 Ansel Elgort And Mindy Kaling Love Lombard Street In San Francisco, California
Lombard Street is one of the most famous on Earth, and certainly in San Francisco even though it's rich in extravagant and artsy neighborhoods. Mostly, the street is famous for the one-block section that runs down a very steep hill with eight hairpin turns. The street is a major tourist attraction and attracts about two million visitors per year and up to 17,000 per day on the busiest summer weekends. Here's Ansel Elgort wandering the street around the time that Mindy Kaling jumped in a GoCar and went down the twisty road.
4 Shenae Grimes And Emmy Rossum Love Water Street In Gastown, Vancouver, Canada
Water Street is the main avenue through Vancouver's beloved Gastown neighborhood. It's famous for its Victorian buildings, romantic lampposts, cobblestone/brick-laid streets, and that Steam Clock (for some reason). The vibe of the hood is palpable. The restaurants, including The Diamond, The Flying Pig, and The Pourhouse are some of the best in the entire city. In short, Water Street in Gastown is REALLY trendy but has the history and vibe to back it up. Stars like Shenae Grimes, Bob Saget, and Shameless' Emmy Rossum have all enjoyed wandering the street to check out the pubs, souvenir shops, cocktail lounges, and indie art galleries.
