Yongkang Street in Taipei has been listed as the fourth coolest street in the world in 2022 by global magazine Time Out, which described Yongkang Street as a one-of-a-kind location like no other in Taipei.

The magazine said, “The street is a mellow lane in the genteel Dongmen neighborhood packed with excellent restaurants, holes-in-the wall sizzling with traditional fried snacks, decadent dessert parlors, upmarket boutiques and historical tea rooms.”

It also praised the street for not embracing chain franchises, giving visitors the chance to purchase handmade items that are often unique.

友善讓你懂│解說:

位於台北市永康街被國際雜誌 Time Out,列為2022 年全球最酷的街道第四名,並稱永康街是台北獨一無二的地方。

Time Out雜誌指出,台北市永康街位於優雅的東門,是一條幽靜的小巷,到處都是美食一流的餐廳、供應傳統台灣小吃的小店、令人充滿罪惡感的甜點店、高檔次的精品店,甚至是保有所有傳統禮儀的茶室,歷史悠久。

該雜誌更稱讚,永康街以獨立小店為主,不特別擁抱連鎖商店,因此少了過度商業化的氣息,讓遊客有機會購買到獨特的手工製品。

輕鬆帶著走 │ 學習:

hole-in-the wall? 牆上的小洞?是什麼意思?可別以為這只是字面上的意思,hole-in-the wall 意思就是小商店、小餐館、狹小的房子,特別是指隱藏在巷內間、或是非常低調的好店,有點類似台語的「巷仔內」

  • It’s just a hole in the wall but the food is good. 雖說只是家小餐館,但食物還不錯。
