Street Life Indicator
A measure of the health and vitality of any city is the availability of the stuff of everyday life for sale on the street. We tallied seven categories – food, drink, clothing, cultural and consumer goods, entertainment and opportunities for charity – that civilized cities offer on a popular outdoor street or square, without entering a single shop.

Carbing Up

Vancouver and Los Angeles are obsessed with health food to the detriment of any delectable carbs.
Havana lacks food, never mind a carbohydrate.
Toronto should consider a name change: perhaps Doughnutlandia, Crullerville or Timbittown?
Consider Amsterdam’s delicious sweet peanut sauce on frites: Was there ever a clearer sign of a city with reefer-induced munchies?
Europe, North America and South America all scored a top 5 carb in world snack cuisine, but the rice-centric Far East wasn’t part of our carbo elite.

Hey Good-looking

Despite our seasonal adjustment for the camouflage of winter clothing, the least attractive people were in wintry St. Petersburg; the most attractive in more scantily clad Mexico.
The beautiful people cover at least four continents; the ugly are mostly in the U.S.
Parisian chic is not a myth; they’re Europe’s most attractive people.
Attention, ladies: Toronto is our best-looking city in North America, and it has more hunks than babes.
Warning, ladies: San Francisco has more hunks than babes too, though they’re not all… available.
