In the first index of its kind, CEOWorld magazine has ranked 50 cities from around the world to reveal the best places for street food-focused travellers.
The Street Food City Index 2019 placed Ho Chi Minh City in fourth ahead of Mumbai, which was fifth, while Rome ranked sixth, and Tel Aviv seventh. The top 10 was rounded out by Sydney, Mexico City and Portland.
