friday favorite: the shambles, york, united kingdom

Here's The Shambles, one of the most famousest streets in the UK and winner of Google Maps's first ever "Most Picturesque Street" contest. Oh, glorious narrowness. I die from charm.

The contest has inspired The Huffington Post to ask its US readers which street they think is America's most picturesque. I'm a big fan of Elfreth's Alley, Philadelphia.

Every Friday I'll post a favorite narrow street snapshot from somewhere around the world. Got a Friday favorite of your own? Send me your photos!
