Difference between Not in the same street and Up another street

not in the same street(coll.) not nearly so good as smth.; much inferior (also: not in the same league):

  • Although the fruit is sweet it’s not in the same street as an edible delicacy.

up another street—(coll.) quite another thing:

  • You want a few details…. That’s about what you want; but giving you the information is up another street.
