Which of these 4 well known entertainment streets is best?
Consider the 4 streets on their own merits.
Don't take into consideration any other nearby entertaiment streets or entertainment districts.
Not sure how this would not be Bourbon Street in New Orleans by any measure... Maybe a better question is which of these streets are the 2nd best known...
Bourbon St. I love Austin but NOLA is in a different tier when it comes to night life. It strikes way above its league. Austin is great but is still very much a young generation night life scene. NOLA is more touristic and catered to a wide array of people.
Haven’t been to Nashville or Memphis so can’t put those in the mix but out of Austin and New Orleans I prefer Austin 6th Street. I think New Orleans has a better overall nightlife but anytime I visit New Orleans I avoid Bourbon like the plague. Not a fan of heavy tourist crowds and dirty streets. Bad enough it’s too many drunks but you throw in that mix and I’m good. I much prefer Frenchmen st.
For me Bourbon St. is the most everything. It's not my favorite part of NOLA but it's intense and I've partied there a few times.
I've done Broadway in Nashville and 6th Street in Austin for one night each, only, although been to both a number of other times during the day. They are night and day difference (literally lol) while French Quarter can be very lively during the day.

The question is "best", not "best known". "Best" would be up to personal interpretation. We don't drink, so Bourbon St. in New Orleans holds zero interest with my wife and me. We would much rather be on Beale St. or Lower Broadway.
