Not for New York as a whole, but just Brooklyn, my guess is Flatbush, but Fulton seems like a reasonable bet as well. There's also the formerly ritzy Eastern Parkway, but its heydays are probably long gone. Another contender might be Bedford for audiences outside of New York due to the popularity of Williamsburg and the Bedford 'L' stop in particular.
flatbush yes..fulton no....fulton runs through majority ghettos, east new york , brownsville, and bed stuy.
only parts of fulton that are really open to everyone is when it hits the western portion of bed stuy, Clinton hill, forte greene, and downtown.
eastern pkwy also is majority a ghetto once you drive past franklin except the jewish part. Not a place that deserves a famous title.
flatbush runs through ghettos also, but flatbush is more of a semi ghetto. But flatbush also creates 2 bridges. Manhattan bridge, and that bridge that takes you to the rockaways. It runs in and out of brooklyn in 1 direction, from top to bottom. It runs past kings plaza, a huge golf coarse, and goes through a base i believe?
goes past the new brooklyn nets staduim, as well as fulton mall, and flatbush is the strip seeing massive hi rise condos being built on it in the downtown section. Also goes through park slope, and it gets more sprawly once you get past nostrand ave.
flatbush is pretty much a mix of every type of way a brooklyn area can look.
Euclid Ave for Cleveland, used to be millionaires row. I believe John Rockefeller used to own a mansion on that street, but I'm not sure. Today though, Euclid Ave is ghetto, and most of the mansions are gone or abandoned. It's pretty sad what happened to it.
For tourists it's 5th Ave in the Gaslamp District downtown and the few surrounding blocks where San Diego has any semblance of feeling like a somewhat dense urban city, or Prospect St. in La Jolla where the vista from the tony shops of the village to the waves crashing into the stunningly beautiful cove area below just make you feel good about being alive.
For the locals (in the city) I would say it would be 30th street which transverses the uptown neighborhoods full of pubs and restaurants of South/North Park to Normal Heights. Enough so we actually have a monthly celebration of it, 30th on 30th 30th Street » San Diego's Restaurant Row
It's very fun to get your neighbors together and snag a MTS bus pass to see how many places you can partake in before your more responsible friends tell you to cool it.
