Sadly, 5th Ave NYC and N Michigan Ave Chicago did not make the list. Does not make them bad. None in DC or Charlotte did either aye.

I'd love to visit all them world shopping destinations just as a tourist and not to shop. Shows there is a world out there then just our Great Country as if alone.....
Maybe you have to be older to know Rodeo Dr? No one says it is the Washington Mall mind you. It is just all stores.

I remember the name of San Francisco's main shopping high-end flagships street area as Union Square. I would expect less know that one then Rodeo Drive though. I have no idea what DC's shopping street or region is. Just LA's (Beverly Hills technically), SF's, NYC's, Chicago's and Philly's plus the high-end mall just outside of Philly called KOP.

You realize that most of the world aren't the elite that would dream about shopping about at Rodeo Dr? Ask an average person in Mongolia or Uzbekistan and I'm sure they're more aware of the US president which might make decisions that could impact foreign matters and Washington then they are about the luxurious shopping excursions of any of the famous destinations.

I guess Portuguese does, but the two foreign languages I speak fluently don't reference a country's government by its capital ("London" meaning the UK gov't, etc.). Just FYI.

I've seen references to all of those places overseas before. Plenty of brands use Malibu or Rodeo Drive. Seoul, South Korea has its own "Apgujeong Rodeo" subway station/neighborhood named after Rodeo Drive. I've seen "The Beverly Hills of <city>" used in overseas real estate adverts as well, this is often done in China (along with Manhattan references). There are numerous bars and restaurants in Tokyo called Beverly Hills and Malibu. And there's a condo complex in Singapore call Beverly Hill which is quite famous. These are just commonly-heard places you'll hear if you live overseas, at least in 1st world nations (or China).

As a kid growing up the only streets I works hear constantly are
5th Avenue
Wall Street
Broadway
Dowling st (London)
Champs-Élysées
Pennsylvania Ave
Bourbon

And to a lesser extent Michigan Avenue.
The few times I have heard Rodeo drive in the last 20 years has been on city data.

But make no mistake, Hollywood and Beverly Hills are universally known.
And to those who say they don't think the TV show Beverly Hillbillies are known internationally nowadays, that thing is still a very popular show internationally. That and Gilligan's island abs and I dream of Jeanie

I didn't know of Union Square in SF until I joined C-D... I confused it with Union Square subway stop in lower Manhattan.

You've never heard of Georgetown? Penn Quarter? There's high end indoor malls in the suburbs of every major metropolis. That's not what makes the city's shopping famous though.

No one cares about shopping districts anymore.
