NYC: Broadway since it

runs the whole length of manhattan and then some,
provides an alternative to the grid in midtown,
hosts parades every once in a while (though it no longer hosts Macy's),
hits four important squares (Times, Herald, Madison, Union), a circle (Columbus), and some smaller odds and ends,
takes us to the Lincoln Center for amusement and the New York-Presbyterian Hospital for less amusement,
connects the island to the mainland (Broadway Bridge),
goes atop several subway lines and under several buses,
cuts through complex of universities, colleges, and seminaries in upper Manhattan,
and perhaps most famously, lends its name and plays host to theater shows.

On a whole other level there's Bedford in Williamsburg, Brooklyn which is very popular with a very small subset of people.

I would have to say that Brady Street is probably the most well known street in Milwaukee. During its hippie heyday, it was dubbed the "Haight-Ashbury of the Midwest."

Atlanta:

Peachtree Rd. It's basically the "spine" of the city.

In Dallas right now it's Knox-Henderson - mostly the Henderson side. This almost merges with Lower Greenville, another popular street.

Also big 'scenes' on Main Street, Cedar Springs and McKinney Avenue.

Harrisburg, Illinois
Commercial Street/poplar Street, and the intersection of the two is always packed. It's the heart of downtown. Other's are Main, Sloan, Small, and Granger Streets.

Default Its proper name...

..is "Massachusetts Avenue", but commonly abbreviated to "Mass Ave".

People rarely say the word "Masachusetts".

In Los Angeles, Hollywood Blvd is definately the most popular with tourists. Typical of LA, I'm not sure you could pick any one street for the locals since the city is so massive and decentralized.

For my old hometown of Columbus, OH... High St (Rte 23) was definately the most popular with visitors and locals alike.
