Seven city streets worth a trip on their own

Main Street in Greenville SC is one of their selections:

Main Street, Greenville, S.C.
For lots of action within a short one-mile distance, visitors can find 100+ local restaurants as well as boutiques and attractions within one square mile of Main Street. A typical stroll might look like this: artisanal tasting at Dark Corner Distillery or aerial view cocktail at Sip Rooftop Bar, local shopping at Llyn Strong jewelers and J.Britt Boutique, a show at Peace Center for the Performing Arts, and a meal at Soby's New South Cuisine. Don’t miss live music on the Roost’s nation in NOMA Square (Thursdays and Fridays in spring and summer), For some urban nature, Falls Park on the Reedy is lined with twinkling light-adorned trees and features trails and the Liberty Bridge overlooking local waterfalls. Afterward continue down Main to the West End for highlights like the Fenway-inspired Fluor Field, the Baija Flor denim salon, the woman-focused Pedal Chic cycle shop, and art offerings like the Mice of Main public mice sculptures and street art at Art Crossing near Falls Park.

Hey, you might want to be more of a homer, you aren't boosting nearly hard enough.

Downtown Greenville is really cool. For a small-mid sized city, I'm not sure there are too many Main Streets/Downtowns that can compete with the combination of shops, restaurants, park space, and street activity that Greenvillle has. There are cities 3X it's size that can only wish they had a retail presence like it. Is it worth an extended drive out of one's way? Honestly, I wouldn't plan a vacation solely around any of these places. But, I'm not sure there's any street I would solely plan a vacation around, except possibly The Strip in Vegas, and even then, I would want to venture elsewhere.

Greenville seems like it would be a nice place to live, and a great weekend trip for those from Atlanta and Charlotte, which, while they in their own ways have more activity, Greenville has a nicer feel to it's downtown than either of theirs.

Haven't been to any of the others, even Frenchmen Street (even though I spent 4-5 days in NOLA).

main street in napa sounds really cool, I have alot fo friends in the bay area and have always wanted to take a trip to that wine country area, I just assumed it would be alot of wine tours and not much else to do. sounds really cool. even a blue note jazz club

main Street, Napa, Calif.

"In this world-class wine region's downtown, Main Street features everything you need for a well-rounded trip. Take a walk on the scenic Napa Riverfront, pair a two-Michelin Star chef meal with river views on Ninebark’s third-floor rooftop patio, see a performance at the Napa Valley Opera House (with its soon-to-open Blue Note jazz club in the basement), or get a wine-inspired treatment like a “Grape Love Body Polish” or an “Antioxidant Facial” — both infused with crushed grape seeds — at The Spa at Napa River Inn. Of course, wine tasting is a must, with a Main Street favorite being Vintage Sweet Shoppe for their chocolate and wine pairings, like chili chocolate with zinfandel and lemon white chocolate with sauvignon blanc."

it think everything is going to be ok tho. feel free to plug Raleigh or other cities.

I knew that I would see an article like this praising Greenville's downtown after you and others were disparaging it in contrast with Charleston and Hampton Roads. This always happens for me.

Frenchmen is cool - but a whole trip around it? It's not long - maybe 3-4 blocks with several music venues.

2nd Ave in Seattle is a nice area, but not a particular stand out IMHO compared to the rest of the city. Seattle as a whole is pretty awesome, but I wouldn't label one street a must see.

Greenville is a nice but I would recommend the main streets of Brevard, Saluda, or Highlands.
