Every borough has a Broadway. Queens has two Broadways (some say it has 3, but I think it only has 2). Only Manhattan and the Bronx share a Broadway, the rest are distinct.
Every borough has a Main Street, although only the one in Queens is major. The one in the Bronx is especially obscure.
It is possible that every borough has a Park Avenue, although we're not sure if the one in Queens really exists. You can argue that the Park Avenues in Manhattan and the Bronx are the same street, but there is no way to drive directly from one to the other.
Believe it or not, I do not think there is any numbered street or avenue that exists in all 5 boroughs. 3rd Avenue would be the only major one to exist in as many as 4 boroughs. However, the Bronx does have a very obscure set of numbered avenues just north of the Throgs Neck Bridge, which is also where Main Street it. Looking at the map (and I don't know if it's even accurate), the only numbered avenues I see in that area are 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th. That means that the Bronx has 2 completely unrelated 3rd Avenues. It would also mean that 1st Ave, 3rd Ave, 4th Ave, 5th Ave, 7th Ave, 9th Ave, 11th Ave, and 12th Ave exist in 4 boroughs. Even 13th Ave, if you count the very obscure 13th Ave in Manhattan.
The only section of Staten Island with numbered streets that actually exist is New Dorp. Looking at the map, it seems that exist are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. Those would also be examples of streets existing in 4 out of the 5 boroughs, if you don't consider the "East" and "West" to be essential parts of Manhattan street names. There are no numbered streets (prefixed or not) that exist in both Brooklyn and the Bronx. The highest street number in Brooklyn is 101st St, and the lowest in the Bronx is (East) 132nd Street. It's also interesting that in the Bronx, West 233rd Street and East 233rd Street are nowhere near each other, even though both of them either cross (West 233) or have a ramp from (East 233) the Major Deegan.
