They’ve been celebrated in movies, books and songs, and their very names evoke strong images in the minds of most Americans. Think Wall Street, and you think bankers and traders making millions. Rodeo Drive means movie stars on a shopping spree. Bourbon Street = all-night party. Obviously, a list of the most famous streets in the United States is subjective. Factors we’ve considered include such intangibles as the street’s name recognition, historic significance, political and economic importance and status as a tourist destination. Apologies in advance to New York City’s Fifth and Park avenues, Biscayne Boulevard, the Sunset Strip and all the other roads that didn’t make the cut.
