I was thinking about my favorite cities the other day and for some reason thought of my favorite streets that I had ever been on. I thought about it for a few minutes and here are a few that I thought of:
- Michigan Avenue – Chicago, IL
- 5th Avenue – New York City, NY
- Las Vegas Boulevard – Las Vegas, NV
- Rodeo Drive – Beverly Hills, CA
- Newbury Street – Boston, MA
- State Street – Madison, WI
So, I ask you. If you had 4 hours to spend on one street in one city, what is your number one choice?
If for some reason it was raining or you couldn’t get there, what is your second choice?
I look forward to reading your comments.

I’m more about a “small town” feel with eclectic shops and local flair, so Franklin Street in Chapel Hill would be #1.
#2 Magazine Street in New Orleans. I love this part of New Orleans. So much charm and style and happiness.
I’ll give 6th Street in Austin TX 3rd place. I haven’t been, but i hear it has the small feel as Chapel Hill.

Riverside Drive, New York!

One of my favorites is not really a street, but it is part of the various canals and walkways that surround London and lead to the Thames estuary. Top on my list is Hampstead Road Locks in the borough of Camden. I have spent hours walking around these river ways, exploring various markets, shops and various London sights such as the London Zoo.
My 2nd would have to be Mulholland Drive in my home town of Los Angeles. This famous mountain top drive turns and winds from Hollywood out to Malibu, giving picture postcard views of downtown LA, Hollywood, the West Side, and the San Fernando Valley. If you want to understand LA culture and nature spend a lot of time on this famous drive.
