Spring St Northwest
"Close to Georgia Tech and great restaurants!"
Check out all the restaurants, activities, events and culture that is flourishing in Five Points Atlanta on Spring Street Northwest. There is always something to do and new restaurants to explore. Please your palate at places like Nan Thai Fine Dining and Dolce Enoteca Y Ristorante. You can also stay at the Four Seasons or catch a game at nearby Bobby Dodd Stadium. Spring Street Northwest is rich with tradition, historic landmarks and many of Atlanta's attractions.
Memorial Dr Southeast
"There is a little bit of everything on Memorial Drive SE"
Memorial Drive Southeast runs east to west through the city and through a variety of Atlanta's distinct neighborhoods. The east side is more residential and the west end is part of the bustling city. You can visit Atlanta's Historic Oakland Cemetery is on Memorial Drive Southeast or head into Downtown Atlanta's Five Points neighborhood. A popular destination on this street is the Atlantic Shopping Center where you can dance the night away to Hip Hop and Reggae at Esso Night Club.
Peachtree Center Ave Northeast
"Great place to book a hotel in Atlanta or go out for drinks"
Running parallel to Atlanta's infamous Peachtree Street, Peachtree Center Avenue is right in the middle of midtown Atlanta. You can find restaurants like the Hard Rock Cafe and elegant hotel restaurants and bars with outdoor patio seating. The Ritz Carlton's Lumen is a pretty popular lounge area on this street. It's a great street to find a nice upscale eatery or stay while visiting Atlanta. Peachtree Center Avenue also leads into Peachtree St NE near Emory Univeristy Hospital.
Mansfield Ave Northeast
"Great entertainment, but not so great bums!"
This street is located near the funky and chic Little Five Points area of Atlanta. The streets has a few coffee shops and fast food restaurants frequented by local students and hipsters. The neighborhood is pretty safe and clean during the day, but it gets a little ghetto at night. There is a new homeless community that likes to hang around in this area that visitors should be aware of.
Marietta St
"Never a dull moment on Marietta Street"
Marietta Street runs north to south through the city. The north end is mostly a highway that runs alongside Georgia Tech. This south side is sprinkled with boutiques, hotels and restaurants like Spoon and Thrive. It’s always buzzing with excitement and never empty no matter how late or early it is. The street is traffic heavy and parking is very limited.
Western Ave Northwest
"The best of both worlds!"
Western Ave NW has the best of both worlds. The street is fairly quiet and tucked away to the west of the Northside Drive highway. The homes and apartments on this street are fairly new and the street is clean. The street looks like a typical Georgia suburb, but it's just minutes away from Georgia Tech, the aquarium and downtown Atlanta. The only negative is living so close to the highway.
2nd Ave
"Trendy Park West St near the San Diego Zoo"
2nd Ave runs through San Diego's Park West, Cortez and Core-Columbia neighborhoods. The northern park of 2nd Ave is close to attractions like the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park. The street ends at the Marston Mall Shopping Center. Victorian homes, sleek high rise buildings and businesses line trendy 2nd Ave.
F St
"Home to the Urban Art Trail"
F St is located in San Diego's hip East Village. It is home to young urban professionals, hipsters and San Diego's artist community. The Urban Art Trail runs along E and F streets. There are a lot of dive bars, cafes and lofts and studio apartments on F St. It's right in the downtown area and close to the Arts College International, New School of Architecture and Garfield High.

"Part of San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood"
I love visiting San Diego's Little Italy every time I am in town. There are so many stores and restaurants to try out. You can find antiques, visit art galleries, explore gift shops and check out the seasonal street festivals. Kids Trick or Treat in LIttle Italy each year and Mission Federal ArtWalk is held every year in April. I highly recommend checking out West Cedar Street if you're in town. It's a great place to live too. There are a few public parking lots in the area and renovated apartment complexes on West Cedar.

"Modern, clean and close to the beach!"
West A St is just south of San Diego's LIttle Italy. This street is lined with high rises and leads to the 163 Freeway and San Diego City College as it becomes A St. It ends right at the McClintock Plaza Shopping Center and doesn't go all the way through to the beach if you're heading west. It would be an ideal place to live because it's close to major shopping areas, restaurants, hotels and the Broadway Pier.

"Cool downtown street that is close to museums and the pier!"
West Ash Street runs parallel to Beech St and A St and ends at Harbor Drive. It is close to every Downtown convenience imaginable. It also runs through the McClintock Shopping Center and is in close proximity to some of the nicest downtown hotels. Union Station, the Maritime Museum and the Aircraft Carrier Museum are just a few attractions. The best part of West Ash Street is that it is close to the Broadway Pier. There is always something to do in this hip part of town.

"Gorgeous shopping village"
Station Village Way has this exciting energy about it. People spend their days shopping and strolling down this palm tree lined street. It is like a tiny oasis in San Diego. There are apartment complexes, restaurants like Wahoo's Fish Tacos and the Promenade Rio Vista all on this street. Station Village Way is home to the Rio Vista Station and it has a beautiful water fountain right in the center of everything.

"Right in the heart of San Diego's major attractions"
Hancock St is located right near the San Diego Sports Arena and a huge shopping plaza. It's a few minutes away from Seaworld and is accessible by the 5 freeway and the San Diego Old Town Amtrak station. The street isn't very attractive and there are a bunch of factories alongside it. There is affordable lodging nearby if you're visiting San Diego.

"Convenient location, but not much night life"
This major road is lined with apartment complexes, a Starbucks, hotels and a few chain restaurants. It leads into a shopping center past the 56 Freeway. It's easy top hop on the 56 and take a quick drive to Del Mar and it's beaches. The only negative is that the night life isn't really happening in this part of San Diego. There aren't that many cool clubs in this part of town.

"Residential street full of college students"
I wouldn't recommend this street unless you are a college student. A lot of UC San Diego students live in the apartment complexes on this street. The parking can get pretty crazy on the weekends. It's a great place to live if you want to be close to the campus and all of its perks. The beach, parks and the Underwater Park is nearby. There are a bunch of restaurants in the area and it's a pretty safe street.
Hillcrest Ave
"Very friendly neighbors and an awesome deli on the corner!"
The best thing about Hillcrest ave is that it is really close to all of the shops on Amboy Rd. Amboy is always busy, full of people and sometimes has bad traffic, but Hillcrest is so mellow and only gets busy when the elementary students go to school in the morning. I love Christina's Deli on the corner of Seely Ln and Hillcrest. It's such a random spot for a deli, but really convenient. I would always stop to buy a soda on my way to the the shops on Amboy. Hillcrest Ave has it all because it's close to the hustle and bustle, but yet it's almost hidden and peaceful.
Grantwood Ave
"Love the neighborhood, but the parkway can be a little scary at night."
The homes on Grantwood Ave are beautiful. They are simply gorgeous. I would almost say that this is the best street to live on in the South Shore except for one thing that makes this street a little unappealing. The intersection of Grantwood Ave and Drumgoole Rd just makes it less appealing. It's very scary to walk here at night and since it's right near the parkway, there is always litter here.
Loop Rd
"The street that circles around the College of Staten Island."
Loop Rd is this crazy loopy road around the College of Staten Island. It's between the college and Willowbrook Park. The drive is very pretty down this street. It is so green and lush. This street is a narrow two lane road that will take you to the college's parking lot and you can't really walk down this street.

"Great cafes and really close to the Ferry."
Benzinger Ave is pretty busy in the morning because of PS 31 near by on Layton Ave. It's pretty quiet during the day, but there is a lot of traffic in the area after school gets out. The neighborhood is pretty safe and PS 31 is a really great school. The street is on a huge hill and it's fun and dangerous to skate down here! This is a great street to live on because it is so close to the ferry and there are a bunch of great cafes and deli spots in the area. Fort Place Deli is one of the best spots to eat on the island and it's right around the corner.
Purdue St
"New beautiful homes right near the Staten Island Mall!"
Purdue Street has very nice looking duplexes on it. The lawns are all manicured and the people on this street are pretty friendly. One of the perks of living on Purdue Street is that it is located within walking distance to the Staten Island Mall. It's hard to find parking on this street, but there are tons of shops and things to do right around the corner on Richmond Hill. Dunkin Donuts is within walking distance too! You gotta love that.
Kelly Blvd
"Great street close to the Staten Island Mall. Nice and quiet."
Kelly Blvd is right smack in the middle of Staten Island. The homes on this street are beautiful and this street is right between three parks. The perks of living on Kelly Blvd is that the Staten Island mall is right around the corner and Healthy Body is right on this street. Healthy Body is a great chiropractor and the street is pretty quiet.
West Convention Way
"Busy and beautiful convention center street."
The Anaheim Convention Center has stunning architecture. This street is always full of people who are attending some sort of convention. The street is pretty clean, but Anaheim's homeless frequent this street because they like to score a freebie from convention promoters who pass out free T-shirts, drinks or food. I wouldn't walk down this street at night though since it's less busy and seems desolate.
Anaheim Blvd
"Huge indoor swapmeet on this street!"
This major street is always busy. You won't see too many pedestrians since everyone in California always drives. The street is pretty clean and runs through the safe areas of Anaheim. The Anaheim Marketplace is located on this street near Cerritos Ave. It's always busy and super crowded. You can spend a whole day at that indoor swapmeet. They also have carnivals and community events. This street is also near the 5 freeway and close to Disneyland.
Amsterdam Ave
"A very beautiful street that is home to Tavern On the Green."
Most people think the upper west side is quite boring, but there is a lot to do on this street. This street is in the middle of Amsterdam Ave and central park west. You can walk to Central Park in less than ten minutes and Tavern On the Green is right down the block. There are many luxurious apartment buildings on this street. They seem to be nicer the closer they are to Central Park. Nick and Toni's Cafe is on W 67th and they have the best thin crust chicken pizza! This street is very safe and a great place to live.
Canal St
"Cool street on the lower east side!"
The bars and clubs on the lower east side are the best places to party in New York City. There are a few haunts on Essex that are amazing. I highly recommend Mason Dixon at 133 Essex St. They have a mechanical bull! I would always stop on by the Essex Restaurant for brunch the morning after a night of partying to get something to eat. This street also bisects Canal St in Chinatown. There are so many places to see on this street, but my favorite part of Essex is between Delancey St and Rivington St.
University Pl
"NYU student housing close to Washington Square Park"
This street is the place to live if you go to NYU. My friend went to NYU and had an apartment on this street. This street runs between Washington Square Park and Union Square. You have the coolest shops, great pizza joints and interesting people in this area. This street is pretty safe, but I would walk with a friend at night because of park weirdos. There is always something happening on this street.
Stuyvesant Loop North
"A street in Stuyvesant Town!"
20th St Loop is part of Stuyvesant Town. The loop streets all share a park and the apartments in this complex are pretty spacious. I knew a few people who lived there and it a pretty cool place to live, but many residents complained about the rat issue that wasn't under control on this street. They are always doing construction on this street so it's really hard for the residents to park in their garages. This complex is very close to some cool bars and great shopping areas.
West 120 St
"Very close to Columbia University."
This street is very beautiful and full of Columbia University students. It can be a good and bad thing though. The neighborhood has seemed to lost it's Harlem charm, but there are a ton of places to dine and shop in this area. This apartments are gorgeous, the street is very safe and clean and there is always something to do.
Crosby St
"Cute little street in SoHo."
Crosby street is close to amazing food and shopping in Manhattan. You can walk down Crosby street and get to Chinatown or walk north and spend the day shopping in SoHo. The buildings are so cool on this street and you'll occasionally see some artsy or trendy kids having impromptu photo shoots on this street. The Crosby street hotel is set to open in a few months. Everyone in the neighborhood is making a big deal about it since it's going to be a really big green hotel. There are some awesome bars on Crosby and Spring St.
West 80 St
"Right next to Central Park West, Riverside Park and the Natural History Museum"
This street is just lovely. You can walk to the Riverside Park, Central Park West and the Natural History Museum within minutes. This street is very calm and quite past West End Ave. There are some really cute cafes in the area and you can catch the train at 79th St. The brownstones on this street are gorgeous and this upper west side street is full of friendly people. This street is a great place to live if you can afford it.

"This street isn't that nice near Queens Blvd."
50th St has a really cool park at 39th St intersection in Woodside. The brick apartment buildings are a pretty nice place to live. 50th St and Queens Blvd has some interesting architecture, but that side of this street isn't as nice. The streets are busier and dirtier, but the subway is close by so that's a plus if you're looking to move onto this street.
Queens Blvd
"This street goes half way through all of Queens."
Queens Blvd is a major road that will take you from the Queensboro Bridge and to La Guardia Airport. It goes half way across Queens to Jamaica. This street is easy to use as a guideline if you get lost. I usually spend most of my time on this street at the Queens Center mall. This street can get a little ghetto, but it depends on what neighborhood you're in.
Ditmars Blvd
"Awesome Greek culture and so close to the city."
Ditmars Blvd is just a twenty minute train ride away from all the cool parts of Manhattan. I like this block because of the good Greek food you can get in Astoria. West Queens is pretty much home to younger people who can't really afford to live in manhattan and immigrants. This street reflects that with the shops in the area. The apartments on this street are starting to get a little more expensive now that Astoria isn't as dangerous as it once was.
Vernon Blvd
"This Hunters Point street is improving!"
Hunters Point has a bad reputation for being very scary and pretty ghetto. This street is now improving and becoming trendy. It is only one train stop away from Manhattan and new blood is flocking to this street. New apartment renovations are making this street a premier block because of the river views. There are some really good restaurants on this street, but some areas can be a little industrial and unsafe to walk alone at night.
Northern Blvd
"Beautiful old historic homes!"
This street is full of huge homes and they are considered to be historic landmarks. This street looks very stylish and this is a great neighborhood to live in. It's a pretty safe street in that area. Further east is the Sunnyside Mall and this streets goes all through Queens to the water.
Junction Blvd
"Busy major street that"
This major road is always full of people waiting at the bus stops. This bus route is one of the most crowded routes in New York. I have always been smashed on this bus because so many people put their luggage everywhere on the bus while trying to get to La Guardia Airport. This street reminds me of parts of the Bronx because it’s a little dirty and the people are a little poor. The area is pretty safe though. You can catch the 7 train on this street or go shopping at the Rego Park Shopping Center.
Snediker Ave
"This street feels unsafe near Atlantic Avenue!"
Snediker Ave is really close to East NY Brooklyn and it just feels all sorts of unsafe. This street is quite long and the southern parts of it are okay. There are some low income housing projects in this area and I've seen a few shady people just hanging around. There is a homeless shelter on this street and some people are trying to rebuild their lives, but others just make it seem ghetto and scary.
nb1
Thank you for sharing this Steph. I have an interview scheduled tomorrow right at this location, and I'm reconsidering whether I want to be potentially going to such an unsafe neighborhood every single day.

"Cool industrial area with great bars and clubs"
Some of the best indie bands play shows and frequent this street because of the clubs and bars. I have seen Devendra Banhart at the East River Baron this street. The atmosphere is really chill and unpretentious and I think the weirder you are the most accepted you will be. This street can be a little scary at night. I suggest walking in groups in this area.

"Cute little shops pn this Williamsburg street."
Graham Ave is awesome and artsy. The neighborhood has so many cute little shops and is a new mecca for artsy hipster kids. This street always smells like food and Phoebe's café has some amazing drinks. Their food is so delicious and the regulars are always hanging out there. They have local art displayed inside and this street is easily accessible by train on Graham and Metropolitan Ave.

"A busy street next to Kings Plaza."
This street is a major road next to a large shopping plaza. Everyone comes here on the weekend for shopping and entertainment. The local movie theatre is very popular with the young 20s crowd on the weekends, but the street is full of annoying high school students on Friday nights. The apartment buildings around her are in pretty nice condition.
South 1st St
"Hipsters and locals unite on this street."
This street has a cool mixture of hipster kids and Cuban men sitting on their stoops. This street is now considered cool and indie and most of the locals have embraced it. The brick apartment buildings are pretty and there are a few latin meat markets and 99 cent stores on this street. There is still some tagging on the buildings, but it adds to the charm of this street.
West 37th St
"Awesome Coney Island atmosphere."
This street is crowded and busy in the summer time when people are trying to get to the beach or to Coney Island. You can smell the hotdogs and cotton candy in the air and you hear the Reggaeton music from the bumper card rides. The atmosphere on this street is amazing. People are just there to have a good time and you just feel happy on this street. I think it’s because they are relieved to finally get off the train from the long ride from the city.

"A great view of the Williamsburg Bridge!"
This street doesn’t have much going on and can be pretty scary to walk on late at night, but this is the best place to see the Williamsburg Bridge at night. It’s just relaxing to sit by east river and look at the city. Most of the buildings look old and industrial. There aren’t many pedestrians on this street, but it doesn’t seem too desolate since there are a few bars in the area.
Central Ave Southwest
"A street next to a huge shopping complex area and fun entertainment!"
This street is very nice and modern. The buildings are quite new and the streets are clean and well kept. There is usually traffic and a lot of people on this downtown street. Most of the people in this area are either students at Georgia State University or they are tourists and shoppers at Underground Atlanta. There is a huge church on Central Ave and Martin Luther King and a large parking complex for the Underground Atlanta.
Seminole Ave Northeast
"Time to shop in Little Five Points (L5P)!"
You can find just about anything when shopping in Little Five Points (L5P) in Atlanta. Shopping here is amazing because all types of people come here. You'll see everything from goths to hipster kids to bohemian chic girls. There are some really great thrift stores around here and this shopping area is always busy. The neighborhood is ghetto chic and this street is always jumping with action. Parking is pretty scarce and some streets are ghetto and look run down.
Juniper St Northeast
"Main midtown street with relaxing restaurants along the way."
I highly recommend taking a drive down Juniper St if visiting Atlanta. You just get this really great souther vibe from this street. You must stop by Einsteins' to have dinner outside under their large and relaxing trees. They even have dessert served in beakers over dry ice! It feels like you're eating at a friend's house. The street is always busy since it is a major artery for midtown. The only thing that isn't so great is all of the construction going on since they're building new apartment complexes.
Luckie St Northwest
"Great night life in Atlanta on this street!"
This street is pulsating with amazing energy on show nights at the Tabernacle. I just love the venue so much and have so many memories of seeing concerts there that I adore this street. You'll usually see a lot of concert goers lining up around the block or scalpers trying to sell their tickets on the street. Local radio station promoters also fill the streets and give out prizes to people in line. It's just chaos, but a lot of fun. This street is quite busy and full of traffic around the hotels in the area. There are mainly people from the ages of 18 to early 30s in this area.

"Very clean and quiet street in Atlanta"
I stayed at the Best Western Inn on this street and loved the location. This street is very clean and is so close to everything. This street is right in the middle of downtown Atlanta and the MARTA stops in this area. The best part about this street is that you are located within a five minute walk to really great diners and clubs. The aquarium is just around the corner and parks are also within walking distance.
Euclid Ave Northeast
"Very hip and trendy shopping area in Atlanta."
This street is part of Atlanta's Little Five Points shopping area. It's a funky and very cool street to visit. The cafes on this street are owned by really friendly people. You can spend an entire afternoon shopping on this one street. You can also take the MARTA to Little Five Points so you don't have to spend time circling the block to find parking. This is definitely one of Atlanta's highlights.

"Very busy main street and home to the famous Pinks Hot Dogs."
I frequent this street on my daily commute to Hollywood and always see a long line of people who come from all over the city who wait for over half an hour for a hot dog at Pinks Hot Dog on La Brea. The other famous landmark on this street is the La Brea tar pits on La Brea and Wilshire Blvd. The street smells like tar, but is a major tourist attraction and a frequent elementary school field trip location. This street is always busy and not all that clean, but it's decent compared to other parts of town.

"Great food and entertainment!"
If you want to see a bargain movie then check out Regency theatre on Fairfax and Melrose. You can watch some great indie and midnight movies for only $4 before 6 p.m. The theatre is right across the street from CBS. They film The Price is Right there and you'll always see a line of contestants waiting to get in. A little further down the street is Farmer's Market and The Grove. There is so much to do on Fairfax and you'll see the occasional tourist bus parked at Farmer's Market.

"A beautiful place to take a jog."
The Silver Lake Reservoir is right on this street and is an amazing place to take a jog. It's a really placid place in Los Angeles and the surrounding homes are quite beautiful. Silver Lake is a very eclectic area and this street winds around a cool dog park and takes you right to the heart of the clubs on Silver Lake Blvd and W Sunset Blvd. The Silver Lake Lounge has an interesting crowd and pretty cheap beers.

"A central street that was part of Route 66."
Figueroa St is very busy during the day and is full of film crews in the downtown L.A. area. There is always some filming happening on this street. I've stayed at the Marriott Hotel on Figueroa and 3rd St. There are just high rises and nothing to really do in that area since it's in the Financial District, but there are some great places to shop near Figueroa and 7th St. This street runs north and south through Los Angeles and goes all the way to Pasadena.

"Nice coffee shops, bars and clubs close to Hollywood."
This street is really close to the heart of Hollywood. There are cool record stores and clothing stores around this area. Many teens walk up and down this street to get to Amoeba Records to buy music. Celebrities frequent the coffee shops and clubs on this street. I've seen Hilary Duff walking on this street a few times. There is usually a lot of traffic in this area because of all of the shopping areas.

"A fairly clean street in Downtown L.A."
S Flower St is part of downtown L.A. and is quite busy during the week. It is usually deserted after 7 p.m. once everyone gets out of work. The street is pretty dead on the weekend since there are only businesses in this area. The shopping centers in this area are great, but sometimes the streets smell like urine because a few homeless hang out near the subway station exits on 7th and S Flower.
East 164th St
"Awesome skate park in the Bronx!"
The Mullaly Skate Park is right on River and E 164th St. This park is amazing and the street is really clean and beautiful. This park is accessible by taking the 4 or the 6 train to the Yankee Stadium/River Ave stop. There are park guards to make sure that everyone is wearing safety gear. This street is a local hangout for teens and kids who want to be skate pros.
River Ave
"Great sports bars after watching a game at the Yankee Stadium."
River Ave is right under the 4 train and is along the Yankee Stadium. It can be a little crazy to drive in this area when there is a game, but the spirit that fills these streets is priceless. There is a sports bar on E 158th and River Ave that is a great place to get some beers after the game. The best part of River Ave is riding the 4 train and passing by the Yankee Stadium on my way to work.
East 191st St
"A local hangout for Fordham University students"
Students are always hanging out at Pugsley Pizza on E 191st. The entrance to Fordham University is right on this street and so Pugsley is always bustling. The area is a little cleaner compared to some other places in the Bronx. There are more trees in this area and it's a pretty safe neighborhood.
East Fordham Rd
"A little run down, but a central shopping location."
Fordham Rd is a sight to behold. It is a little run down, but always very busy. There are men playing cards and gambling on top of boxes just like the movie. The stores on this street offer many discounts and deals. You can buy jeans for $7 and shirts for under $5. The streets might be a little dirty and grimy, but there is some charm to visiting here. I've heard many people say it's dangerous in that area, but I never had a problem shopping there and I couldn't deny a bargain. The new library is right around the corner and is worth the visit.
Valentine Ave
"Shopping areas and Poe Park"
Valentine is a bustling street and has many stores to shop from. The corner of Valentine and Fordham Road has a Dr. Jays and you'll see many street vendors and people selling bootleg DVDs in this area. There are also people selling socks and purses until the cops come. The northern part of Valentine leads to Poe Park. That museum is where Edgar Allan Poe lived and it is so tiny and neat to see in the middle of the Bronx.

"Run down apartments and scary at night"
E 196th street is lined with apartment buildings and is a little dirty. There are some scary alleyways that you don't want to cross late at night. It's a pretty safe street during the day, but it is a little sketchy after hours. There is a liquor store right on 196th and Jerome that is pretty busy all of the time. I would always stop by there for ice cream during the summer.
North Flower St
"Artsy and nice part of Santa Ana."
Some parts of Flower are really nice and the art culture there is like a breath of fresh air in this town. I like to visit the library on Flower St and hang out near the Civic Center area. Those parts of Flower St are worth visiting, but Flower and First gets a little sketchy.
East Edinger Ave
"Main road that leads to boring residential areas."
E Edinger Ave isn't much to boast about. I drive on it when I Exit off of the 5 and have passed Madison Park a few times, but there isn't much to do or see on that street. Most of the areas I drove through looked really ghetto, so beware when driving at night.
East 17th St
"A major street that leads to some nice shopping areas."
17th Street runs all the way across most of Santa Ana. I always go to the Coffee Bean on 17th street. My friend lives in the area and we walk there all the time. There are some good places to shop on this street and most major retailers like Target and T Mobile are on this street. Stop by Pacific Bagels for their onion bagel. It’s amazing!
West Walnut St
"Quiet, residential area where the High School is located."
The Santa Ana High School is located on West Walnut. Most of this street is residential before it reaches the high school and then turns into East Walnut. The street is pretty quiet besides the times that the students are going to school and leaving. The Flower Street Park is right across the street from the high school and is full of tennis courts.
North Broadway
"Old movie theaters and great architecture."
Broadway in Downtown Santa Ana is home to some really old movie houses. The first Orange County Courthouse is located on Civic Center and Broadway. The architecture is very art deco and the old theater buildings are really neat. I always take pictures of them when I’m in town. Some parts of Broadway are pretty residential and not much is going on there.
Mount Vernon Ave
"Really nice and new mall and shopping area!"
The only good thing about Mall View Rd is that it has the new East Hills Mall right on that street. It's pretty and well kept. It's lined with some pretty trees and the Walmart Supercenter is across the street on Mall View Rd and Fashion Pl. I've spend a lot of time on this street hitting up the store and trying to get a good deal. This is a pretty good sized mall and it has an awesome 3D Arcade and UA Theatre. The mall isn't that huge, but it's enough for a whole day of shopping.
H St
"Really cute downtown area to spend the day."
I instantly fell in love with this street the firs time I visited. H St between 19th and 20th is where the historic Fox Theater is. The theater reminds me old Pasadena, California. There are a few palm trees that line this street. A lot of big acts perform at the theater and check out the Spotlight Theatre & Cafe on H and 19th. It's really cute inside and the people who work there are really nice.
19th St
"One of my favorite parts of downtown Bakersfield!"
If you live in Bakersfield then you must check out Kosmos on 19th St! It's right on 19th and H. They have the best happy hour and some of the yummiest Greek food in town. You can't beat $1 beer and $2.50 for a long island iced tea! 19th St is also near Beach park on the west side and Central park near the 99 freeway.
California Ave
"Busy street and great for getting to shopping areas"
I love Java Detour on California Ave. It's a drive thru coffee hut right near Del Taco off of the 58 and 99 freeways. The Bakersfield Plaza is right on California Ave. You can get to Payless, Mervyns and drive all the way down it to the Stockdale Village for shopping as well.
Chester Ave
"Runs Right Through Bakersfield"
Chester Ave runs connects you all the way from some of the shadiest places in Bakersfield to some nicer areas. Take Chester Ave all the way north of downtown to the Kern County Museum for a cool afternoon. I love how Bakersfield has that old western feel to it as does most parts of Kern County.
14th St
"This is where all of the young people are at!"
G St is where all of the young people in Bakersfield are. That's because it's the street for Bakersfield High School. My cousins went there and I would always wait for them on this street. There's not much to do there and it's mostly residential. The Amtrak station is just a few blocks away from the school too.
North College St
"Check out Spirit Square"
The one tourist attraction I visited while in Charlotte was the Spirit Square. It is on the intersection of College St and 7th St right near the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. I visited a few times to check out a few art galleries and attended the symphony on my last night in Charlotte. It was a great experience and showed me another side to Charlotte. I spent most of my time shopping or hitting up bars so this was a great change of pace.
East Trade St
"Right in the middle of town"
E Trade St is home to a lot of good eats and a lot of people in their 20s and 30s hang out around here. It's pretty packed on the weekends and people are always bar hopping in this area. Check out Howl at the Moon while here. I stayed with my friends while in Charlotte and they said it was their favorite local spot. It's a really cool piano bar and all the college kids in town are frequent visitors.
East 7th St
"Spent the day walking around and drinking at Dixie's Tavern"
I spent a whole day on 7th street just walking around and stopped by Dixie's Tavern to get a drink. I had ask a few locals for a great bar and they said Dixie's had good deals. They were right! Dixie's is right near the train tracks so I thought it was going to be a little ghetto, but I had a great time. I went on a Friday night and the place was packed. E 7th is also right near a bunch of bars on N Tryon and they are all within walking distance of each other.
West 5th St
"Busy City Street in Charlotte"
I spent a lot of time on W 5th St while visiting in Charlotte. I would always exit onto it when I got off the 77 freeway and would drive it all the way down to N Poplar to get to the library. I would always pass a little cemetery there and parked to take a visit. W 5th also goes near the Johnson Smith University and I had to drive down it to take a few friends to class.
North Graham St
"Great place of soul food in uptown Charlotte"
I had some soul food on N Graham street with a few friends. We ate at Simmons Soul Food and just drove around the area after we ate. The road is very quiet and pretty the closer it is to town, but it winds up and gets sort of creepy since it's right around the corner from a huge cemetery.
North Poplar St
"Amazing architecture in a busy area."
I love the buildings on this road. There are beautiful brick buildings you would only find on the east coast. I was strolling down N Poplar when I got lost. I stopped by a park on this street and just took a few pictures. I later found out that I was at Fourth Ward Park and I highly recommend stopping by here to just relax after shopping in the area. There is also a Bank of America on this road.
North Tryon St
"Fun for the whole day!"
Anyone who visits Charlotte needs to stop by N Tryon St. It's such a beautiful street and has really great restaurant's to take a date. I always went to the Charlotte public library on this street and would wander around after reading a good book. You can just park in one of the public lots and just walk around for some great food and scenic sight seeing.
Fairview Rd
"Mall Madness Shopping Area"
Fairview Rd is a fairly busy street for Charlotte. Just beware of the crazy mall traffic near the South Park Mall. It can get really busy, but I love the stores in this mall. You can shop at Tiffany's and Nordstrom here! There are some really good places to eat around here too.
Seward Pl
"Quiet street with lovely homes."
I visited a friend and stayed at her house on this street. The houses are very pretty and the street is just full of large trees. This is a very quiet street and all of the yards are neatly manicured. There are no sidewalks down this road and it is an upper middle class suburban area.
H St
"Pretty hotels close to the Amtrak Station"
There isn't that much exciting action going on at the part of H St I visited. I stayed at the Best Western right next to the Amtrak station. I had an early train and didn't want to miss it. The station is clean and isn't scary so that's a plus. There are some really good places to eat closer to the 5 freeway.
West Land Park Dr
"Visit the zoo and take a break from the city."
The Sacramento Zoo is right on W Land Park Drive. It only costs $9 to get in and there is so much to do there. They neighborhoods in this area are very quiet and beautiful. I recommend going to the zoo to get away from the whole downtown vibe if you feel like you need a change of pace. Very lush, green old trees are everywhere. It's very serene.
19th St
"Hip neighborhood, good food & art"
19th St is nestled in a really cool neighborhood that is in walking distance of the Freemont park, the Center For Contemporary Art and cute cafes are lined up all around this area. I saw a lot of 20 somethings around here. It's right near the amtrak train tracks so it can get a little annoying if you live around here.
K St
"Take the Trolly on K Street!"
Riding on the trolly on K street was really fun! I got on after I watched an IMAX movie and rode it through the mall. Check out the shopping area around here and unwind with a fun ride. The convention center is right around the corner and so is the California State Capitol. You'll run into a ton of tourists in this area, but it's still a fun experience.
Capitol Ave
"Friendly neighborhood with beautiful scenery"
I love the palm trees that line Capitol Ave. The houses on this street are just gorgeous and I can't wait to one day afford one! I stayed with a friend on this street and we ate dinner at Paesanos almost every night that I was there. They have fabulous pizza. State Capitol Park is also right down the street.
I St
"Busy area, beautiful architecture that reminds me of the east coast."
I spent a lot of time on I St because I went to the library everyday for a few weeks. I just fell in love with the way the street was lit with pretty lamp posts and lush trees just lined the street. It reminded me of the east coast because there are so many cabs in this area and the architecture of these buildings is quite different than southern California. There are so many embellished details and it's a really pretty area. I highly recommend taking a walk around here.
P St
"Theatre buffs hang around here."
Really cool architecture on P St. Check out the Thistle Dew Dessert Theatre and Art Gallery while there. It looks like an old victorian house and you can check out plays there. There are very cute cafes in this area. and a lot of my artsy friends like to hang out around this midtown street.
J St
"Main busy street with so much to do."
Check out J street for shopping, great places to eat and that funky downtown vibe. It's always busy and full of people. There's a farmers market at the park on J st and 10th from 11 to 2 every Wednesday. A lot of people come out to buy fresh produce and there is a great community vibe. I stayed at the Sheraton on this street and never ran out of things to see or do.
3rd St
"Cute street, friendly neighbors and close to everything!"
I stayed with my friend in her apartment on this street for almost a month. She lived right next to Crocker Park and we would always walk down to the corner of 3rd and Q St to get some coffee at Chocolate Fish Coffee. I loved walking around this area because there are so many trees! I love the scenery and everything is so close by. You can get to the mall in less than ten minutes and the water is a few blocks away.
Front St
"Scenic waterfront street. Great for romantic evenings!"
I took a stroll down front street after visiting the Towe auto museum. It was a nice romantic evening and walking by the water is always relaxing. There are tons of local shops here in Old Sacramento. I grabbed some yogurt and just checked out the really old buildings. It feels so small town walking around here. It would be a really cute place to take a date.

"A little ghetto, but great people!"
The Grand Concourse is pretty dreary, but I love how it runs all through the Bronx and it helps me find where I need to go. Check out the Grand Concourse and Fordham Rd for the best pizza ever! Slices are only $1 and soda is only $.75 a can. You can get a filling meal for less than 2 bucks. I love the Bronx and it isn't as bad as everyone says it is.
Prince St
"Let's go shopping!!!"
Shopping in Soho is an experience. Some stores are ridiculously overpriced, but others have really good deals. I bought a cute purse and hat here for only $20. Check out the thai food around here. It’s delicious! I recommend Peep at 177 Prince St. The décor is so cool and the people are really friendly.
West 42nd St
"Great for people watching"
Check out the Central Library on 42nd St. This is my favorite library in the whole wide world. I like to make a whole day of it when I go to this library. I come here to relax and write. If I need a breather I can always go outside and hang out in Bryant Park. I like how easily accessible it is from the subway and walking distance to Times Square. There are some really good eats here too!
Grand St
"Quirky fun bars and people!"
Williamsburg is known for being home to hipsters. I enjoy coming here to check out cool indie bands. Check out Art Land because the wait-staff is friendly and not pretentious. I think it's such a quirky neighborhood. You can see old Cuban men sitting on their stoops and hipster kids walking around. It's such a funny sight to see.
Washington Sq South
"Washington Square is full of weirdos, but I love the NYU library"
I do love the pretty arch over Washington Square Park and I remember seeing Ricki Lake here asking people questions for her show. It's full of weirdos and street performers, but I love this street because of NYU's Elmer Holmes Bobst Library right on 70 Washington Sq. They have a large collection and I went right after two students had committed suicide there.
5th Ave
"5th Avenue has it all!"
You must visit the The Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Ave! The Met is so gorgeous! I don't really enjoy the ritzy shops on 5th Ave, but I do enjoy the museums and heading all the way down to New York Public Library near Bryant Park. There is so much to see and do on this street.
West 72 St
"Cute apartments and great dining!"
I stayed in a hostel in this area and I just loved waking up each morning. Strolling along 72nd St and having chocolate chip pancakes in the diners made me want to live here! It's so close to Riverside Drive so you can stroll to the water or stroll in the other direction and hang out in Central Park.
Columbus Cir
"Great place to shop and relax"
I love to go shopping at the Time Warner Center. Every time I go to NYC I always stop by this shopping center when I have to go to the bathroom and I'm hanging out in Central Park. I always shop and then lay out in the park afterwards. It's a great place to take pictures since the Time Warner Center is such a beautiful building.
Bleecker St
"Great place to grab a drink"
I like coming to Bleecker St to go out for a night on the town. The thought of all of the cool bands that played on Bleecker because of CBGB's always brings me back, but it's a little sad that CBGB's is closed down now. Check out the music shops in this area and go to a few bars. You'll love the vibe here.
Midtown
"Loving Times Square & Broadway Shows"
I always love going to Times Square on Broadway. I enjoy going here in the early morning when the people are busy bustling about to get their day started. I can be a bit frustrating trying to get through here when you're in a hurry and then have a tourist just stop in front of you to take a picture. Coming here at night is a whole other experience. The lights from the neon signs make it look magical. There is so much going on here it's like sensory overload.
