iconic street

Recognizable urban thoroughfare

An iconic street is a road or thoroughfare widely recognized as emblematic of a city, era, or cultural phenomenon.

Wall Street represents American finance, Abbey Road evokes the Beatles, and Bourbon Street conjures New Orleans nightlife.

The phrase often appears in tourism and real estate: the city's most iconic street, an iconic street lined with historic brownstones.
