rainy street
Slick urban thoroughfare
A rainy street is a road or urban thoroughfare wet from rainfall—an image so common in film noir, photography, and nostalgic writing that the phrase has become something of a visual cliché.
The wet pavement reflecting streetlights and neon signs evokes mood, melancholy, or romance: She walked alone down the rainy street, collar turned up against the wind.
