shopping street

Boutique-lined avenue

A shopping street is a road lined primarily with retail stores, restaurants, and commercial establishments rather than residences.

Most towns have at least one main shopping street where people browse, run errands, and socialize: The shopping street was packed on Saturday afternoon.

Some famous shopping streets—Oxford Street, the Champs-Élysées—become tourist destinations in their own right.
