Street of Dreams (Broadway)

Dream Street (1921) was a film by D. W. Griffith, with the action taking place in London. “Street of Dreams” (1932) was a song by Victor Young, but no specific place is specified in the song’s lyrics. Broadway has been called a “street of dreams” since at least 1909, but Broadway columnist Walter Winchell began using “Street of Dreams” in the 1940s.
 
Wall Street has also been called the “Street of Dreams.”

April 1909, Everbody’s Magazine, pg. 541, col. 1:
He had come to hate New York; yet now, when he was perhaps to leave it, he felt the spell of the great town, its glamour, its magic, catch at his heart and make the regretful tears rise in his angry eyes. From the window of his hall-bedroom he watched the fantastic silhouette of great buildings thrown skyward against the pink flush of sunset, and later, along the great street of dreams and disappointments, he saw flash out the barbaric glitter of its electric jewels—the incredible, monstrous, lovely city seemed eager to display all her fascinations just when she was rejecting him.

Walking Down the
Street of Dreams
By ALVIN MOSES
NEW YORK—(ANP)—That vast metropolis known as New York City, has been rightly called the “melting pot of this sprawling nation.” The street running between 50th and 51st on Broadway, as well as 52nd street, strikes me as being a dream street for colored musicians, actors and entertainers.
