Very spiffy. Which is supposed to be the "Market Street"? Grant or Liberty? Looks like Grant has the tallest buildings, but Liberty is more dense and has more tall buildings.
Public Square in Dwntwn Cleveland. The three tallest skyscrapers literally circle it, and it's the intersection of major routes that lead to the suburbs. They include:
Euclid Ave (US Route 20)- It goes straight through the hood and onto Lake County, eventually turning into Mentor Ave. You can technically take it all the way to Boston, Massachusetts.
Superior Ave/Detroit Ave (US Route 6)- Superior Ave takes you to the east side, once again going through the hood. Detroit Ave takes you west across the Cuyahoga River to Lakewood, eventually going all the way to Lorain County.
Ontario St (US Route 422)- Ontario St ends right across the freeway entrance, but turns into Orange Ave one way, and Broadway Ave on the other. Orange Ave takes you east (through the hood, of course), turning into Woodland Ave, which turns into Kinsman Rd, and then transitions into Chagrin Blvd, and after a while turns into Woodland Rd, and then goes back on Kinsman Rd, taking you all the way (and I mean ALL THE WAY) to the Pennsylvania border. Broadway Ave goes south to Summit County, turning into Ravenna Rd at the county line.

Liberty is probably as close as you get to a Market Street equivalent, in that it spans much of the city and primarily contains businesses. Forbes and Fifth are the main arteries in (Fifth) and out (Forbes) of town.
Downtown Pittsburgh has a gorgeous skyline (especially viewed from atop Mt. Washington), and there are some great fancy restaurants and a bit of higher-end retail, along with a symphony, playhouse, convention center, and multi-purpose arena (where the Penguins play). It's lacking in nightlife, however, and as a result, is resoundingly dead after dark, unless a major event is going on.
In New Orleans, it would have to be Canal Street. Packed at all times of the day and night, center of the city's transportation network, and home to the Shops at Canal Place (Saks, Brooks Brothers, among others), as well as for being the connecting street of the centre-ville between the CBD and the French Quarter.
