I don't know if there's been another thread on the same topic, but I thought it would be interesting to see the differences and similarities between streets with the same name in different boroughs. I'll start:
Obviously, I'm using Staten Island examples because that's the borough I'm most familiar with, but you can use examples from the other boroughs (I guess you could use numbered streets if you want. For instance, West 37th Street, Manhattan vs. West 37th Street, Brooklyn).
W 205th street-Bronx; W 205th street, Manhattan
W 193rd street Bronx; W 193rd street Manhattan
Broadway in Bronx and Manhattan
Park Ave in Bronx and Manhattan
Third Ave in Bronx and Manhattan
Bainbridge Ave Bronx; Bainbridge Street Brooklyn
Quincy Ave Bronx Quincy Street Brooklyn
Post Rd Bronx Post Ave Manhattan
Also many numbered streets and in Queens and the Bronx street numbers reach the 250s and 260s. I actually thought 271 Street would be the highest number I'd ever see but when I was driving to Mt. Rainier I saw a few street numbers in the 300s.

There is a Broadway in in four of the five boroughs. Bronx has third avenue in Bronx Manhattan and in Brooklyn maybe in queens aswell.
What do you mean? There's one in all 5 boroughs. The one in Manhattan continues as the one in The Bronx, there's one in Brooklyn (Williamsburg/East Williamsburg/Bushwick), one in Queens (Jackson Heights/Woodside), and one in Staten Island (West Brighton).

Both are distressed.
Actually, people on Staten Island consider the SI one distressed. It kind of is, but not at the end I showed (the distressed end is by Richmond Terrace).
Come to think of it, both the Post Avenue in Manhattan and the one on SI are kind of distressed.

I don't know if Union and Lorimer in Brooklyn is actually a distressed area but it looks kinda bleak in the link.
