Tom Petty got a lot of airplay around here with a song mentioning “Market Square.” Though Market Square Arena (where Elvis played his last concert) is no longer standing, Market Square is still there.
“Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue”
- The Boxer, Simon & Garfunkel
Movin’ Out, by Billy Joel tells of a Medical Center on Sullivan Street (across the street from a bar, or possibly a restaurant with full bar, called Mr. Cacciatore’s).

Here’s an obscure (by SDMB standards, I imagine) one.
“The Corner” - Common w/ Kanye West: mentions Stony and Cottage Grove - 2 notorious south side streets in Chicago (Stony is Stony Island).
Also…

A1A also gets a name check in Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.”
Staying in the state of Florida, Sheryl Crow incorrectly states that she “took the I-95 down to Pensacola” in “Maybe Angels.”

59th Street isn’t actually mentioned in the song; it’s just the title.
