5th Avenue has it all!

You must visit the The Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Ave! The Met is so gorgeous! I don't really enjoy the ritzy shops on 5th Ave, but I do enjoy the museums and heading all the way down to New York Public Library near Bryant Park. There is so much to see...

Even if you are not into the fabulous shopping at Lord and Taylor, Tiffany, Saks, Bergdorf’s, there are plenty of things to see. I love spending an entire Saturday just starting way downtown in Greenwich Village and seeing how far I can get. By the time you ge...

Very impressive indeed

There's something about Fifth Avenue. It's certainly stately, old, and historic, but it's also incontrovertibly part of the constant evolution that is New York. Start way uptown (I'm talking in the 100's) and hit the Museum of the City of New York and El Museo...

What more can be said about 5th ave that has not yet been said? OF course the great and grand shops near Central Park occupy a great part of this historic avenue. However, little ise ver said about the quiet start it enjoys as the Washington Square Park arch....

Famous Fifth Avenue

By Macsizzle on Jul 08, 2008
5/5
Fifth Avenue. The epitome of New York City shopping. Retailers compete to have their boutiques and brands placed on this mile of retail fantasy, and for good reason. This area is heavily trafficked and filled with people ALL the time!

Perhaps that's becaus...

Fifth Ave by the Flatiron Building

By jovnyc on May 12, 2008
5/5
I worked at this location for several years. The shopping on this street and surrounding areas is much preferable to the much more touristy and crowded 34th St. There is a Gap, Zara, Old Navy, H&M, TJ Maxx, Daffy's (although the 34th St. one is MUCH better),...

A beautiful street that suffers from commercialization.

5th Avenue is really two streets in one. Uptown from 59th street, 5th Avenue is a quiet, wide boulevard with many, many old and stately buildings. They are all constructed in similar elegant styles and can be quite nice to look at as you walk by. The Uptown se...

The Best Street in New York

5th Avenue is probably the liveliest street in New York City. Here you will find the most interesting people ever from a variety of backgrounds, expensive shops for great shopping, huge exciting billboards and ads, a beautiful park and delicious restaurants....

Starting at historic Washington square park, fifth avenue runs up along the east side of manhattan's central park. This is probably the most popular avenue in manhattan because so many of The city's fine museums are found along the upper east portion of fift...

Not like in the Movies

I have always dreamed of going to this street so that i could see Rockefeller Center , but the reality was far from my expectations. The cost (about 45 dollars for two people) was very high, but I figured it's famous, right?
Unfortunately, someone forgot to m...
