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. tehre, and stratching up to well beyond Union Square, one can enjoy quite a leisurely stroll and stop to window shop or eat at some of the city's cutest cafes. It is quite typical, especially nearer to the park, to see young couples strolling arm in arm, accompanied by their furry companions. Many dogs enjoy the royal treament on 5th avenue, and this has thus spawned the opening of various doggy grooming locales! Living on 5th ave can be a bit noisy, but any of the adjacent sidestreets are a great way to live close to the city's most famous address!
