Shoppers (or window-shoppers) paradise......

31/08/2008 17:59:58 -07:00

For high-end shopping, there is no place like it. You can find all the designer stores here. Even if you can’t afford them, it is fun to see Hermes, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Christian Dior, just to name a few. You have to be buzzed in to some of them. From the 57th Street to the 80’s, we were in s...

You thought you were well dressed...

29/08/2008 21:49:43 -07:00

...until you saw the people on Madison Avenue. Actually, it's quite a humorous blend of couture, high/low contemporary, just plain low contemporary, and just plain clueless dressing. Skip the obvious places and go for Takashimaya (if you have the cash). Well, even if you don't have the cash, put on...

Shoppers paradise for rude people

25/08/2008 06:00:40 -07:00

A great strip to shop on, but most of the people who sell the high end stuff are very very rude. I'm not the most wealthiest person going around, but walking into a store i expect to be treated with respect.

Seek the back alleys in SOHO, much better shopping experience.

Im going to have to disagree on this one

03/08/2008 23:51:49 -07:00

I've been down Madison Avenue many many times, and while I do agree it's quite the spectacle in terms of shopping and someone what of a tourist trap, i think once you have done it once, you really get over it. Too much traffic hinders how nice it is as well.

The Mad Ave

08/07/2008 17:13:16 -07:00

This street is New York City. It is filled with all of the things people come here to see: fashion, restaraunts, and the gritty culture that defines this tiny island on the East Coast. It is completely PACKED with stores, restaraunts, and people, so I don't think it would be the best place to live.....

good god, I thought it was just advertising

16/05/2008 06:35:35 -07:00

It isn't. I heard about "Madison Ave advertising agencies" and I thought the place would be full of advertising people the way Wall St has a wall. I was very very wrong.

One block over from Park Pl. (Heh, like in Monopoly), it has some of the snazziest shops imaginable. My god, though, some of...

As good as it gets

Anyone who has ever been to this street knows that it has no rivals and certainly no equals. I love coming to NY and this street is a must on my 'to see' list everytime. The shopping is great and even if you can't afford any of the high end merchandise from the fabulous stores here, it is great to c...

On of my favorite Green Spaces in New York is Madison Square Park . It is the typical New York park with great landscaping, fountains, statues and people, people, people. It is easy to find it is bounded on east by Madison between 23rd and 27st. Another thing that makes this park so great is that it...

Great Window Shopping and People Watching

24/12/2007 16:24:57 -08:00

On, the avenue, Fifth Avenue. Goes the famous verse to the song EASTER PARADE. Fifth Avenue has always been known as one of the best streets in the world for shopping but it has become over run by not so chic big box stores. For fine shopping nothing beats a stroll up Madison Ave in the 60's and 70'...
