Madison Avenue, New York, New York

4/5Good

“You thought you were well dressed...”

...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...Full review

Mott Street, New York, New York

4/5Good

“Eat and grocery shop...”

...so you can go home and eat some more. Seriously, if Chinatown had a "restaurant district," I would say Mott St. is it. Check out Harmony Palace (Mott and Canal) for a good place to bring out of tow...Full review

5th Avenue, New York, New York

5/5Excellent

“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 10...Full review

E 14th Street, New York, New York

5/5Excellent

“14th Street rocks.”

If I were living in Manhattan (I live in distant Brooklyn), I would want to live as close as possible to 14th Street. You've got Union Square, which is arguably the New York park with the most New Yor...Full review

E 23rd Street, New York, New York

4/5Good

“Prime space for real New York living”

Madison Square Park, anyone? Great place to chill, especially if you live nearby. A bit smaller than the further downtown Union Square, but nice to admire the view of the Flatiron. Seriously, you just...Full review

E 59th Street, New York, New York

4/5Good

“Sweet shopping to be had”

Three places: H&M, Bloomingdales, and Urban Outfitters, within very close proximity to the train station. Sure, they're big retailers you could find elsewhere but I have to say that I think the st...Full review

Canal Street, New York, New York

2/5Poor

“Props for being friendly to visitors while remaining authent...”

Perhaps the ONLY street in New York that I think is great for visitors and locals. Tourists love to gawk at the crappy merchandise on stands and go home with stories about going to the backs of stalls...Full review

W 34th Street, New York, New York

2/5Poor

“Ugh, another tourist trap.”

NOTICE: locals do not shop at Herald Square! They just don't. The place is full of tourists and really sketchy characters that have no shame when it comes to hitting on you. The Macy's here is unorgan...Full review

E 94th Street, New York, New York

4/5Good

“Better towards 5th Avenue, obviously”

The apartments between Madison and 5th are seriously beautiful. Lots of stoops that teenage girls from Hunter love to smoke on. They're not that annoying as long as you tell them to pick up their butt...Full review

Broadway, New York, New York

4/5Good

“Full of tourists, like an outdoor mall”

The main Broadway is usually full of tourists. Not just in the theater district, but extending all the way to the Soho area. However, the shopping does get pretty sweet when you hit downtown. The secr...Full review
