5th Ave, Harlem

5th Avenue is always really busy but never ugly. It's a rare New York street that hasn't really changed and has always been oozing of money. All of the high end, the beautiful, the very New York things seem to reside on 5th Avenue
5th Avenue at Central Park South / 59th has two New York Legends: The Sherry Netherland Hotel and Cipriani. The Sherry opened in 1927 and it is a gorgeous hotel designed by the same team as the Waldorf Astoria. Tons of people have stayed in / lived in this hotel throughout the years. Francis Ford Coppola lived there for so long, that it was Sofia Coppola's childhood home. Cipriani is the restaurant in the hotel and it has become symbolic of old money-ed New York power eating. I tend to think it has a bit of a Eurotrashy vibe but it's definitely still noteworthy.
Bergdorf and The Old Squibb building are right at 58th and Van Cleef and Louis Vuitton are at the other end of the block. 5th Avenue is the kind of high end shopping that you hear and see about in the movies. It is unreal how many crazy expensive stores line the blocks on 5th Avenue. I was blown away when I first moved here and saw the famous 5th Avenue. The Tiffany is at 57th and 5th is lovely to see just because it is a landmark. I'm not a huge fan of Tiffany Jewelry but I was interested to find that they were responsible for making the carat as the measurement of a diamond.
Even aside from stores, 5th Avenue has hotels and buildings that have become synonymous with wealth and opulence. The St Regis, Trump Tower, Peninsula, and the University Club are all within just a few blocks of each other on 5th. 5th is one of those rare Avenues that doesn't even really get that shifty around Midtown which is crazy considering it is directly in the middle of midtown. Weirdly, the only place that 5th gets boring or maybe not as attractive is downtown. For most avenues, they only start to get good downtown. 5th is the only Avenue that kind of does the opposite. It's really lackluster below the 20's. The buildings aren't great, there aren't any restaurants, etc. There's definitely still shopping all the way, but just not really much else. All in all, though, 5th Avenue is the quintessential New York Street, in my opinion.

5th Ave is the most expensive street in the world! It has an incredible amount of shops and retail stores. One can buy clothing from famous designers and popular brands. Besides shopping you can also find lots of prominent and interesting places to visit there, such as Empire State Building, Public NYC Libary, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Guggenheim Museum, Rockefeller Center and many others.

Without visiting 5th Avenue, you're missing out on a giant swath of New York. In midtown, 5th Ave is a bustling retail megacenter, home to huge attractions like FAO Schwarz and the Trump Tower. North of 59th St, 5th Ave traces the east border of Central Park, with museums (chief among them the Met) and gorgeous hotels along the way. If you're looking for a great walk where you can stumble upon some of New York's greatest experiences, take a walk down 5th.

Fifth Avenue is among the most famous places to shop in the world (read: Saks Fifth Avenue can of course be found here). A New York City icon (perhaps in part thanks to Truman Capote) is located on this street: Tiffany and Co. This is another street that caters to tourists – especially in the Midtown area, but not limited to that neighborhood, as the tourists seem to spill up into the Upper East Side as well.

Not since the 1980s and the Rubiks cube has a cube so captured the imagination as the entrance to the Apple Store in Fifth Avenue. Heading to an Apple store is likely to be a worthwhile trip anyway with gadget heads and technology lovers bound to be impressed but seeing the cube entrance in real life is breathtaking. It sums up the technology chasing status impact of the company perfectly and stands out in a street that is vibrant and at the heart of a great region. A sight worth seeing for those who aren’t square! And if that’s not enough, there is the Guggenheim Museum and the Empire States Building. Wow, how many architectural amazements can one street have?

There are too many things to do and see in 5th Avenue that is almost impossible to summarize them. Here is a quick overview of the major attractions: the MET, the Guggenheim Museum, Central Park, the New York City Public Library, the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and all its famous boutiques and shops. A nice place to spend time in warm days is the Madison Square Park. There is one of the best New York hot-dog stand: Be prepared to queue to eat one of its hot-dog.

5th Avenue is what makes New York what it is. Along the Avenue, which runs through most of the city, resident and visitors alike can find something to do. The Met is perhaps one of the most beautifully designed Museums in the entire city. After a nice day in the museum a stop in central park for a cold soda and some relaxation is always a great option. Visit in the spring for a truly vibrant and amazing atmosphere.

5th Avenue splits Manhattan into halves and runs all the way through most of the city. The real life is anywhere from around Flatiron in the low 20s streets to Central Park where you get the posher restaurants and retail options. I would also avoid the Times Square area if you truly want to know what Manhattan's about.

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 and do on this street.

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 get to midtown, you start coming across NY landmarks like the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. Further uptown, you can enjoy some of the finest museums in the world; The Metropolitan Museum and the Guggenheim are two of them.

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 section of 5th Avenue is also famous for its Museum Mile, containing, among other museums, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of the City of New York, and El Museo. It is also the home to many gorgeous brownstones and the consulates of several countries. Go down below 59th street, however, and suffer the commercialization - big F.A.O Schwartz and other flagship shopping stores that are attractive to tourists only. If shopping is your thing, however, you may find it heaven.

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. The only problem I have with this street is getteing there the traffic is horrible with not many inexpensive options for parking.

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 fifth avenue. It is also known for expensive shopping, comparing to Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles.

This place is best for Shopping and Dining. The main attraction at least for me is the American Girl Place.
If you'd like your little "American Girl" fan to have an experience that is wonderful and as non-commercial as possible, then I'd recommend booking tickets to the show in the theater (currently "Circle of Friends").
Overall a wonderful experience of shopping with girls.

Fifth Avenue is the heart of New York City, if not the most popular avenue there. Known for its popular branded shops and boutiques for the latest fashion, and the top-of-the-line restaurants, and the hippest residences in the city, how can it not be the place for anyone to be seen?

One of literally hundreds of parks in Manhattan, this is an absolute beauty to chill out during rush hour.. There’s a great bar to pick up a cold drink in summer and although I find it absurd that they close off the grass (no standing area) for the majority of the day, when the grass area is open it’s a great spot to unwind.. They often have concerts and fashion shows here too.
