Fifth Avenue
New York's most famous shopping avenue, with flagship stores, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Rockefeller Center lining the street.
Fifth Avenue runs the length of Manhattan. Its prime shopping stretch runs between 49th and 60th Streets, home to the Tiffany flagship, Apple's glass-cube Fifth Avenue store, the Saks department store, the FAO Schwarz toy store, and many luxury brands. Along the way are St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, and the Plaza Hotel. During the holiday season, the themed window displays of the big department stores are a highlight. Head north past 82nd Street and you reach Museum Mile, lined with the Met, the Guggenheim, and other museums. Subway: E/M to 5 Av/53 St, or N/R/W to 5 Av/59 St.
