I'm not sure how to do a review on a single street, even one as exciting as Fifth Avenue. So, I'll make it easy on myself and list some of the attractions along 5th Ave, listed geographically as you head uptown from Lower Manhattan: Washington Square Park/NYU campus (5th Ave begins here) The Flatiron Building (between 22nd and 23rd near the intersection with Broadway) Madison Square Park (not to be confused with Madison Square Garden) The Empire State Building (on the left/west side b/w 33rd and 34th) The New York Public Library (left/west side b/w 40th 42nd) Rockefeller Center (left/west side b/w 48th and 52nd) Saint Thomas Church (left/west side b/w 53rd 54th) Museum of Modern Art (located behind St. Thomas') Trump Tower (right/east side on NE corner at 56th St) The Plaza Hotel (left/west side @ 58th St) Between 59th St and 110th street, 5th Ave runs along the east side of Central Park, one of the priciest neighborhoods in the world. Between 82nd and 105th, the street is officially designated "Museum Mile" and includes: The Metropolitan Museum of Art (in the Park b/w 80th 84th) Guggenheim Museum (right/east side @ 88th St) At 120th St in Harlem, 5th Ave is interrupted by Marcus Garvey Memorial park, and resumes on the other side of the park at 124th St. 125th St/Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd - Harlem's main cultural and economic artery. 5th Avenue ends at Harlem River Drive, overlooking the Harlem River and the Bronx. I listed only the MAJOR attractions along this stretch of urban boulevard. There's hundreds of little shops, boutiques, delis, restaurants, and smaller museums. Aside from Broadway, it is possibly the most important single street in New York City, and it's definitley worth your while to try to spend is much time on or around it as possible....just don't drive it yourself!

The size of the building in New York is a little overwhelming when you are not use to them. It is a fantastic place to see and meet people. There are people visiting from all over the world and the city has a wonderful International flavor. There are so many Museums, Monuments, the UN etc. to go and see, then there is Broadway, off Broadway and I could go on an on. It is a must to visit and stay awhile and go back again and again!

I like walking around all of Manhattan and can glaldly spend days doing so. 5th Avenue holds the Guggenheim Museum as a special attraction for me, as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. People-watching is great fun to do in a place like New York in general and Manhattan in particular. I've only passed the many shops in the area as most, if not all, are way beyond my means. It's interesting to look at what's on offer though. Spending time lounging in restaurants and bars is always a worth-while past-time.

Most of New York's most prominent attractions are located on this street - one of the most expensive in the world, living and shopping included. It is worth it to begin at Washington Square Park and follow it past the Empire State Building, the Library, Rock. Center, St. Patrick's, Central Park (Museum Mile) and into Harlem to get a perspective of New York's history and energy.

A must do part of Manhattan and a great walk, although don't expect to do it all in one day, if you start from the Upper East Side and the museums. Going South you will exit the Central Park area and get to the shopping part and can walk all the way downtown, but don't be ambitious and enjoy what you see along the way.
