Fifth Avenue is probably the most famous of New York's streets. Most expensive shops and the most of whatever people wish to make it! It is a great street It may have its beautiful parts, but it also has its not so great parts too.

Sting did a song called "Englishman in New York" which I believe is about Quentin Crisp. In the song he talks about walking down 5th Avenue so I was keen to check it out. The road stretches from the Upper East Side south through Midtown and onwards. There are a few swanky shops on the road including Bloomingdales and Saks. There is also St Patrick's Cathedral and Rockerfeller Plaza. Worth checking out on your visit to the city.

If you could walk down only one street in Manhattan, Fifth Avenue is arguably the most interesting one you will find especially between 34th and 59th Street. Beginning at 34th Street, you will find the Empire State Building. As you walk north, you will pass by or near the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, Grand Central Station and the Chrysler Building, St Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and end at Central Park. Fifth Avenue is also New York's shopping street where you will find all the high-end retailers such as Sak's Fifth Avenue, Tiffany's and Gucci to name just a few.

Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, I had lovely and great first impression of the hotel. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service in where we had dinner. Food was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. This was truly a place where you didn't need to leave the hotel.

Every time I walk down 5th Avenue, there's something new to see. This visit I was lucky enough to see the Fifth Avenue Blooms presentation of colorful floral sculpture offerings. The new Tiffany's looks splendid while St. Patrick's and Atlas still hold regal watch over passers by. A must do for anyone visiting. You'll be hooked, same as I was!
