Top ways to experience Fifth Avenue
The area
Address
Neighborhood: Midtown
This is the iconic New York that so many visitors imagine before they visit—spectacular skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building, iconic public buildings like Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library, and the non-stop hustle and bustle of the city streets. Fifth Avenue is a shopper's heaven where you can find every kind of store imaginable, with fashion brands ranging from the affordable to the ultra-fancy. Visit the Rockefeller Center to experience towering Art Deco grandeur, and foodies will love the busy restaurants that stay open late in Koreatown. After dark, Midtown calms down a bit, but at any time of day or night it still feels 100% New York.

    World's most expensive shopping street
    Fifth Avenue is the most expensive shopping street in the world. Department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue are full of desirable, high fashion merchandise. You can walk down Fifth Avenue to satisfy your desire for titillation, even if all you want is to window shop. If you want some retail therapy, there are plenty of things to chose from.

    Spans Much of Manhattan
    I was on this important avenue several times during my visit. One day I visited the Museum of the City of New York way up at 95th St., the northernmost point of Museum Mile, a long stretch of swanky apartment building and amazing museums, all across from gorgeous Central Park. Midtown there are grand hotels and office buildings, also some very upscale shopping. And downtown I was in the northern part of Greenwich Village with NYU. So a lot to see. Once I was in a march and had the good fortune to walk down the center of the Avenue enjoying the splendid architecture.

    Every city has one but Fifth Avenue in NYC is iconic.
    Every city has one, wide streets, designer names but nothing is more iconic than Fifth Avenue. Even if you can't afford it then just walk and browse. Best is to start from Central Park and walk up.

    Fifth Avenue
    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.

    The Road In That Song
    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.

Fifth Avenue is infamous and where most of the parades run. St.Patrick’s Cathedral is a beautiful sight as is the Rockefeller Plaza. Long Avenue to explore.

Walking from 34th to 59th along 5th is a must-do experience in NYC. The Empire State Building, public library, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the famous stores such as Michael Kors, Tiffany's, Bergdorf Goodman, and many others can keep you busy for many hours,

If you are a shopper you are likely to find some treasures. The buildings are interesting and it's a safe area to wander.

Being Central NYC, made navigation of the city so easy! Awesome. You cannot get lost and access to the train stations were convenient
Great attractions and of course shopping
Nice for me was the more " quiet" feel.
