5th Avenue

5th Avenue

5th Avenue is a shopping street on the island of Manhattan in New York where the world’s biggest brands’ flagship stores are located. We became very familiar with the avenue, mainly for the reason that almost everyone in our group spent their freetime shopping, and 5th Avenue was the place for that. Also the majority of our sights were located on 5th Ave (Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, New York Public Library, Guggenheim, Columbus Day Parade and Central Park).

The stores located on 5th Ave vary from luxury brands (e.g. Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada) to cheap clothing stores (e.g. H&M). Due to this reason the passers-by were very dissimilar compared to each other. And of course the avenue was filled with tourists and their cameras from all corners of the world; either shopping recklessly or taking photos and staring up at the skyscapers.
