 Saks Fifth Avenue
 
Location: Fifth Ave., New York

Smack in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Fifth Avenue is without a doubt the city‘s most glamorous thoroughfare, chock full of chic stores and galleries. Landmark department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales and Macy‘s provide all of the usual upscale department stores. In addition you‘ll find the usual assortment of designer shops such as Gucci, Henri Bendel, Tiffany, Bergdorf Goodman, Steuben, Christian Dior and Versace.

During the holiday season, elaborate displays — doormen dressed as toy soldiers at FAO Schwarz, a 27-foot sparkling snowflake floating over the street outside Tiffany, the famous department store window dressings — make strolling Fifth Avenue a special treat.

Whatever time of year you go, try to avoid the urge to look up, up, up as it not only marks you as a tourist, but also makes it hard to avoid crashing into rushing locals.
