One of the most expensive shopping streets in the world, Fifth Avenue cuts through midtown Manhattan. The prestigious avenue often appears in films as the city's lap of luxury. In fact, the American Planning Association ranked the street as one of the greatest streets to visit in the United States. The street is a dividing line between east and west streets--something to keep in mind when you are looking for a specific address.
