It’s chic boutiques. It’s grand dining. It’s the conviction that "money spends.” It’s Fifth Avenue, and it’s one of the world’s most famous drags.

Madison Avenue

Address: New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Tony, chic, posh ... The mere mentioning of Madison Avenue brings these adjectives to mind, and for good reason: Upper Madison, from around 42nd Street all the way up to the mid-90s, is famed as one of the world's most luxurious shopping districts. What will you find there? Name it. Fifty or so blocks of primo real...

Lower East Side

Address: New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

While many neighborhoods merely claim to have their fingers on NYC's fashion pulse, the Lower East Side is the city's heart and soul when it comes to determining what's cool.

Chelsea Gallery District

Address: New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Chelsea's far west side, roughly 13th through 29th Street between 9th and 11th Avenue, has emerged as one of the city's true hotspots for finding contemporary art. Indeed, “name" galleries like John Connelly Presents, Priska C. Juschka Fine Art, David Zwirner and Sonnabend combine to give the District cutting edge...

Hell's Kitchen (Clinton)

Address: 8th Ave, Between 34th and 59th St, New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

The rectangular section of Midtown West has a colorful history. But then, what else would you expect from a neighborhood called Hell's Kitchen? Years ago, these blocks were linked to the New York underworld, and it wasn't uncommon for rival gangs to find themselves at odds (think "West Side Story"). Aside from all of...

SoHo

Address: New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

One of Manhattan's youngest "neighborhoods," SoHo was named for the area south of Houston (pronounced house-ton) Street. A casual stroll through the neighborhood reveals endless rows of cast-iron columns, winding cobblestone streets, and seemingly-abandoned warehouses. Travelers discover quickly that despite its...

NoLIta

Address: Mott St, New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Once upon a time, these blocks of Mulberry, Mott and Elizabeth were essentially extensions of Little Italy, but today the area north of Broome has assumed an identity all its own. Gone are the days of the mom-n-pop grocery or neighborhood cobbler – these have been replaced by newer, hipper boutique shops. Indeed, if...

Chinatown

Address: New York, NY

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )

Bounded loosely by TriBeCa to the west, Canal Street to the north, and City Hall to the south, Chinatown is the Big Apple's most famous ethnic neighborhood. Its sights and sounds are easily identifiable: conversations in Chinese; ubiquitous red decorations and pagoda-styled buildings; signs depicting Chinese...
