Fifth Avenue has been the epicenter of shopping elegance in New York for some time. Located between 39th and 60th Streets, Fifth Avenue is a must for any fashion-focused tourist. Start spending at Saks Fifth Avenue and work your way up to the super-chic Bergdorf Goodman. There's a separate store exclusively for men across the street. Along the way, you'll find Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston, DeBeers, and Tiffany's where you can window shop to your heart's content. Don't miss St. Patrick's Cathedral, and other grand churches, which are side by side to retailers like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada, all featuring the finest goods in the world.
