We stopped by here on our recent trip into New York City. The area, around Midtown, was a great place to shop. There are a lot of high-end stores here, and it is a good area to do some shopping. This is something that should not be missed on your trip to New York city.

The street where every major advertising agency in the world has an office. You can bet that many of the TV ads you have ever seen were created in this street.

good museums. Expensive but fun. It's become fashion alley. Less nyers but still worth the trip. Goes from the classy to the trashy. With artsy thrown in
