Fifth Avenue is a major road through the center of Manhattan in New York City. It is lined with expensive park-view properties and historical mansions and is the address of choice for the very rich in New York City. Fifth Avenue is also the premier shopping street of New York City, between 34th and 59th Streets, on par with Oxford Street in London, and the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Fifth Avenue is one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with Paris, London, and Tokyo lease prices. The avenue originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and runs northwards through the heart of Midtown, passing along the eastern side of Central Park, through the Upper East Side and Harlem, and ends at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Fifth Avenue carries two way traffic north of 135th Street, and since the early 1960s, one way southbound traffic from 135th street to Washington Square Park. From 124th Street to 120th Street, Fifth Avenue is cut off by Marcus Garvey Park, with southbound traffic diverted around the park via Mount Morris Park West. Fifth Avenue forms the dividing line between eastern and western streets of the same number in Manhattan. For example, it separates East Fifty-ninth Street from West Fifty-ninth Street. Numbers on the street addresses increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue. Find a hotel
