Places to see in USA: FIFTH AVENUE

Fifth Avenue is the famous shopping area. It abides several boutiques worth watching but a bit expensive too.

This place is a pure example of rich and aristocratic New York.

West Broadway downtown has more elaborate shopping material but only for those who have extra money in their pockets or have flair to shop.

Most of the people visit this place to just window shop which is in no way worthless for the tourists to have a look into such an extravagant place.  It is located at the center of borough of Manhattan.

Apart from the major places to see like Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, Chinatown, Brooklyn Bridge etc there are numerous other attractions within  the city which surely prove an extra boon to the tourists.
