Fifth Avenue, Commercial avenue in Manhattan, United States

Fifth Avenue stretches from Washington Square Park to Harlem, dividing Manhattan into eastern and western sections through its north-south orientation.

The avenue emerged from the 1811 city planning grid, transforming from a residential street into a commercial destination following the Astor mansion construction in 1862.

Between 82nd and 105th Streets, Museum Mile hosts multiple institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum.

The section from 49th to 60th Street contains international luxury retailers, department stores, and flagship locations of major global brands.

The street numbering system of Manhattan changes at Fifth Avenue, with addresses increasing both eastward and westward from this central axis.
