Fifth Avenue is considered the most expensive shopping street in the world.

If you’re visiting NYC for Thanksgiving with the hopes of experiencing famous holiday traditions, make a beeline for the breathtaking window displays on Fifth Avenue. The most popular shopping area in New York City, Fifth Avenue is marked by luxury brands vying for attention by way of stunning window displays. I do not use the term luxury lightly. Fifth Avenue is considered the most expensive shopping street in the world.
