"The Bridge Between East and West"

If you're in Midtown looking to switch from westside to eastside, you can have a nice stroll along Central Park's southern border by using this street. It's bookended by two huge landmarks -- Columbus Circle, a must-visit, on the west, and the giant Apple cube and FAO Schwarz on the east. The downsides are busy, busy people hurrying along rather thin sidewalks and the horse carriages, which are fun at first and then a little off-putting once you get a whiff of the smell.

"If you have money and are a tourist, you'll love it"

This street is a haven for tourists who have come to the city with plenty of money to spend. It not only houses some of the country’s most glitzy hotels (try the Plaza Hotel), but features a number of restaurants as well. The street is relatively busy with tourist and street traffic just about all of the time. It’s close to plenty of shopping on Fifth Ave as well.

"Living on the Ritz"

Fifth Avenue lets out on to this part of the park which is filled with fun street performers and lots of great things to see. I really enjoyed walking here with friends and not only seeing a troupe of breakdancers/magicians, but also a man dressed in the American flag. It was fantastic. It reminds even the saltiest of New Yorkers of all the fun that can be had in this city, especially when you're willing to have it. You'll find art, and even the Apple Store at this end, and the most expensive retail is all on 5th and Madison Avenue which are only minutes away.

This street is near to the N,R,W at 5th Avenue.

"You should really just walk in the park"

The south side of Central Park is full of over-priced restaurants and high-class high-volume stores. At the eastern end of the street, the Apple Store is essential visiting. As is FAO Schwarz, though both are prettier than they are good values. The hotels are gorgeous but pricy. The west end's Columbus Circle is fun for a bit, after one realizes that the mall is worthless.
