Fifth Avenue borders Central Park, offering iconic views and prestigious addresses. It remains unchanged as "Fifth Avenue" due to its historical significance and economic importance, unlike other park-adjacent streets named after the park.
It serves as New York City's iconic parade route, hosting numerous cultural celebrations throughout the year, including the St. Patrick's Day Parade, the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival, the Puerto Rican Day Parade, the Columbus Day Parade, and the Veterans Day Parade.
