Fifth Avenue is a major avenue in the center of Manhattan. Lined with expensive park-view real estate and historical mansions, it is a symbol of wealthy New York. Between 34th and 59th St, it is also one of the premier shopping streets in the world. Fifth Avenue is the traditional route for many celebratory parades in New York City. The street originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and terminates at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Fifth Avenue is the dividing line for streets in Manhattan, separating East from West. Many landmarks and famous buildings are situated along Fifth Avenue in Midtown and the Upper East Side. In Midtown are the Empire State Building, the New York Public Library, Rockefeller Center, and Saint Patrick's Cathedral. The stretch of Fifth Avenue from 82nd Street to 105th Street has so many museums that it has acquired the nickname Museum Mile and includes such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
