Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Lined with expensive park-view real estate and historical mansions, it is a symbol of wealthy New York. Between 34th Street and 59th Street, it is also one of the premier shopping streets in the world, on par with Oxford Street in London, the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Via Montenapoleone in Milan.

第五大道，是美國紐約市曼哈頓一條重要的南北向幹道，南起華盛頓廣場公園，北抵第138街。由於第五大道位於曼哈頓島的中心地帶，因此曼哈頓島上東西走向的街道有時會以這條街道為界而加以東西的稱呼。（例如第五大道以西的十街，就稱為西十街）。第五大道上景點眾多，由南至北有帝國大廈、紐約公共圖書館、洛克菲勒中心、聖帕特裡克教堂以及中央公園等。

It is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with Paris, London, and Tokyo lease prices: the "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and 57th Streets was ranked as having the world's second most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis after London's Sloane Street.

此外，由於中央公園附近有大都會博物館、惠特尼美術館、古根哈姆美術館、庫珀·休伊特設計博物館等著名的美術博物館等，因此被稱為「藝術館大道」（Museum Mile）。在60街到34街之間的第五大道，則被稱為「夢之街」，因為這裡聚集了許多著名的品牌商店，是高級購物場所。據英國一家諮詢公司對全球45個國家所做的年度調查顯示，第五大道仍是全球租金最貴的零售業場所。第五大道商鋪的年租金可超過每平方英尺1000美元（1平方米=10.764平方英尺）。

Fifth Avenue originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and runs northwards through the heart of Midtown, along the eastern side of Central Park, through the Upper East Side and Harlem, where it terminates at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Traffic crosses the river on the Madison Avenue Bridge.

Fifth Avenue is the dividing line for streets in Manhattan. It separates East Fifty-ninth Street from West Fifty-ninth Street. As the zero-numbering point for its street addresses, numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue, with 1 East Fifty-ninth Street on the corner at Fifth Avenue, and 300 East Fifty-ninth Street located three blocks to the east of it.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a 16.3-acre (61,000 m²) complex of buildings in New York City which serves as home for 12 arts organizations: Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Film Society of Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Juilliard School, Lincoln Center Theater, Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York City Opera, New York Philharmonic, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc..

林肯中心（Lincoln Center），全名為林肯表演藝術中心（Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts），是位於美國紐約市佔地 61,000 m² 的綜合藝術表演中心，總共有12個表演團體以此為駐紮地。林肯中心建於1960年代羅伯·摩斯所主導的都市更新（urban renewal）計劃時期，在約翰·洛克菲勒三世的資助下開始興建。它是美國境內第一個將主要的文藝機構集中於一地的表演中心，是全世界最大的藝術會場，總共可以同時容納 18,000 位觀眾，共耗資1億6千8百萬美金。座落於曼哈頓上西城的哥倫布、阿姆斯特丹大道及西第62、66大街的交界處。除了主建築外，林肯中心的設施也不斷地向外擴充。例如於2004年，在距林肯中心南方數條街的時代華納中心專供爵士樂表演的林肯中心爵士樂社（Jazz at Lincoln Center）就新設立了弗雷德里克·羅斯廳（Frederick P. Rose Hall）。

Central Park is a large public, urban park (843 acres, 3.41 km², 1.32 mi²; a rectangle 2.6 statute miles by 0.5 statute mile, or 4.1 km × 830 m) in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. With about twenty-five million visitors annually, Central Park is the most visited city park in The United States, and its appearance in many movies and television shows has made it famous.

中央公園（Central Park）是美國紐約市曼哈頓區大型的都市公園 (843英畝或3.41平方公里；長4公里、寬800公尺)，是常居於狹小單元的當地居民的一方綠洲。由於經常出現在電影和電視劇中，令它成為世界上最有名的城市公園。

公園北面為中央公園北街 (公園以西稱大教堂大道，以東稱110街), 東面為第五大道，南面是哥倫布圓形地及中央公園南街 (第五大街道以東稱59街), 西面為中央公園西街 (哥倫布圓形地以南稱第八大道)。 公園由後來開拓布魯克林Prospect Park的Frederick Law Olmsted和Calvert Vaux設計。看似天然的公園，其景觀實際上經過精心營造：內有數個人工湖、漫長的步行徑、兩個滑冰場、一個野生動物保護區、多處草地供各種體育愛好者使用，以及兒童遊樂場。由於吸引到候鳥前來，這裡也是觀鳥的好去處。長10公里的環園道路深受慢跑者、騎自行車者以及滾軸溜冰喜愛，尤其是在週末，以及晚上七時後禁止汽車通行的時候。
