MADISON AVENUE SHOPPING

Madison Avenue is home to some of the most extravagant shops in the entire world. Approximately 150 luxury designer clothing boutiques, jewelers and hair salons call the glitzy avenue their home including Ralph Lauren, Baccarat, Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang, Mulberry, Giorgio Armani, Jimmy Choo and Christian Loubotin. Madison Avenue's advantages is Fifth Avenue's higher profile, which keeps crowds at bay. Named after Madison Square, which was named in the honor of former President James Madison, this historical avenue embraces the diversity of New York by maintaining lots of character and enchantment. Most of the shopping on Madison Avenue is located between 57th and 80th Street. That is just a short hop from the Salisbury Hotel!

Take a look at this brilliant map that shows the businesses along Madison Avenue. If you get hungry, try Fred's that is located at Barneys department store (660 Madison Avenue at 60th St.). They're open for lunch, dinner, and cocktails daily with brunch on weekends. Or on your way back to the Salisbury Hotel stop by The Plaza Food Hall that we have mentioned previously on our blog post about the "Best Food Markets in NYC".
