The Midtown Book: 666 Fifth Avenue (originally the Tishman Building)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The Fifth Avenue frontage had two broad, unobstructed alleys, shown below, that penetrated deep into the building all the way back to the waterfall and the entrance to the elevator bank areas where the alleys were met by a through-block alley or galleria between 52nd and 53rd Streets. In the middle of the Fifth Avenue frontage, between the two alleys, was a rounded glass retail area that was been handsomely occupied by Alitalia. The notion that shoppers on Fifth Avenue can only discern things if they are very large is foolish, but even Rockefeller Center dared to damper with its landmark buildings's retail spaces and incredibly got the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission to agree to an enlargement of some of its windows in 1998. www.thecityreview.com /fifth666.html   (811 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Nation -- Demonstrators argue against law banning future Fifth Avenue parades NEW YORK –; A group of anti-war demonstrators has sued the city for the right to march along Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, arguing that a ban on new parades violates its First Amendment rights. The lawsuit, filed March 16, seeks to strike down a police department regulation adopted four years ago that denies any licenses for parades on the famed avenue that were not permitted before July 2001. Fifth Avenue – the route taken by suffragettes and Vietnam War protesters – is the site of multiple parades every year, including Puerto Rican Day, Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day. www.signonsandiego.com /news/nation/20050329-0259-brf-parade-law.html   (225 words)

Not all stars are welcome on NY's posh Fifth Avenue The part of Fifth that matters runs from 59th to 96th streets and is lined with 63 cooperative and five condominium buildings, Gaines says. The first slightly edgy, public figure to get approved for an apartment at 820 Fifth, considered to be the avenue's most exacting residence, was clothing mogul Tommy Hilfiger, in June 1999, Gaines says. Hilfiger's achievement was even more notable because while "Fifth Avenue residents are in love with fashion and being fashionable, they don't want people who actually work in that business to live next door to them," Gaines writes. www.azcentral.com /arizonarepublic/arizonaliving/articles/0706fifthavenue0706.html   (609 words)
