100% aware. I used to live in the New York area. 5th Avenue is not as nice, as well put together, or as clean as Michigan Avenue. Michigan Avenue is more comparable to Champs-Elysees than to 5th Avenue.

Just to point something out. You do have and I quote,"Dallas, the best city on earth" under your name. Sounds like you might have received the same program?

Much of the great shopping in New York is because of it's status as the one of the greed capitals of the world.

And I love New York, just being honest...
That's every city on the planet.

I'd put LA an inch below NYC. Do you know the number of Shopping venues the LA metro has? It's insane. I'd put it like this:

1.New York City

2.Los Angeles

3.Miami
4.SF
5.Chicago
6.Vegas

And what about all your high-end boutiques??? haha.
They aren't tiny little stores. Like i said NY caters to a much larger population, its not about the quantity but the quality, and other cities have the same quality stores as NY, I know NY has more quantity of shopping so there fore its the "best metro to shop" for the sake of this thread. I'm just pointing out that you can still get the same things in other cities, because you make it seem like you can't and that every other city besides NY is some hillbilly city, your ignorance is hilarious.

and the boutiques here are on park ave in Winter Park..

Unique Shops of Winter Park

No, you can't. There's a reason why Soho is one of the best shopping districts in the world. You don't see celebrities flying to Orlando just to go shopping, lol. People go to Orlando to go to Disney world; not to shop. Hilarious indeed.
