Fifth Avenue Stroll – Part Cinco

Read the full post »

In my series of 5th Avenue walks, I’ve strolled from Calle 4 up to CTM (aka Calle 46). Today, I head back south to cover Calle 4 south to the ferry dock area. This part of 5th Avenue is loaded with shopping — from the cheap and mass-manufactured to the unique and luxurious.

Fifth Avenue Stroll – Part Cuatro

Read the full post »

After a much too long hiatus (or was it a writer’s strike?), Walking About Playa is back baby! When I last left off, I was walking 5th Avenue north and had reached Calle 34. Today, I go further north to an area that many of you have probably not seen yet. This part of 5th Avenue has the same cobblestone paving but is still open to car traffic. With all the new restaurants, condos, hotels & stores opening up, it won’t be long before it too becomes pedestrian only.

A new sushi place, Tsuba, just opened up in the last few weeks.
