Fifth Avenue

Downtown area with specialty shops, art galleries, boutiques, crafts shops and restaurants.

The 5th Avenue shopping area is a little higher end than the actual Old Town area...but not at all snooty. There is a greater variety of shops here, ranging from a very high end consignment shop to a cigar shop to some excellent Native American jewelry stores.
