Fifth Avenue has been called "The Miracle Mile of Windows." And this is not an exaggeration. Try walking down from St. Patrick's Cathedral up to Central Park, and you will be greeted with exquisite store windows on both sides of the street.

During Christmas, everyone raises the ante. From exquisite, the store windows become extraordinary, and can be considered as works of art on their own.

The list above are what you would have seen if you visited New York during the Christmas 2000 season.
