Park Avenue
Manhattan's moneyed boulevard
Park Avenue is a major thoroughfare in Manhattan, New York City, known for its luxury apartment buildings and corporate headquarters.
The name has become shorthand for wealth, privilege, and upper-class sophistication: a Park Avenue address, Park Avenue tastes.
The contrast between Park Avenue and ordinary life appears in expressions suggesting elite detachment from common concerns.
