St. Patrick’s Cathedral gives an old-school kick to the streams of high-fashion shops on Fifth Ave . Before or after the crowds gather on the avenue today for
the Easter Parade, walk around and discover that there’s more to this area than tourists and shopping.
ÊGive yourself a minute of peace with the tulips blooming at
Rockefeller Promenade. Even though the walk is crowded, Carla and Andrea Chimentom from Italy showed baby Emma just how to fi nd such a simple pleasure.
ËManeuver your way across the street to St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
This Gothic landmark is under renova-tion right now, and is almost always
tourist-heavy, but once inside, you’ll feel at peace . “I stop by here once every week or two to just take a breath,” says local Sam White. “It’s just a quiet place to put everything in perspective, whether you’re religious or not.”
ÌCostume jewelry store Gale Grant Ltd. (485 Madison Ave.) gives an
extra dose of sparkling beauty with no guilt for browsing. “We’re old-time retailers,” says owner Richard Gould. “We want everyone to be happy.” The family business has been around for 63 years, with Gould and his wife Paula running this storefront for a decade. Their jewelry, including their specialty clip earrings, range s from $25 to $250 .

ÍMichael Dimiceli opened Prime Burger in 1938 with his brother
and father, and has kept the goodies the same. Customers don’t mind waiting to sit in the unique chair-desk combos, even when there are open tables. Families come for the after-Mass favorite: the Prime Burger Deluxe : two burgers with fries for $11.50. It’s a meal Sarah Jessica Parker will vouch for — she’s a regular .
ÎUsually the happy hour menu isn’t top priority for restaurants. But
for McCormick & Schmick’s (1285 Sixth Ave.), it’s “a window into the rest of our menu,” according to general manager John Murray. The huge half-pound cheeseburger ($2.95) , the fresh peel -and-eat shrimp ($4.95), spinach and artichoke dip with pita chips ($1.95) and more prove happy hour “is not an
afterthought,” as Murray describes. Wash down that food with a vodka lemonade ($4.95), a bar favorite. Happy hour runs 3 to 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to closing time on weekdays, and 3 to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
ÏThe director of the international artist representative Eden Fine Art
(437 Madison Ave.) describes the gallery as “home to all that’s happy.” Guy Vardi adds that the criteria for this seven-year-old collection is cheerful art that is bright and colorful.
Ð It’s hard to mistake Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland (620
Fifth Ave.) for some other chocolate shop. The fl owers hung all over the shop from ceiling to fl oor aren’t just for spring — they are hung in Teuscher shops all across the globe. Those who stop in mostly go for the champagne truffl es($3 for one) .
ÑTh e Marrakech Chefs food truck, which offers Moroccan fare, is
stepping into the game late, but partners Ali Echchahid and Elmehdi Azzabi aren’t worried. Monday was their fi rst day at this location, and they plan on coming every week. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the truck serves fresh merguez sausage and kofta — that’s ground beef — sandwiches ($5.99) and platters ($7.99). Wash it all down with fresh mint tea ($2).
Ò Try to say the name without hearing a “gesundheit” back. TeaGschwend-
ner (610 Fifth Ave.) is a German shop that has shared the best teas from around the globe since 1973. This storefront’s been open since July. Store clerk Jenny Belin’s favorite is the T-bear’s Gummy Bear ($8.37 for 3½ ounces). The never-ending number of choices overwhelms most visitors, but Belin can help narrow down your options to fi gure out what your exact tastes are.
