The Garment District - NYC - Fashion Avenue (7th)

I love cloth! I could spend my entire day walking inside of warehouses full of tons of bolts of cloth. The Garment Districut is located in New York City by Sixth and Eighth Avenues and 34th and 40th Streets and produces most of the country's clothes. It is located in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea.

Others limit the boundaries as being 42nd Street to the north, Fifth Avenue to the east, 34th Street to the south, and Ninth Avenue to the west.
