In which New York City street is Burberry's first US flagship store located?

The story behind the answer

Burberry's first US flagship store was located on East 57th Street in New York City.

The store is at 9 East 57th Street, near Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, one of the city's most prestigious luxury-shopping districts. Burberry says the location first opened in 1978 and has remained an important American home for the British fashion house.

The address is easy to misidentify as Fifth Avenue because the store is marketed as Burberry's Fifth Avenue flagship and sits close to that famous avenue. However, its actual street address—and the canonical answer to the question—is East 57th Street. The distinction is between the broader retail destination and the street on which the entrance is located.

The flagship has been renovated and expanded over time. Its design traditionally combines British architectural references with Burberry's outerwear heritage, including trench coats, gabardine, archive advertising, and the brand's check motif. The store's long history reflects Burberry's early US expansion before its later network of American boutiques.
