Macy's Herald Square, Department store in Midtown Manhattan, United States
Macy's Herald Square is a department store spanning ten floors that occupies a full city block between 34th and 35th Streets at Herald Square in Midtown Manhattan. The building offers retail floors dedicated to clothing, accessories, home goods, and other merchandise accessible through escalators and elevators.
The building was developed starting in 1901 when merchant Rowland Hussey Macy acquired the site and commissioned Theodore de Lemos to design the structure. Later expansions added more floors and retail space until the store reached its current size.
During the holidays, window displays along the street side feature scenes that draw visitors who line up to peer inside. This tradition marks the start of winter season for many local families who return each year to see what new installations appear.
Visitors will find an information center on the mezzanine level that assists with orientation and shipping questions. Multiple restaurants and cafes on different floors offer places to rest between shopping rounds.
The annual Thanksgiving parade concludes right at the entrance, making the store the centerpiece of a nationwide television event. The wooden escalators inside are among the last working examples of their kind in any American retail setting.
