Why go
Macy’s has occupied 151 West 34th Street since 1902, expanding through the block between Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Its Herald Square façade and seasonal windows are Midtown landmarks, while surviving wooden escalators preserve a tactile piece of early department-store engineering inside.
What you will find
Women’s and men’s fashion, shoes, handbags, cosmetics, jewellery, watches, children’s goods, toys and extensive home departments fill numerous floors. The official directory identifies departments precisely, from beauty on the main level to furniture, housewares, mattresses and rugs higher in the building.
Before you go
Personal stylists, alterations, jewellery repair, a gift registry and a mezzanine visitor centre add practical services. Several cafés, food counters and a sixth-floor restaurant support a long visit, and the visitor centre offers short historical tours that explain how the store grew around Herald Square over successive generations.
