Nestled in Herald Square at the intersection of Broadway, Avenue of the Americas and 34th Street, Macy's flagship New York store opened in 1902 setting trends from the beginning with the first modern day escalators in New York City.

Over the years, Macy's Herald Square continued to set the standard for retail outlets in New York and evolved into America's largest department store occupying one city block with eleven levels of fashion for men, women, children and the home.

Macy's Herald Square offers visitors unique small group shopping experiences including a Breakfast Fashion Show, Cosmetics Master Class and consultations with personal shoppers. International visitors can sign up for a "Macy's International Savings Card" at the Herald Square Visitor's Center entitling them to 10% all purchases in all Macy's stores for 30 days.

More than just a department store, Macy's has become synonymous holiday celebrations in New York throughout the year. Ever year, Macy's Herald Square welcomes spring with its annual Flower Show with flowering cherry trees, 10 specialty gardens, flamingo topiary centrepieces, and flowers of every colour and variety imaginable on display throughout the store. On the 4th of July, Macy's celebrates Independence Day with a breathtaking fireworks display on the Hudson or East River that is not to be missed. For more than 80 years, Thanksgiving morning has been reserved to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and its world-famous gigantic balloons. For an authentic New York experience, head up to Central Park West by the American Museum of Natural History on Thanksgiving Eve and watch Snoopy, Kermit, Spiderman and the rest character balloons come to life. At the end of every parade, Santa Claus is welcomed to his home in Santaland at Macy's Herald Square to kick off holiday shopping season.

Macy's Reviews

Rated 4.4 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating I had a great shopping experience at Macy’s Herald Square. The store is huge, well-organized, and has an incredible selection of clothing, accessories, and brands all in one place. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The location is iconic, clean, and easy to navigate despite how large it is. Whether you’re shopping for everyday items, gifts, or something special, this Macy’s truly has it all. I always enjoy coming here and will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

5 Star Rating Wow this was amazing! I never been in to a Macy’s like this it’s truly one of a kind. The staff were very nice and it beautifully decorated. I loved the Santa land and walking around the market on the lower floor. The wood escalators were so cool. We went into the fancy dress area and they have such a massive selection. Beautiful dresses!

5 Star Rating The store is enormous — you can easily spend hours exploring all the floors, brands, and departments. It feels like a mix of classic New York charm and a modern shopping experience, with everything from high-end fashion to everyday essentials. The building itself is beautiful and full of history, which adds to the experience. The selection is amazing, the displays are well organized, and it’s easy to find something for every style and budget. I really appreciated how helpful the staff was — friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to point us in the right direction, even with the store being so busy. Whether you’re shopping, browsing, or just wanting to experience one of NYC’s most famous landmarks, Macy’s is absolutely worth the visit. A must-see stop in Manhattan and definitely a place I’d return to!

3 Star Rating Macy’s remains a familiar name in U.S. retail, offering a broad assortment — from clothing and shoes to home goods and accessories — all under a single roof. For many shoppers, the variety is still appealing: you can find basics, seasonal sales, and sometimes good deals if you dig around. When things go right, people enjoy the convenience and the broad selection.  However, for a growing number of users, especially those ordering online, Macy’s in 2024–2025 has become increasingly hit-or-miss. On review platforms, a majority of feedback skew negative: common complaints include late shipments (or no shipment at all), canceled orders, and poor or unhelpful customer service.  Some buyers describe repeated frustrations: items that never arrive, returns that go unacknowledged, billing glitches, or being told an item is in stock only to receive cancellation after payment.  Others say the quality of certain products — especially third-party items or discount-line merchandise — feels cheap, and much less reliable than what Macy’s used to offer.  Moreover, customers report a decline in in-store experience as well: staff can be unresponsive, fitting rooms or checkout areas feel neglected, and some say the store atmosphere is less polished than in the past.  That said, there are occasional reminders of what Macy’s used to be: some buyers still mention smooth online orders with timely delivery and acceptable product quality.  But those seem fewer and farther between nowadays. In summary: Macy’s still has potential if you’re hunting for variety or occasional deals, but the consistency — especially online — seems much less reliable than in earlier years. If you value dependable shipping, high-quality items, and responsive customer service, you might find better results elsewhere.
