Macy's New York is the world's largest department store
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.

Shopping!!!!
I'm so amazed by Macy's. Feels so grand entering into such a posh, well lighted and clean area.
Once you enter, you'll be surrounded by luxury bags and beauty products.
Lots of stuffs are on discount and if you are a member of Macy's, you'll get additional discounts.
It was a quite difficult to locate men's area.
Look at the wooden escalator.. pretty scary yet fun to ride on them.
Anyway, so nice to shop in a cold environment. Wasn't crowded cos the place is just huge and you won't bump into people.

Very fun to visit this iconic store. Large selection of things you can shop and not everything is crazy expensive, we found some nice discounted products. The staff was very friendly even when you were just looking around and not intending to shop. They had working wifi and clean bathrooms. Overall I was most impressed with the historic wooden escalators, something I've never seen before, and the beautiful flowers displays at the entrance and throughout the store that they had on when I was there.

Macys was an absolutely phenomenal experience. I was very happy to meander through the store and look at the vast array of products available for purchase. The staff were very respectable. I highly recommend entering this establishment.

This is a huge store located closer to the Empire State Building around the Times Square area. As you enter the store, you will be amazed by the number of floors they have. No wonder they call this the biggest Macy's store. The collection is awesome, and we were able to find what we need. The prices are definitely balanced and also to meet the New York area. This staff is friendly and helpful. I see a lot of customers around 7:30 p.m. and it looks like a busy store. We are in need of any clothing. I would strongly recommend this place to get will priced clothing.

Probably the second most famous department store in the world (after Harrods) and it didn’t disappoint.
Beautiful floral displays in the front and all around the store. The famous wooden escalators are just as you’d imagine… wooden.
Along side the high end shops within Macy’s are also some ‘normal’ shops too, with our particular favourite being ‘it’s Sugar’
