Macy’s on 34th is an iconic, great place to shop. There’s a lot to choose from just like most Macy’s stores I’ve visited but definitely has that NYC flair. It was busy as I had expected. Prices were on the high end as I expected. Many floors to check out. However, the ambience made this Macy’s hit a little different. The storefront is beautiful set up for you to relax for a minute and enjoy your afternoon. A band was setting up to play music. Of course there are fifty billion other places to shop all up and down 5th Avenue and the surrounding area, but Macy’s is another spot that if you’re gonna visit NY, make sure you stop through and enjoy the miracle and the moment. 😉 Did you catch that? Comment if you did.

Macy’s is more than just a department store—it’s an experience, especially if you’re visiting the Herald Square location in Manhattan. The store is massive, with multiple levels covering everything from luxury brands to casual styles, cosmetics, home goods, and seasonal sections that are always changing.
What I personally love about Macy’s is the balance between quality and price. You can find designer items at reasonable discounts, especially during sales events. The staff is usually helpful, and there’s a sense of tradition in the way the store is arranged. You can literally spend hours walking from section to section, and it still feels organized.
What stood out most to me was the outside sitting area across the street. I took some time to sit there, grab a drink, and watch the hustle and bustle of NYC go by. It’s such a smart setup—they’ve created a relaxing pocket in the middle of chaos. Tourists, locals, shoppers… everyone passes through this space, and there’s a real city-life energy to it

I had a great experience at the Men's Department at Macy's, thanks to Nusrat! I went in to purchase tuxedos for my brothers for my upcoming wedding, and she was incredibly helpful and patient as I discussed sizes with my brothers over the phone. She offered great style recommendations and made the process so much easier. I also accidentally left my jacket behind, but when I called the next day, another associate was kind enough to help me retrieve it in Lost and Found with no hassle. Additionally, a lovely young lady in the men’s shoe section assisted me with picking out the perfect pair of shoes for them. Overall, the staff went above and beyond. Thank you for the excellent service!

You have to come here to say you've been here. It's a cool experience - enjoyed it. It is very large with many levels. There's a small amount of food options on each level. If you're thinking Harrod's in London - don't. Similar concept but not even close.

What a wonderful store 🏪 They claim to be biggest store in the world, I don't question that 😉 but 7 floors near times square new York means a lot. More than a store it's a tourists place. As you enter the store it's floral theme will welcome you with sweet fragrance and beautiful flowers 🌻🌹 some real flowers some artificial. Each floor has it's on surprises. Think of a premium brand and high end boutique it's present here. Clothes are priced at high end even after discounts. But it is a place to be. Jimmy Choo, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Coach, Gucci, Prada
