Rated out of 5
We stopped in to check out the historic Macy’s as well as buy some sheets. The person in the bedding department was super helpful, but ended up recommending that we order online when they went on sale the next day. I loved seeing the historic wooden escalators. And would’ve loved to have more time to shop. I did buy some shoes in the UGG shop within the store, and that was fun.

This review is from the view of a tourist. If you are visiting NYC and have never been to the 34 st store you should definitely go. The store is very large and contains a mix of history like wooden escalators and the piano from the movie big, to great shopping with an almost endless variety. The staff is friendly, and will help you navigate the store. There are 8 resturants in the store for you to take a rest and recharge.

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!

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!

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!
