Built in 1902, Macy’s Herald Square has always been a trendsetter, being the first building to have a modern-day escalator. As a NYC icon, the Macy’s flagship store is a New York City tradition you have to see while staying in Midtown. America’s largest department store covers an entire city block and features 11 levels of shopping. Even if you’re in the mood for window shopping, you can’t go wrong with exploring Macy’s and the other shops in the Herald Square area.
