Herald Square is awful. It's always jam packed with aggressive tourists. The streets and sidewalk dirty. None of the nearby shops or eating establishments are worth your time, unless you want a quick, greasy bite. Avoid it if you can!

Herald Square is where Broadway intersects with Sixth Avenue. It has been synonymous with clothes shopping forever due to the fact that Macy's Department Store's flagship is right there, facing onto the square. And of course many other big national chains like H&M and Victoria's Secret also have stores there too. But the thing that draws me to Herald Square... More

If the weather is nice this is a great area to sit back and people watch. Go to Pax deli and get take out coffee and cupcakes and enjoy watching the shoppers. Then head into Macys for retail therapy.

Loved the remodeling of the Victoria's Secret store. Beautiful! This store has everything. The decor is like no other. At least three floors and lots of helpful staff. They have items that alot of stores don't offer. LOVED IT!

We went to Herald Square in December, and it is very nice. The shop windows are beautiful, and it is a very nice spot in the middle of New York City. You can chill out and take a break or take-in NYC.

Being so close to my hotel, I always had my routine rest in the park to catch my breath after long treks in the city. So relaxing because it was unspoiled by the rustle and bustle surrounding it. One could just sit there to the contrast of the fast-moving world around it.

Right near Macy's, little sit down area, nicer than up town stores.We viewed the Macy's Christmas windows without the awful crowds that are uptown. Nice stores, even a Jc Penney's. Lots to do in the area, more affordable than uptown

I loved the atmosphere on Herald Square filled with pre-Christmas shoppers. That time also the Christmas window decorations were put on the Macy's store - magical !!!
