Lonely Planet review

This crowded convergence of Broadway, Sixth Ave and 34th St is best known as the home of Macy's department store, where you can still ride some of the remaining original wooden elevators. The busy square gets its name from a long-defunct newspaper, the Herald, and the small, leafy park here bustles during business hours thanks to a recent and much-needed face-lift.

Don't bother with the two indoor malls south of Macy's on Sixth Ave, where you'll find a boring and suburban array of chain stores (with the exception of Daffy's, which offers great discounts on big labels).
