Herald Square (34th Street Partnership)
Neighborhood: West 30s
Type of Place: Parks
Description:
The restoration of Herald and Greeley Squares, completed in 1999, was 34SP's most dramatic capital project. Transforming what had been concrete wastelands into gorgeous oases in the heart of the District, the project created a much-needed space that serves workers, shoppers, and tourists alike. Each Square offers chairs, tables and umbrellas, immaculate free restrooms, and food kiosks operated by Wafels & Dinges and Nuchas. Herald and Greeley Squares have also served as sets for TV and film projects, as sites for product openings, and as quintessentially "New York" backdrops for photo shoots. And for over fifty years the image of Herald Square as the terminus for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has beamed into millions of American homes.
