Macy's at 34 Street

For the first time in decades I went to the flagship store at Herald Square. Quite different from what I remember! But I was able to try on clothes in a very modern cubicle with different lighting, i.e., outdoor, evening. Salesperson was efficient and the restrooms have been greatly updated! Was nice to see the old wooden escalators still there. It was great just being in a store and able to try on the clothes. For awhile it was the "good old days"!!

My greatest thrill when I first started working was to go to Herald Square the day after Thanksgiving and stand in the same spot where the parade was

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Macys at Herald Square remains the quintessential picture of the perfect department store. You can stand at the bottom of those wooden escalators and imagine the ladies in long swirling skirts going upstairs and during every other fashion period from then until now. The store at Christmas is the most beautiful of any I've seen and a "have to" for children !! The most FABULOUS Santa you will experience and always remember. It is absolutely the Miracle on 34th Street Christmas store. I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas in New York and Macys is my first stop. I miss it all !!

That is the best Macy's I have ever been in. So much merchandise.

I can't even remember the last time I was in Macy's on 34th Street. Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdale's were my favorite as an adult working.

I was wondering if the wooden escalator was still up an running.....what childhood memories of that store though and the wooden escalator!

Probably my favorite store to shop in. It isn't your typical Macy's having LV, Gucci, etc. Every time I read of Macy's struggling, I wonder what would happen to that store (and the Thanksgiving Parade) if it went under. When my husband picks me up after a day of shopping there, he says my arms look like an orangutan holding all those bags!

@Luvitorleaveit1 That was also the best Lord and Taylor I ever shopped in.

I love Macy's and have always enjoyed my shopping experience there. I have been going to Macy's at 34th St. since I was a young girl when my mother used to take my sister and me. Of course my most favorite time at Macy's was at Christmas time, the store was magical!!!!! I bought so many different items , household things, clothing, toys and so much more. I hope Macy's continues to stay open and thrives!!!!!
