'''Herald Square'''  is a major commercial intersection in the [[Midtown Manhattan]] neighborhood of [[New York City]], formed by the intersection of [[Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway]], [[Sixth Avenue]] (officially Avenue of the Americas), and [[34th Street (Manhattan)|34th Street]]. Named for the now-defunct ''[[New York Herald]]'', a newspaper formerly headquartered there, it also gives its name to the surrounding area. The bow tie-shaped intersection consists of two named sections: Herald Square to the north (uptown) and '''Greeley Square''' to the south (downtown).

==Description==
[[File:Naked Pictures of Bea Arthur 0124.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2|Greeley Square]]
Herald Square proper is the north end of the square between West 34th and 35th streets. The old ''[[New York Herald]]'' Building was located on the square. The square contains a huge mechanical clock whose mechanical structures were constructed in 1895 by the sculptor [[Antonin Carlès|Antonin Jean Carles]].<ref name="AIA"/> The monument, known as the [[James Gordon Bennett, Sr.|James Gordon Bennett]] Monument, consists of the Goddess of Wisdom, [[Minerva]] with her owls in front of a bell, flanked by two bell ringers mounted on a Milford pink granite pedestal. The monument's bell was designed to chime on the hour. The two seven-foot-tall bronze laborers, nicknamed Stuff and Guff give the appearance of ringing the bell with their mallets, while in actuality is rung by mallets located behind the bell. The figures and the clock were originally part of the 1894 New York Herald Building that was located at the square. Prior to the demolition of the building in 1921, the figures were removed and reinstalled in the Square in 1940.

Greeley Square lies between West 32nd and 33rd streets between Broadway and Sixth Avenue, and is taken up almost entirely by a triangular park.<ref name="AIA">{{cite AIA4|page=225}}</ref> It is named after [[Horace Greeley]], who was the publisher of the ''[[New York Tribune]]'', the ''Herald's'' rival newspaper. (The two papers later merged to form the ''[[New York Herald Tribune]]''.)<ref>{{cite enc-nyc|page=540}}</ref><ref>{{cite streetbook|page=60}}</ref> There is a [[Statue of Horace Greeley (Herald Square)|statue of Greeley]] inside the park, created in 1890 by [[Alexander Doyle]].<ref name="AIA"/> The small park is planted with trees and shrubbery, enclosed by a wrought-iron fence, and provided with inviting chairs, tables and a restaurant kiosk.

Herald and Greeley Squares stand today as rest areas for the thousands of shoppers that flood the neighborhood, as a lunchroom for thousands of midtown office workers, and as a stage for product launches, musical performances, and photo and film shoots.

The area around Herald Square along Broadway and 34th Street is a retail hub. The most notable attraction is [[Macy's Herald Square]], the [[flagship]] [[department store]] for [[Macy's]], the largest Macy's store in the United States. In 2007, [[Macy's, Inc.]] moved its corporate headquarters to that store after changing the corporation's name from Federated. Macy's' archrival [[Gimbels]] was also located in the neighborhood until 1984; in 1986 that building became the [[Manhattan Mall]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Lueck |first=Thomas J. |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7DB1530F933A2575AC0A96F948260 |title=Fortune's Smile Glimmers on Herald Sq. |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 10, 1989 |access-date=October 20, 2007 |quote=Although Macy's survived and has prospered as the Herald Square landmark, Ohrbach's, Korvettes and Gimbels had closed by 1984.... The {{convert|260000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Herald Center, which opened in 1986 as the city's largest ''vertical mall,'' has so far shown little prospect of success.}}</ref> Other past retailers in the area included [[E.J. Korvette]], [[Stern's]], and [[Abraham & Straus]]. [[J.C. Penney]] opened its first Manhattan flagship store in August 2009 at the former A&S location inside the Manhattan Mall. The square is roughly equidistant between [[Madison Square]] to the south, and [[Times Square]] to the north. Greeley Square's south side borders [[Koreatown, Manhattan|Koreatown]], at West 32nd Street.

==Transportation==
The area is served by the [[New York City Subway]]'s [[34th Street–Herald Square station]], which is serviced by the {{NYCS trains|Herald Square}}.<ref>{{NYCS const|map}}</ref> Additionally, the [[33rd Street station (PATH)|33rd Street station]] on the [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]]'s {{lnl|PATH|HOB-33}}, {{lnl|PATH|JSQ-33}}, and {{lnl|PATH|JSQ-33 (via HOB)}} trains serves the southern part of Herald Square.<ref>{{cite web | title=33 Street Station | website= Port Authority of New York and New Jersey | url=https://www.panynj.gov/path/en/stations/33-street-station.html | access-date=March 6, 2023}}</ref>

==Renovation==
[[File:Statue Greeley Sq snow crop jeh.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2|[[Statue of Horace Greeley (Herald Square)|Greeley statue]]]]
Since 1992, Herald and Greeley Squares have been cared for by the 34th Street Partnership, a [[Business Improvement District]] (BID) operating over 31 blocks in midtown Manhattan. The 34th Street Partnership provides sanitary and security services, maintains a horticultural program that includes trees, gardens, and planters, and produces events, product launches, and photo shoots. 34th Street Partnership also added movable chairs, tables, and umbrellas, to the parks.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} In 1999, the parks were completely renovated by the 34th Street Partnership. Two years later, the partnership added the city's first Automated Pay Toilets in the two squares, one in each square.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hu|first=Winnie|date=2003-08-10|title=What New Yorkers Want From Pay Toilets: Basics; High-Tech Is Swell, but So Is a Simple Flush|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/10/nyregion/what-new-yorkers-want-pay-toilets-basics-high-tech-swell-but-so-simple-flush.html|access-date=2020-06-10|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Since 2008, each square has had a food kiosk operated by sandwich, soup, and salad shop {{not a typo|'Wichcraft}}.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Maurer|first=Daniel|date=2008-09-29|title=Colicchio Opens Two New 'Wichcrafts: Small Potatoes?|url=https://www.grubstreet.com/2008/09/colicchio_opens_two_new_wichcr.html|access-date=2020-06-10|website=Grub Street|language=en-us}}</ref> In 2009, the 34th Street Partnership converted the parks' Automated Pay Toilets into free public facilities, a rarity in New York City.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Del Signore|first=John|date=2009-12-10|title=A "Quality Deluxe Manual Restroom Experience" in Herald Square|url=http://gothamist.com/news/a-quality-deluxe-manual-restroom-experience-in-herald-square|access-date=2020-06-10|website=Gothamist|language=en}}</ref>

With the introduction of "Broadway Boulevard", a 2009 project by the [[New York City Department of Transportation]] to increase pedestrian space on the segment of Broadway between 35th and 42nd Streets, the passive space provided by Herald and Greeley Squares more than doubled, radically changing the character of the area.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/broadwayblvd.pdf |title=Broadway Boulevard - Times Square to Herald Square |date=May 2008 |publisher=New York City Department of Transportation |access-date=2023-03-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Neuman|first=William|date=2009-02-26|title=In New York, Broadway as Great Walk Way|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/27/nyregion/27broadway.html|access-date=2020-06-10|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The two blocks of Broadway between 33rd and 35th Streets were completely closed to vehicular traffic, and were made pedestrian-only with bike lanes. The 34th Street Partnership filled the newly pedestrianized space with chairs, tables, umbrellas, and free public programs such as [[chess]] tables, dance lessons, and exercise classes.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} As of April 2013, the boulevard had been redesigned.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/2012-10-22-broadway-blvd-35-42.pdf |title=Broadway Boulevard - W. 42nd to 35th Streets |date=2012-10-22 |publisher=New York City Department of Transportation |access-date=2023-03-06}}</ref> Because of the popularity of the pedestrian plaza and bike lanes in Herald and Greeley Squares, the plaza was redesigned again in 2019. Another block of Broadway between 32nd and 33rd Street was shut to vehicular and bike traffic, while 33rd Street between Broadway and Sixth Avenue was reopened, and the bike lane through Greeley Square was relocated from Broadway to Sixth Avenue.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/penn-herald-district-mar2018.pdf|title=Penn Herald District Pedestrian Access Plan|publisher=[[New York City Department of Transportation]]|date=March 2019|access-date=July 13, 2019}}</ref> The Greeley Square restroom was restored in 2020.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hu|first=Winnie|date=2020-02-14|title=Is This New York City's Nicest Public Bathroom?|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/14/nyregion/public-bathroom-Greeley-Square.html|access-date=2020-06-10|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

==In popular culture==
Numerous songs refer to Herald Square, such as: [[George M. Cohan]]'s song "[[Give My Regards to Broadway]]" (1904), which includes the lyrics "remember me to Herald Square"; Andrew B. Sterling and Harry Von Tilzer's song "Take Me Back to New York Town" (1907); [[Billy Joel]]'s song "[[Rosalinda's Eyes]]" (1978); and [[Freedy Johnston]]'s song "[[Bad Reputation (Freedy Johnston song)|Bad Reputation]]" (1994).

Herald Square is the terminus for the [[Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade]], broadcast nationally by NBC-TV.
