Everything about Herald Square totally explained
Herald Square is formed by the intersection of
Broadway,
Sixth Avenue (officially named Avenue of the Americas) and
34th Street in the
borough of
Manhattan in
New York City. It was named for the
New York Herald, a newspaper originally headquartered there. The Square also gives its name to the surrounding area. The intersection is a typical Manhattan bow-tie square that consists of two named sections: Herald Square to the north (uptown) and Greeley Square to the south (downtown).
Greeley Square lies between West 32nd Street and West 33rd Street and between Broadway and Sixth Avenue, and is taken up almost entirely by a triangular park. It is named after
Horace Greeley, who was the publisher of
New York Tribune, the
Herald's rival newspaper. (The two papers later merged to form
New York Herald Tribune.) There is a statue of Greeley inside the park, created in 1890 by Alexander Doyle Other past retailers in the area included E.J. Korvette,
Stern's, and
Abraham & Straus.
J.C. Penney has announced plans to open its first Manhattan store in the former A&S location inside Manhattan Mall.
The square is roughly equidistant between
Madison Square to the south, and
Times Square to the north. Herald Square's south side borders
Koreatown, at West 32nd Street. The area is served by the
34th Street-Herald Square station and the
33rd Street station of the
PATH.
