Macy's flagship has stood at Herald Square since 1902 and covers nearly an entire city block with 11 levels of fashion, shoes, housewares and more. Several of its wooden escalators are still running, and you can ride them between floors. The Broadway side shows animated window displays at Christmas, a flower show takes over the store each spring, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ends right outside. A visitor center sits on the mezzanine level.
