"Located at 34th Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenues, Macy's one-million-square-foot flagship store opened in 1924 when the retailer debuted its New York City flagship and launched a Thanksgiving-morning Christmas parade to boost holiday sales. I note that the 2.5-mile Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade now concludes in front of this Herald Square store—often called the World’s Largest Macy’s—which is routinely transformed into a makeshift stage for performances during the procession." - Rachel Chang
