Herald Square was part of the seedy mid-19th century theater neighborhood which was called the Tenderloin District. An urban renewal of the 1890's cleaned up the sleaze. Today it is a shopping district anchored by the presence of Macy's. It is thus the terminus of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is broadcasted live each year by NBC.

Herald Square is also featured in the song Give my Regards to Broadway, where the lyrics include the line "remember me to Herald Square".

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
