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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
