Did you know that Times Square isn't the only famous "square" in New York City? The intersection of Broadways, Sixth Avenue (officially named Avenue of the Americas) and 34th Street is also known as Herald Square. Herald Square, like Times Square, is named for a famous New York City newspaper- the New York Herald, now the International Herald Tribune. The newspapers official headquarters used to be located at the center of this busy intersection, although it has since been relocated. The area is now known as one of NYC's largest retail hubs, supporting a number of trendy stores and designer boutiques. A number of landmark buildings are also located within minutes of the Square including the legendary Herald Square Hotel. New York City car rental clients are encouraged to investigate this lesser known Square before embarking on an upcoming Big Apple adventure. Accommodations are often cheaper in the neighborhood compared to the neighboring Times Square intersection.

From Retail to Residential: The Future of Herald Square

A brand new residential building complex is currently in the works for the Square, providing New York City car rental clients with a chance to purchase a piece of prime midtown real estate. The 692-unit Herald Towers is the biggest Manhattan residential project in the city's last 5 years, and anticipation is extremely high.

The Herald Tower will be located directly across from Macy's.
