Though HS has been popular for some time – it was mentioned in “Give My Regards to Broadway” some one hundred years ago – it is today well-known for its presence in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is watched around the country annually.
HS could also be considered somewhat of a “twin” to the nearby Greeley Square, where a triangular park rests between West 33rd and West 32nd Streets. Several blocks north is the world-famous Times Square, but despite the close proximity the two squares could be considered different neighborhoods entirely. A short walk eastward will get you to the Empire State Building and a walk of a few blocks westward will put you in proximity to Madison Square Garden.
Despite its prime New York location, HS still maintains its own local identity – even if the New York Herald no longer exists there.
