When I go to Macy, I will take this subway, I hope the police can maintain peace here!
Do you enjoy the smell of piss in the air, dirt and filth everywhere, the rails looking like they are flooded with sewage water and garbage? Wel this is the perfect subway station for you! However there are some upsides to the station. There is a lot of entertainment every so often. It definitely should be kept up cleaner though considering it is basically the empire state station
Just before 1am. When they are going to close the subway system. I was able to observe such a cleaning detail. I have been riding the MTA for more 20 yrs and I never seen such thorough clean up.
Kind of disgusting when people eat their food on the train, prepandemic or pandemic.Theres no mutual respect for fellow riders anymore.10/03/2021
Very busy very hot very dirty
One of my favorite stations. Good location. Platforms are clean.
Love this station. Similar to the stations on 2nd for the Q line. This station has its unique character with beautiful mosaics over head. So clean and can be a bit sterile. The platform is deep down and the escalator up (or down) creates interesting views... vanishing point..Upon exiting the station and turning to the right, one is greeted by the Vessel.If you are visiting the Hudson Yards/The Vessel, I would recommend taking the 7 (purple line) to 34th Station Hudson Yards (its the end of the 7 line)Its a great start to a trip to the Vessel and Hudson Yards mall.
This is the 16th station from Queens, and the 30th from Coney Island.
Okay subway station plenty of escalators and elevators
This place is always very clean, free wifi, machine to refill your metro card, trains run on their schedule, very lovely and positive environment. The guys in the booth are always kind and helpful. Is always a great environment
Cool
Large okay station. The MTA allows musicians and bands to play here, and though they are not the most polished bands they can be a fun way to spend some spare time. The bands that Ive heard played catchy rock and country western music.
Always packed but quite a complete service of subway lines. B, D, F, M, N, W, Q, R and way to PATH, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.That’s why it crowded.I have seen so many great artists and performers as well here, so your journey can be entertaining as well.There’s Burger King underneath, some kiosks for papers, magazines, snacks and drinks.Lift and ramps are also available.Police and officers look abundant.
Extremely poor late night service. Careful if you use a pay as you go ticket. Many turn styles are faulty and take money off your ticket while not allowing entry into the subway. Dirty and very stinky. Great impression of New York City for international travelers.
Its a NYC subway...its not much to say. Homeless people, typical bad smells, delays, and occasional madness. Overall its ok. Nothing fancy.
I love 34th street since I was a young girl. There is variety of stores, food places, and its just beautiful. The Empire State Building in all its glory. Great place to shop and eat and enjoy the view.
Big subway station with many train lines. Has many entries so a little complex. Signs and departure boards give arrival subway trains time which is very helpful.As sadly :-( typical of the NYC subway system there are NO bathrooms.
Overall it is a clean station, all trains that go to Coney Island stop here, and you have access to the Bronx, Queens, East side of Manhattan and Brooklyn.Q train: By far the best train to catch their because it runs express, its clean and fast.N train: Also a great and clean train to catch which is also fast amd reliable.D train: Its express and is clean and reliable.M train: I think the M is tied up with the D train for 3rd best train because you can always rely on it.B train: It would be great if it went all the way to the Bronx during off peak hours and didnt take so long to come.W train: Ever since it came back, it has done a great job replacing Q service to Queens and has a nice upgrade in car fleet too.R train: It is old, slow and takes a while to come but the only plus is that it is reliable at times. Also it doesnt run express anywhere which is sad.F train: By far THE WORST train to catch here. It comes every 10 to 15 minutes and 10 to 7 minutes during rush hour. Mostly it is always having a problem and is slow. This is why I rated Herald Square a 4 star and not a 5 star.
Its crowded as usual but I love it.... You gotta be a New Yorker to appreciate Herald Square. There are so many things to see and do on 34th Street. You can definitely go shopping for anything - you name it they got it. The newest attraction is Krispy Kreme donuts. The line was so long it was ridiculous but people stood in that line for them donuts.
Fast and easy to use .maps to help you figure out what train to catch . People playing music all the time .you should take your time and stop and listen. Its pretty enjoyable. Really part of the flavor of New York City
Great place to come when you have something to buy, want a bite, hang out. Everything is here. Pretty clean and good for people watching. The shop are trendy and there is even a target. Koreantown is a definite plus.
No ac. Rat is every where. No train for long time. Dirty and disgusting. Where is our taxes go?
Love what they do in the summer dancing and exercising in the streets.
Its quite busy at this major hub. Macys and other shopping venues are on street level.
Like the path takes you to New Jersey fast. Sometimes people leave excessive trash in the floor at night. There should be a garbage can. Chinese man pla4y eastern music. Handicap signs needs to be behind stairs
Way-finding is very poor, especially in peak hour crowds. It can be difficult to decide (for a first-timer) which platform your train would arrive. Luckily, I found my platform.Just as every other underground NYC subway station, it can be terribly hot in here, especially on humid days.
A little bit crowded. I took a train to Brooklyn.
This station is good because it connects a bunch of lines that could really use a connection- Im thinking of the F and Q specifically. Its bad because in the Summer, it is the hottest train station on Earth. This is a scientific fact.
Has escalators and ramps. Multiple lines and access to Penn station. Live artists doing performances and wifi to send stuff to other people. How cool is that?
About once a year I find myself enjoying a Wafels & Dinges Belgian waffle in Herald Square. Its nice to slow down and take in all the NYC bustle.
Easy access. A lot of times, its crowded. If you need to connect between the two lines, dont let the crowds intimidate you, just follow the signs and you should be fine.
Gives you connections to the 6th Avenue Line (B,D,F, and M Trains) and also connects the Broadway Line (N,Q,R, and W Trains) and also many places to eat and a nice selection of stores in the manhattan mall
Very convenient and helpful for saving money for transportation. It was a great experience
Huge station that connects the B/D/F/M/N/Q/R/W trains. The BDFM and NQRW have different platforms. A large main mezzanine connects both lines, and theres a connection to the PATHs 33rd Street station via a little passageway.
Great area for shopping both retail and wholesale. A plethora of restaurants, edutainment and entertainment. Easy access to all points in the 5 boroughs.
Extremely busy and big subway station - connects to the PATH, and can be used to Times Square. The station is dirty, though, and it is not being cleaned enough.
Dirty, Smelly and filled with homeless people. Terrible signage and no ventilation - just what you would expect in a 3rd world nation. Total failure on the MTAs part.
Very crowded and D train is late or erratic. The electronic sign may say four minutes but its a very long four minutes and the other train will show before the D.
One of the busiest subway stations which connects many subway lines of New York City. There is walkway passage to PATH trains which connects to New Jersey.
There was this very rude guy he said Excuse me!! As I got out of his way, He shouted GET OUT OF MY WAY!he pushes me then he stomps on my foot as he gets on a Subway he shoves another person that was Mexican Im Chinese American so idk if that was racist or not..
Its not the nicest station in the city, but they do well for the amount of traffic they have coming through.
Great place. Has lots of train lines. Next to Empire State Building, Penn Station, and Koreatown. Crowded
Love NYC
This station is huge. Trains on top of trains! The path tunnel closes at ten, but you can still catch it from a station down the street
Best Sunday market!!
So hot! Passengers are savages when boarding the trains.. they dont let people off first! Avoid during rush hour
It is located at Herald Square in Midtown Manhattan where 34th Street, Broadway and Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) intersect, and is served by the: D, F, N, and Q trains at all times.
God bless anyone who has to regularly use this station, especially in the summer
This HORRIBLE station is not accepting debit or credit cards at the 20 metrocard machines today..
Very eclectic and free-spirited station. I dig the vibes and the self-expression capabilities are endless
The switch is near on this station which used for the N train 🚂 on weekdays. Between 2010 and 2016, the N train 🚂 ran Broadway Local with the Q train 🚂 uses the switch on weekdays.
Nice, has 8train stop here, just weekends D,F s planfrom been so quiet.
It can get crowded especially during rush hours. Its also a sauna during the summer.
Sorry and poor service on the B and D lines.The MTA should do better when it comes to public transportation.
The worst subway is in NY, mostly all trains run with delays.
Good sense of direction and clean subway stations.
People everywhere but beautiful buildings, lots to look at.
Train station easy to navigate
Nice stop overall, but F Im pretty sure Ive never gone here without waiting forever for an F.
Its starting to stink and having homeless people living there making the train station look very bad.
5 out of 7 trains go to Coney Island where I live. Hip Hip Jorhey.
An amazing station it connects all of them.
Not a clean place at all.
Always a big fan of good street art.
Decent station, however restrooms are closed indefinitely.
Great bathrooms. Always clean like a dream.
Very hot platforms in the summer. It smells of urine.
Excellent service. Just like my guide and a trusted friend who is always with me!!!!
Really unhygienic, I there was a man urinating on the beams
Felt like I could legitimately contract a disease from using this station.
Beautiful place
Busy NYC subway station, a main hub to get around the city
Really busy place with expensive shops. Go down to Soho and the village if your a tourist.
Nice place to stay and see and church activities
Love it this place
Large hub station, many lines but very hot station
Love MY subway 💞💞
You must expect some stinky homeless people here.
Very good and reliable transportation.
Busy subway
Packed and trains come right on time
Big station, but the service could be better
Smells like pee, sadness, corruption and bankruptcy.
Late night hours it always smells
Dirty, needs to be remodeled & kept clean
Great place to go
Its huge and easy to get lost
One of the very busy subway 🚉 station.
Macys Parade, a treat for the grandkids.
Ok. Like any other shopping mall
Macy s at christmas was a great shopping experience
Beautiful display of the holiday season
Too much homeless people around
Great connecting point. Needs an upgrade.
Very highly secured station
Very convenient and easy to use.
Good station to go to Harsys
Accurate, clear and easy to read
Theres sales everywhere else
Good
Not a clean place at all.

Accessibale station

Its a pretty cool route.Because the meters share the same line.You do not need to struggle to board another metro, it is very easy.Try it, you will see .... 🙂
Love this station. Similar to the stations on the 2nd of the Q line. This station has a unique character with beautiful mosaics on the head. Very clean and can be somewhat sterile. The platform is in its depths, and the elevator up (or down) creates interesting views ... the vanishing point ...When exiting the terminal and heading to the right, the person is greeted by the ship.If you are visiting Hudson Yards / The Vessel, I recommend taking 7 (purple line) to 34th Hudson Yards (its the end of Line 7)Its a great start to a trip to the Vessel and Hudson Yards Mall.
Listening to good music always feels good.
I commute here by car every day. --The Macys in the general election, although the windows are sealed with wooden boards, they are still so beautiful! Besides; they continue to operate.
Many metro lines bring you to this station.
Small park across from Macys. public toilets which are well maintained. Are currently being renovated. But should be open again in two weeks. Good seating in the summer. Very shady with some trees. Kiosk in the entrance. Subway 34th Street Herald Square three minutes away.
Big station, a bit confusing.
West 33rd st greeley SQ is a good option to compare. You find the most recognized shops, hotels and restaurants of your choice, you can have a good time with your family. The little parks are beautifully decorated. And clean I recommend it
A beautiful place to relax, quiet and enjoy the wonder that is ny ❤️Follow me on Instagram @ tony_morals502
The heat is unbearable. At least there is a mobile line.
Cool!!!
It is very beautiful, the super cheap prices I like
It is a very good and beautiful place to go shopping 🛍
Beautiful plaza, one block from the Empire State, next to Macys and many well-known brand stores ...
Station that is in a strategic point, is close to everything!
Easy to find, we took the path to NJ, it was fast.
Large sorting station, very fast
Handsome!
Its a magic place .

2022-02-13A huge station, and for NYC subway standards, I would have to say, it pretty clean and well maintained. Occasionally Ive been entering the subway and there have been solicitors calling out for support, asking for money/change etc. And its made me feel a bit unsafe, but thats the subway. Its a relatively busy location. There have been amazing shows there, musicians, singers, dancers, etc.

2022-02-07¡Accessible Entrance!Wow! Apparent Putrid Odor on the morning of Sunday, 2022.02.06 but is otherwise clean and well maintained.The highlight of this station ls the good energy ergyns emanating from the MTA workers. Downright jovial.A more typical cast of characters seem to reside here but generally stays to themselves.TIP: The MTA is handing out masks free of chargeTIP: Watch if you are trying to jump the turnstiles as police seem to be stopping folks. Just ask and most likely they will let you through.A

2021-06-10A great way to travel to JFK.Take the subway from Penn Station to JFK. It’s $2.75 for a 34’ ride to Sutphin Blvd on the E line, where you transfer to Airtrain for $7.75 to reach all JFK terminals.Follow signs towards Jamaica center. You are going uptown. (some signs will only say uptown or downtown). You will get off on the station after Jamaica center, called Sutphin Blvd.From Penn Station you can also take the A subway line for $2.75, but it takes longer. Or use the LIRR, which is faster, but costs three times as much.Google maps incorrectly states that you need to take an Uber to get to terminal 7. That’s wrong. The airtrain stops at Terminal 7.You will need a Metrocard to use the Airtrain. The few is $1. You can load money and pay with debit and credit cards. The metrocard will also enable you to pay the $2.75 for the subway.

2021-05-05On Wednesday about 11am. Its not crowded. Stations not a lot of people. Its clean, has some homeless, dont have any smells, platforms not crowded too. I waited for the M train so I saw F, B, D including M not crowded in this time. Everyone still on their mask. Hope Covid-19 will go away soon.

2019-07-09Fully accessible station for the B,D,F,Q,R,N,M and PATH trains at 33rd Street with its own accessible entrances. There are also entrances via the Mall. This is the 34th Street Herald Square station stop with about 12 entrances: some of 34th and Broadway, 35th and Broadway, 34th and 6th, 35th and 6th, 32nd and 6th, 33rd and 6th and 33nd and Broadway.

Review №7
2020-02-16With this station near Macys, the Empire State Bldg, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station, just about every New Yorker who takes the trains comes here every so often. There is a small elevator on 33rd st away from the main station entrance on 34th. Some corridors close at 10 pm. Serves path trains and nyc subways.
Review №8
2020-02-01Large, well maintained and a busy subway in the heart of Manhattan. Variety of stores present and artist performing at the station most of the time. Hats off to the security personals present at the station for the protection of the passengers. Although the normal swipe cards are a bit annoying something, smart cards work here.
Review №9
2017-08-28Im sorry to say but this station is dirty, smelly, hot, not air-conditioned. Americans IMO should invest some money in such everyday things, rather than weapons.

2021-06-2234 st one of the most famous subway station in the world herald sq ,is your stop to nyc famous Macys department store. And one of the busiest transportation hubs anywhere. This station also has an elevator.plus you have B,D,M,F,N,Q,W,R,trains at this station.Dont forget about the performers on the platform that sing and dance, and play different kinds of instruments, trumpets, drums etc ,for a little money.
