Herald Square is formed by the intersection of
Broadway,
Sixth Avenue (officially named Avenue of the Americas), and
34th Street in the
borough of
Manhattan in
New York City. Named for the
New York Herald, a now-defunct newspaper formerly headquartered there, it also gives its name to the surrounding area. The intersection is a typical Manhattan bow-tie square that consists of two named sections: Herald Square to the north (uptown) and
Greeley Square to the south (downtown).
