 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".
