Read moreAs a New York Photographer Herald Square is a relatively small space in Manhattan but it is one of the most communal places you can go in NYC without being overwhelmed with unrequested banter, pushy sales tactics or plain noise.
I have taken many photos of Herald Square I am Bxkiddo1 on IG click me to see more of New York though my lens.
Firstly, HS is smack dab in midtown Manhattan the best place for anyone new to start, most people arrive from whichever borough they are traveling from into Penn Station or Grand Central Station.
