This is the Macy's Flagship store and the largest department store I have ever seen. I easily get lost in it. Herald Square is a nice part of town close to all the major sites, including Empire State.

Voted #1 Pizza in the USA. Great lunch stop after a trip to Dumbo on the East River Ferry. Try to get there earlier because they close between lunch and dinner to re-fire the ovens.

Historic. Sister restaurant of Juliana's. There are a ton of "NY Style" pizza places at every corner. This one is a classic. Nothing fancy. Nothing crazy. Just a thin crispy slice of pizza.
