Riding ALL Macy's Wooden Escalators Herald Square NYC [Jersey Joe # 695]

Macy's flagship store in Herald Square, New York City is one of the last stores in the world that still has wooden escalators. They are slowly being taken out of service or refurbished with parts from other stores. I ride every single one still in operation as of October 2023 and I'm bringing you along!

Thank You!! I have been in love with the wooden escalators since I first discovered them many years ago - and I would get annoyed when you were on them and they turned into the metal ones.......They have character , they just feel special!!! Hope Macy's keeps them!!

[@JerseyJoe50]

I hope so too. From what I’ve read, they’re doing everything to keep them, but they had to substitute and retrofit a few with metal pieces underneath. You can see that in a few of my shots.

i can’t wait to check this out for myself!!

[@JerseyJoe50]

Excellent! You have to go up a few floors to find them on the main sales area.
