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

[@joandelorenzo7229]

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.
