34th Street is a major crosstown street in the New York Urban center borough of Manhattan. It runs the width of Manhattan Island from Due west Side Highway on the West Side to the FDR Drive on the East Side. 34th Street is used as a crosstown artery between New Jersey to the west and Queens to the east, connecting the Lincoln Tunnel to New Jersey with the Queens–Midtown Tunnel to Long Isle.

Several notable buildings are located directly forth 34th Street, including the Empire State Building, Macy'south Herald Square, and Javits Center. Other structures, such as Pennsylvania Station, are located within one block of 34th Street. The street is served by the crosstown M34/M34A bus routes and contains several subway stops.

History [edit]

Between seventh Avenue and Broadway is Macy'south, which advertises itself as the "world'southward largest department store."

The street was designated by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 that established the Manhattan street grid as one of xv e-west streets that would exist 100 feet (30 g) in width (while other streets were designated as 60 feet (xviii yard) in width).^[2]

In April 2010, the New York City Department of Transportation proposed to add motorcoach rapid transit forth the 34th Street corridor. To create exclusive lanes for buses, the street would be converted to one-way westbound operation west of Sixth Artery and one-manner eastbound functioning east of Fifth Avenue; a pedestrian plaza would be created between 5th and Sixth avenues.^[3] The street was eventually kept in two-style operation.

In that location was a mass shooting in 2012; Designer Jeffrey Johnson shot and killed his colleague and others exterior 34th Street and 5th Avenue.^[4]

Clarification [edit]

At the w end of the street one finds the Hudson River, the Due west Midtown Ferry Terminal, the Due west 30th Street Heliport, the Hudson River Greenway, the Westward Side Highway, and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Eye, New York City's chief convention center. On the West Side, 34th Street is in the Hell'due south Kitchen neighborhood, at the north terminate of the W Side Yard. Until 2017 the southwest corner at Tenth Avenue had McDonald'southward with a drive-thru and a modest parking lot, a rarity in Manhattan. On Ninth is B&H Photo Video, a large retailer of photographic and electronic equipment.

Further east at Eighth and 33rd, the James Farley Post Function and Penn Station boss on the south side of the street, serving Amtrak trains to destinations all over the United states of america and Canada, and Long Island Rail Road and New Bailiwick of jersey Transit trains to suburbs. In a higher place Penn Station sits Madison Foursquare Garden, which calls itself "the earth's near famous arena". The thousand stairs of the James Farley Post Role are built on the scale of the erstwhile Penn Station. The architecture of the postal service office gives a flavor of what the surface area was like in the height of the railroad era.

34th Street is a major shopping street. Though it endured a reject in the 1970s, information technology rebounded belatedly in the 20th century with new stores and new energy. In that location is a large video board and lite display at 34th Street and 7th Artery. The block betwixt Seventh Avenue and Broadway is Macy's Herald Square, the famous department shop immortalized in the Christmas movie Phenomenon on 34th Street and taglined as the "globe'southward largest store". The almanac Macy'south Thanksgiving Day Parade ends on 34th Street. Branches of large chain stores also operate between 8th and 5th Avenues.

East of Herald Square and the hectic shopping commune, the influence of the E Side and the sedate corporate office towers of the neighborhoods Kips Bay and Murray Hill starts to have agree. On Fifth Artery one finds the Empire Country Building. The 2nd tallest edifice in the city, information technology stands on a rare ledge of solid Manhattan schist dominating the skyline.

At the far finish one finds bulky luxury residential buildings and a great number of dogs patronizing the pet care parlors that serve the pure-bred loving populations of Kips Bay, which is the name of both the neighborhood and its eponymous bend in the East River where 34th Street ends. At the riverbank are the FDR Drive, the Eastward River Greenway for bicycling to the south end of Manhattan, a small parking lot for New York University, the Eastward 34th Street Ferry Landing (NY Waterway, SeaStreak), and the East 34th Street Heliport.

The New York Mail listed ane office of the street – the block of between Sixth and Seventh Avenues – as one of "the most unsafe blocks in the city" because police crime statistics for 2015 showed that 44 burglaries and 244 m larcenies had been reported at that place, more belongings theft than for whatsoever other city block.^[5]
