Shubert Alley
One Shubert Alley, Broadway's exclusive gift shop, is located in Shubert Alley between 44th and 45th Streets and between Broadway and 8th Avenue. Literally in the center of the Broadway theatre district, the store occupies the space once allotted to three dressing rooms of the legendary Booth Theatre. Stars such as Blythe Danner, Walter Matthau, Henry Fonda, and even the Lunts prepared for their shows in this same space. One Shubert Alley is sandwiched between the Booth and Shubert Theatres and thus has had many famous neighbors: "A Chorus Line", "Sunday in the Park with George", "The Elephant Man", and currently "Gypsy", to name just a few. What makes One Shubert Alley a star in its own right, however, is that it was the first store ever to sell Broadway show merchandise outside of a Broadway theatre. Years ago, if you wanted an "Oklahoma" program you would have to buy a ticket and attend the show in order to obtain it.

Herald Square
Herald Square is a typical Manhattan bow-tie square that consists of two named squares: Herald Square; and Greeley Square, which is specifically the portion between West 32nd Street and West 33rd Street between Broadway and Sixth Avenue (Avenue of The Americas). Herald Square is formed by the intersection of Broadway, Sixth Avenue (officially named Avenue of the Americas) and 34th Street in New York City. The area was named for the New York Herald, now the International Herald Tribune, a famous newspaper originally headquartered there. Befitting its newspaper heritage, a triangular park formed by Broadway, Sixth Avenue, and West 32nd Street is named Horace Greeley Square, after the New York Tribune publisher. There is a statue of Horace Greeley seated inside the park, that was created in 1890 by Alexander Doyle (the Tribune was later acquired by the Herald). There also is a huge mechanical clock located in the companion park, formerly the site of the New York Herald building, at the north end of the square between West 34th Street and West 35th Street, whose mechanical structures were constructed in 1895 by the sculptor Antonin Jean Carles.
