The reader may be familiar with the lyrics "Remember me to Herald Square" from the George M. Cohan song "Give My Regards to Broadway". Herald Square is named after the New York Herald newspaper. At one time it had been home to opera houses and theaters and is still well-known as the location of Macy's department store. It is located on 34th Street at the crossing of Broadway and Sixth Avenue in New York City. In the north side of the square there is a sculpture commemorating the Bennetts.
