34th Street Coworking Space

Geographic Boundaries

34th Street traverses almost the entire width of Manhattan, from the West Side Highway along the Hudson River to FDR Drive along the East Side, and is an important crosstown route between the Lincoln Tunnel (west) and Queens-Midtown Tunnel (east). 34th Street’s commercial corridor exists mainly between Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenue. The official 34th Street District contains 31 blocks in Midtown Manhattan, while 34th Street itself passes through a number of neighborhoods including Hudson Yards, Penn Station, and Kips Bay.

Businesses, Stores & Retailers

Macy's Herald Square - one of the largest department stores in the world - serves as an anchor for this retail corridor just near Broadway. Large flagship stores such as Zara, H&M, and Old Navy surround Herald Square; upscale boutiques and specialty stores tend to be close to Fifth Avenue. The Hudson Yards complex at the western terminus contains luxury brands like Cartier and Dior.

Fine Dining Establishments

Keens Steakhouse has been around since 1885 and is still the best place to get dry-aged beef around Sixth Avenue. The most popular power lunches in Midtown are typically found in small local spots in proximity to major corporate towers. Speakeasy-style bars, a number of which serve craft cocktails, and rooftop lounges are providing options for the after-hours crowds.

Historical Attractions

The Empire State Building (1931) towers over the skyline of the area at Fifth Avenue, and the original Pennsylvania Station (opened in 1910, demolished in 1963 and rebuilt underground) shaped 34th Street in many ways. The James A. Farley Post Office building is now home to the Moynihan Train Hall. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade started in 1924 and concludes at Herald Square with the teams of giant balloons the parade is known for.

Architectural Landscape

The street composition involves a combination of Beaux-Arts, Art Deco, and present-day glass towers. The Empire State Building is setback-style Art Deco. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (1986) stands near the Hudson. Other recent additions include Hudson Yards' Vessel and the 10 Hudson Yards office tower.

Transportation Infrastructure

The 1/2/3 at Penn Station (34th St), the B/D/F/M at Herald Square (34th St), and the 7 trains at Hudson Yards (34th St) are all accessible by underground. NJ Transit trains stop at Penn Station, and the M34/M34A Select Bus Service offers crosstown routes. There are Citi Bike stations along the street.

Postal Codes

The primary ZIP codes are 10016 (east of Madison Avenue), 10121 (commercial high-rises), and 10001 (west of 5th Avenue). Some buildings use proprietary ZIPs for large tenants, and adjacent codes stretch into Chelsea (10011).

Corporate Presence

Warner Bros. Discovery, BlackRock and L'Oréal USA have office space in towers located not far from Penn Station. Meta occupies space at Hudson Yards. Pfizer moved its headquarters to The Spiral at Hudson Yards in 2023.
