Hidden treasures: The ancient wooden escalators of Macy’s New York. Enter the flagship Macy’s Herald Square store from the Seventh Ave. side and walk through to the bank of elevators. Ignore them. Instead, walk around and go to the escalators just behind them. Most of the original wooden escalators have been replaced with modern metal ones, but if you get to the right floors, you’ll be greeted by these gems, which are still in service—wooden treads and all.
