The 33rd Street PATH station, opened on November 10, 1910, is located on Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), between 32nd and 33rd Streets in Manhattan, under Herald Square.[1]
The present station is not the original. When the Independent Subway's 6th Avenue line was being built in 1936 it was necessary to relocate the H & M 33rd Street station. The original station was closed in December 1937. A new terminal station located at 32nd Street was opened September 1939. Although the station is at 32nd Street the 33rd Street name was retained.
In addition the H & M station at 28th Street, which had opened November 10, 1910, was closed and demolished. As a partial compensation for the loss of the station an entrance to the new terminal was opened at 30th Street.
Connections are available at Penn Station a quarter mile (400 meters) away, to Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, and New Jersey Transit, as well as to the nearby Herald Square station of the New York City Subway. A "Gimbels passageway" was formerly used by pedestrians to connect to Penn Station under 33d Street, but was closed in the 1980s for security.
