As Broadway marches north and west across Manhattan it forms a series of squares beginning with Union Square at 14th Street.
The Union Square neighborhood is a thriving cultural, business, educational and health care hub.
Throughout Manhattan and beyond, the vibrant community is known as the Heart of Off-Broadway and is celebrated for its top-notch restaurants, diverse retailers, excellent universities and hospitals, and one of the city's most popular parks.
Union Square Park, the staging ground for numerous historic rallies, demonstrations and gatherings hosts a popular Greenmarket that brings fresh produce to the city's inhabitants.
During the holiday season, the southern end of the Park becomes the Union Square Holiday Market.
One of the best places in the City to people-watch year round; you can review the never-ending parade of people AND surf the net! Bring your computer to Union Square and log onto the Internet (for free!) through the wireless node.
