Union Square in downtown New York centers around the square and park. Everyday, Union Square Park brings people together from all over the city. Artists set up their crafts and musicians perform next to the huge subway station. Down a few steps is the wonderful Union Square farmers market. And all around the square are offices, hotels, businesses and the Empire State Building peaking out above the skyline. A combination of college students, professionals, and performance artists take advantage of this lively, central neighborhood.

Union Square, New York City
Union Square is where I used to spend my days before I turned 21. There is always something going on there: Flee Market, Protest, Punks Skateboarding, People Playing Soccer, Music etc. If you’re not into all that, it’s still a good place to just sit down and relax with a friend. There’s also a number of trains that stop there so it’s a great place to meet up. Union Square is also near NYU so there’s this youthfulness that comes along with it. There’s also a number of places to shop and dine around there. On a good summer night, Union Square will still be as lively at 2am as it was at 2pm so it’s a good place to check out when you just left the bars and want to eat your 2bros pizza. The only thing I dislike about Union Square is that they got rid of the Virgin Megastore that was there. One could spend countless hours just listening to music, reading books, or finding cheap movies. Overall, it’s a good place to hang out if you’re broke.
